@perspicacious But that’s different – because he is giving an opinion – and it doesn’t hurt anyone.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, by definition, causes pain, anguish, hurt – distaster.
If you ask in fluther “Oh what should I do – am I bi-polar” – and someone who has googled the subject suggests to take Lithium and the exact amounts without going to see a Psychiatrist – that would be a dangerous thing.
N’est ce pas?
Edit: @cruiser and reverie and persp (edited, forgive the misspeling, if any) – I don’t think you can “disagree” with a saying or proverb.
I understand what you mean, @reverie, but the idea of the proverb, and of my question, is when and where have you encountered something dangerous happening as a result of a little knowledge – not a chance to “get back at me” about politics.
Politics, as a matter of fact, is a really bad example. We, in democracies, elect our officials who then represent us. By discussing things in a forum, we learn about other persepctives and thoughts. How is that dangerous?
By the way, those of you who still haven’t gotten it: I’m in Israel. I actually live the things I talk about. Am I biased? Sure. Is this dangerous to me or someone? I don’t think that has anything to do with the old proverb.
