Confronting the Ignorant

    In my travels I have encountered some truly ignorant people. Religious types, vegetarians/vegans, would-be artists types, anyone who believes in astrology and of course my favorite; the long nosed intellectual.

    How does one confront these people? If you know someone is wrong, do you say so? Or just let it slide and tolerate their blatant idiocy. Perhaps you educate them? Do tell.

    Don't travel , you clearly haven't the required social skills. How far can you travel on your free bus pass?

    I find that if I cannot outwit them I can kill them.
    It's getting lonely here.

    Go for it, bollox-talkers need a reality check every once in a while, lest the line between fact and their opinion blur.
    Although you do come across like an arrogant twat in your OP, so maybe leave it to someone with more tact.

    Some of us appreciate honesty, and right you are; tolerating idiots only makes you one.
