I'll go for "enlightened" arrogance. In other words, I don't mind arrogance so much if.. it's warranted.

I mean, there's this neurosurgeon I know. He's arrogant. Then again.. he operates on brains for a living. He's put in the time as far as education and experience to be a little bit arrogant.

So I'll choose enlightened or maybe a better term would be warranted arrogance over ignorance any day.

P.S. I've known arrogant people who are just ignorant. In other words their arrogance blinds them to their own ignorance if that makes any sense.

Yup.

You two are just the opposite of me, . I fight not to HATE arrogant people. Ignorant people can be informed and educated. There is hope there.

But that's not true.

The insufferable are the willfully ignorant.

No matter how many times you present them with information or facts that are contrary to their beliefs, they simply ignore it.

Like birthers.

so i look at your deffinition as a perfect example

of the arrogant. they are insufferable and willfully

ignorant of anything not of their likin.

the closin of the mind against whut is not the desirable

answer. ah, contempt of 'other thoughts' and beliefs.

i still choose the peace of ignorance, rather than the ignorance of arrogance.

If you absolutely had to choose, which of these qualities is "better" in people?

...They both suck.

But I'd rather deal with someone that's arrogant but knows their shit than someone that's just completely and totally clueless.

I agree . I can not stand to be held in contempt and condescended to.
