And if you haven't realized, thats part of a problem I have with the general populace these days. Instead of pursuing real knowledge of a matter or respecting the knowledge of those who have it, everyone is smug with themselves and thinks they're their own genius despite the ignorance. Expectations of respect goes all the wrong ways today.
Again, I think I've said many times, I don't respect those who don't shut up, and pose questions and seek answers about something they don't know but pretend they know.
I found it quite evident on this board for example, when people were actually accusing me of having no knowledge about knights and samurais... :S
I found it particularly interesting when people who have fairy tale knowledge of the two types of warriors were actually telling me I knew nothing despite the history, and military history I took as an undergrad and as a military enthusiast. Fortuantely though, there are yet those who respectfully actually asked questions instead of making their own ignorant statements.
