I don't mind being called "unattractive" or "ugly" but please don't assume I or anyone else is "stupid" because they recently learned something you already know.
We're all ignorant of many things, while being stupid is "knowing" something and not applying it (or refusing to instruct others).

People who assume there is something wrong with you because you didn't know something at a certain time have judgmental, little minds. We all learn different things at different times.

People put others down in a feeble attempt to make themselves feel better.

Exactly ! Some can only stand tall by making others kneel

Yes, ignorance and stupidity are not the same thing. Ignorance you can do something about.

In all honesty, if you just learned something you should have learned in your 20's it's hard not to insult your intellegence.

@PalacinkyPDX you are? Wow, I never would have figured that out on my own! Thanks a million!

It didn't exist when I was in my twenties, and really only "took off" in my late 40's ?
It's still pretty much in it's infancy even now.

Real working and worldly intelligence, has little to do with problem solving ability. It is much more to do with personalty; especially, honesty about the limits of your knowledge, caring enough to work at things and not being happy with second best and most of all, having the strength to change when you find you are wrong.

Good point.
