Is being ignorant a right?

[the_bob_delusion]

Should you respect someone's right to not get educated or choose to be ignorant?

Of course. Nascar spectators, Trump supporters, Murdoch readership. They're a necessary evil.

If an OP ignoring comments while going on and on and on about drivel is ignorance, then I guess that is their right.

Are you saying people who don't agree with you are ignorant or that ignorant people are evil?

Do you respect other people's rights?

I respect your right to post drivel. If that is ignorant, on your part, that seems to be your right.

So it would seem ignorance is a right.

It isn't actually a right, more a condition.

Depending on where you live. Australians have very few rights.

They say ignorance is bliss

I often wonder what that feels like.

I don't respect ignorance. As stated here many times, people who constantly go on about "rights" are often the ones who cannot accept the responsibilities that accompany "rights". Playing the "it's my right" card is often a cop-out excuse for making inane comments.

[bidicus*maximus]

Usually those who "choose to be ignorant" and "not get educated" are the ones most vocally demanding that everyone else respects their "rights" (mostly entitlements) that they believe are theirs for achieving birth.

I will leave it to the reader to decide if these beliefs should be respected...
