Why do some people insist on being ignorant and mean?

Because they are cold hearted and selfish pricks.

get your fucking shit together, quit your bloody whining, suck it up skyppy. im kiddin folks having a giraffe (a laugh) I agree, people these days seem to find it easier to be a pain in the ass as opposed to being agreeable .....hang in the shane

everyone has a coping mech.. some choose to be whiny and over empathetic..
