"Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise" is a saying of which most people know only three words. Taken out of context as they are, these seem to promote willful ignorance in all matters, yet are often taken as absolute truth.

Ignorance
The state in which the United States today is in; extreme unawareness about the world around you and the history of it. Ignorance people are usually proud of people ignorant, one of the saddest things that our pathetic world has acomplished.
Fag: I'm ignorant!! YUSSSS! ignorance is the shieett!
Cool person: Loser. ignorance isn't something to be proud of.
A characteristic of the majority of Americans. People who enclose themselves into a small glass jar, made up by their own pseudo culture and oversimplified (often erroneous) view of the world, and then assume they are superior to everyone else. (Characteristic viewed as amusing by most Europeans).
"Those Americans are so full of ignorance!"
"Why?"
"Probably because their society does not have a serious cultural background..."
