A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing?



I do because if someone has a little information on something they can sometimes believe they know all that is needed to know on the subject and believe they know the solution. I have seen this in particular today and wanted to get all your views on it.

In this phrase, I don't interpret "dangerous" in a negative sense. Gandhi, for instance, was both a very wise, and thus very dangerous man.

In my view, it depends on how that person uses the knowledge given them. It's not the fact that you just have it, but it's how you use it.

exactly and many people nowadays listen to the news here something and spout it off and no matter what you say they wont listen. Also i have found people give the little advice they know about a subject and it brings someone to harm because as they insisted they knew what they were talking about they only KNEW very little
