Taking blind faith and willful ignorance to a new level
I came across a ridiculous video that I had been shown in grade school on youtube. The interesting thing was not the video however, but the comments. i spent a brief amount of time debating (talking to a brick wall) the guy before I realized that this guy was the epitome of willful ignorance and decided to stop talking to him. I'll let the conversation speak for itself:

RE: Taking blind faith and willful ignorance to a new level
I've had a number of chats like it, but nothing quite so bad as this. I literally felt as though I was talking to a brick wall. After systematically listing evidence, he doesn't even try to discredit it, or say it wasn't true, he simply denied that I had posted anything at all! He was exactly like a kid screaming "la la la I can't hear you!"
