Yes, I would like to consider "you" (as in the general public like you stated before) ignorant because of the fact that you, for the most part, have no knowledge of the subject. The reson I would like to do this is because that is, in fact, a completely correct use of the word "ignorant".

If you don't want to be by yourself that's okay. I suppose I could just walk around quizzing people on astrobiology and get you some company, but as of right now the reason you're alone is because you're the only person who has made a statement on this board about astrobiology that showed ignorance (Well, there are probably more, but that was the only one I read). The general public is irrelevant since a majority of them aren't even participating in this thread. Also, I AM ignorant in many subjects, but the reason I didn't bring that up is because it's not relevant. We're not discussing "other subjects" and I haven't made any claims without justification that I'm aware of (at least in this thread) so there's no reason it would need to come up.

The Sci Fi channel show wasn't even about Astrobiology. It was about UFOs and anal probes and shit. The point to that story being, I'm not enlightened or anything. I'm just a stoner with cable TV, a college catalog, and a dictionary (featuring the word "Ignorant") and things just worked out this way.
