*grins and plays with her pretty shiny star*

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

:p

[sarcaustik.livejournal.com]

Both.

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Choose, damnit! :)

[lazrus-armagedn.livejournal.com]

No...you have not provided an XOR option

Ignorance is both bliss and unforgivable...I cannot choose one and say it is not, therefore, the other

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

now this is a problem...
there have been things in my life where I would definitely rather have lived in ignorance. And some things found out that I was very annoyed at not being told. so both would be my answer

But then how could you know if ignorance would be bliss or unforgivable until you are no longer in ignorance?

I'm going to go and get more coffee and ignore anything philosophical I think...

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

/me holds his hand for a shiny star as well :)

managed to spot that one in one of the brief moments between being disconnected!

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Quite. Drink your coffee and cast your vote :)

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

*sigh*
ok - done
had to choose bliss because it only becomes unforgivable when you are no longer in ignorance...

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

*hands that man another gold star* :)

(x) Regrettably inevitable?

(x) Curable

I'm sure noone knows WHAT you could be talking about?!!

[sciamachy.livejournal.com]

Depends really who's being ignorant, and about what. I believe it's forgiveable to keep kids in the dark about certain things so as to allow them to have a childhood. Innocence is a form of ignorance but it's one which is precious. However, wilful ignorance in adults is unforgivable - it's the 8th deadly sin in my book.

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

You can take it in any manner you choose but I would guess I'm mainly talking about what ignorance means to the reader personally.

I spotted the old quiz, but it went away before I could vote for bliss instead of ignorance. I hope I get at least a silver star?

On this one, I'm not going to vote. Ignorance is... inevitable.

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Lol, yes, you can have a silver star.

[ex-lark-asc.livejournal.com]

Ignorance is both.

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Choose, damnit! :)

[ex-lark-asc.livejournal.com]

Shan't. Haven't chosen one gender or one partner, shan't choose one answer either. Shall Cope With The Grim Realities Of Life instead :)

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

*grin* Very good :)

*hands you a gold star*

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

*applause*

[ex-lark-asc.livejournal.com]

Thank you both. I just wish I wasn't saying this because ignorance being both bliss and unforgivable is a fairly major feature of my life just now :(

I am suddenly reminded of...

[gerald_duck]

The only way to resolve the issue was a no-holds-barred internal conflict, pitching the forces of aestheticism and scholarship against those of depravity and ignorance. As host I was, according to tradition, given the honour of nominating their prospective champions: for the latter, a giant invisible leopard; for the former, a drugged postman tied to a chair.

Re: I am suddenly reminded of...

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Heh. If only.. ;)

[carakarena.livejournal.com]

Neither! It just is.

[ak67.livejournal.com]

If we were all ignorant to lifes realities, would that mean we were all living in a world of bliss cos we wouldn't know any differant?

[ak67.livejournal.com]

I think I would like to be in that world at the moment and possible stay there, for good!

I refuse to answer on account that you have missed an important answer off.......

(Ignorance is...

Bliss
Unforgiveable
Both)

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Like I said to everyone else - Choose, damnit!

[goddesssnoweh.livejournal.com]

NO! DAMNIT! you ARE NOT my master.

Geeze, how many more times?

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Lol! You're deluded :p

Ignorance is...

[dylan.livejournal.com]

...a great way to wind azekeil up by not choosing or asking for another option

Do I get my "choose dammit" now?
