Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think this question what brought up long time ago!.

Anyway here it is the information:

I don't know, and I don't care!

Ignorance = I don't know
Apathy = I don't careWww@QuestionHome@Com

Ignorance!.

edit - I should say willful ignorance!. Apathy depends on the subject at hand!. For example I am apathetic towards the state of the leaf falling into a nearby pond!. Apathy towards more grand things could very well be worse!.As I see from experience though, apathy can be more readily fixed than ignorance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Apathy is the lack of caring, ignorance is lack of training!. I'd rather live in a society that is apathetic, by choice, then ignorant where no body knows any better!.

To alter your question a tad, Wouldn't you rather have an apathetic Dr if you were hurt over an ignorant one!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Isn't apathy worse because you actively choose not to care, whereas ignorance is a condition, albeit one that can be remedied, and not a choice!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ignorance is not knowing apathy is not caring!. So the only answer to this question is apathy, because if you know but still don't care your a jerk!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Apathy!. Ignorance is not always your fault!. Apathy is your negative choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
