Has anyone heard of the veil of ignorance?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@\n\nLeave Mexico alone.  \n\nIt is man-made division anyway!  How would anyone like to be on the other side of the less fortunate.\n\nI think it is usually the ones who are not getting ahead who are really afraid of others taking their patch.\n\nThe successful and purposeful people (not necessary rich) don't worry this much about migrants coming to steal their bread, rice, pasta, etc. They know if they work hard enough, they'll have their share!\n\n_________________________________________\nIt is like the dog that sits put guarding his bowl for his master to top it up, eats whatever is given, not much of a choice; \n\nThese dogs are similar to people who don't travel (besides some genuine cases of dislike for travels), people who can't afford to travel because they are losers waiting around their little plot ready to jump at newcomers who move around for their existence.  \n\nAt least these migrants (I only support legal ones) are doing something positive about their lives - taking charge of their destiny and being proactive for their existence.  They are those who don't believe that someone else own them their living!)\n\n\nVersus the other dog who leaves his bowl knowing where to find food elsewhere, finds what he likes, having choices!  and then when these winners cast their eyes besides them, they see nothing but the same old loser of a 'bowls-guarding dogs'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loser with mentality that because we are born on this patch, we have the rights to sit down and wait to be served??????\n\nThe quicker these mentality of birth rights are put in the right perspective, this world will have less losers.\n\nPeople who keep barking around their bowls are losers anyway.  So they can keep barking, nothing much will change.  \n\nThe hard workers win, it is nature's law, like it or not!\n\n------------------------------------------\n\n@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Ignorance is the root of all evil.  It shows its ugliness throughout history.  People believing that god has directed their leaders to kill.  Belief that different races are somehow inferior.  Follow blindly the advice of a religious leader, political leader, or even a friend.  Don't be ignorant.  No more witch hunts, suicide bombers, spanish inquisitions, genocide. Stop representing beliefs as fact.Question your leaders, and even your own beliefs.  If they don't stand up to the truth, reject them.  It's time for us to develop a new system of dealing with each other, based on today's reality.  I've started,  and I need your help.  Check out my blog on yahoo 360.

Yes, hard to believe that some would try to cover it up like it never happened.  \n\nI visited the Halocaust memorial in Israel.  Very moving.\n\nhttp://www.yadvashem.org/\n\nMy question to you is, why did you place this question in the Mythology and Folklore section?

I do not think ignorance is something that can make us happy because, if we do not know a certain thing we definitely cannot avoid it, learn something from a certain happening or find a solution to a problem we are not aware of. Knowing what you know and what you don't can help you be the master of your own destiny and I believe ignorance is desired only by coward people. On the other hand, too much knowledge can make you become disgusted with life, to see the empty half of the glass in almost everything..information is indeed something that will not allow you to sleep at night. Try to read Anton Chekhov's short story "The Bet"

Yes it does exist. \nFor example:\nhttp://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/offtopic/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=offtopicforum\n\nThis is an offtopic forum where you can say basically whatever you want. You can cuss and say your mind. The mods cant do squat to you.\n\nHowever, stupidity and ignorance is not very accepted. If youre a racist and say ignorant things or if you talk about killing someone, then people will wont take it lightly. Not because they dont want to give you freedom of speech, but because ignorance angers people and it breaks the other amendment to treat everyone equally.

I've never heard about it and have been looking for new books to read.  Thanks for the tip!

I found it shocking, disturbing and compelling. They say you know the truth when you here it; well it all seems to ring true. Some have mentioned it as propeganda. No. Its a dangerous documentary that has used facts, COMMON SENSE and many many eye witnesses and footage. I for one found it quite disconcerting to know that it was a set-up. Look at what the Bush administration has used it to aid? Afganistan and Iraq, the deaths of thousands, more genuine terrorism including in  countries that have backed America in this phoney 'war upon terrorism'. Its sickening to actually see the evidence that we've been lied to and are still being lied to. Those who cannot see this from this documentary, good luck to you. You are so engrossed in the system and the illusions that the govenment continually dish out that you deserve sympathy. Just think of this; consider the dangers that those who put this documentary could be in and have been risking by making it. This is accusing the government, the fat-cats and the organisations such as the FBI in a very big and dangerous way. They're exposing a most ugly conspiracy that is endangering. I'm just amazed that this documentary is obtainable.\n\nGood luck everyone.

I don't think this is something you can ever measure.  Awareness of what?  What "level" of awareness would one have to reach to be considered competently aware?  There are just too many things that cannot be quantified or qualified for data processing purposes.  \n\nAnother problem is that everybody thinks they know the truth.  If you talk to almost anybody (at least this is the way it is in the States, I'm not sure if it's like this elsewhere in the world) they think that they know the truth and what's right and everybody else is messed up.  The conservatives think they're aware of what's going on and they've got the answers and that the liberals are "out to lunch."  The liberals, of course, think just the opposite.  It's the same with individuals.\n\nHowever, as a very wise friend of mine pointed out, it depends on what the awareness is of.  For instance, awareness of hunger and suffering in the world is quite a bit different than being aware of traffic before you cross the street.\n\nHope this helps answer your question.\n\nFR

I've heard ignorance is bliss, maybe that has something to do with it.

I have.\n\nA very good book if you are into esoteric history.\n\nIf you are a Freemason, don't read it--for some reason it seems to really upset them.
