Ya, I know what you mean, in fact research is my hobby. I'm all the time reading up on something. and I want to how how to fix things and to make things on my own to save money. I'm also learning a lot about natural remedies and some a nature's plants that's good for eating (but normally not sold in grocery stores) and healing plants.
I believe that you can never have too much knowledge :-)

Personally, I think that it can be dangerous to have little knowledge. If that's the case, others might constantly prove you wrong, or take advantage of this person, or something like that. I've always been curious, and interested in learning. Any time I have a question about something or other, I just go online to find out, or go ask someone who might have the answer. It's just my first instinct to go find out more about something, whether I have a question about that subject or not. I love learning more about things. I think that it's better that way.

Yes, not only that but it can cause us to victimize others. We tend to fear what we don't understand and we tend to feel malice for that which we fear. As you said we can be easily fooled without sufficient knowledge and therefore we can be easily influenced to fear certain things or particular people. Absence of knowledge causes wars, hate, separation of the people, and suppression of things which could benefit us greatly. Yes, little knowledge most certainly is a dangerous thing.

A little knowledge can in fact be potentially a dangerous thing to say the very least. In fact there are many times where knowledge is good but the ability to understand that there are limits to our own knowledge that is the deciding factor of how well we do in the world. We can have all of this knowledge but there is just a rather interesting time where we really did not know it all. Therefore we are going to know when to step back and keep our mouth show.
However in the end, a very little bit of knowledge can be an extremely dangerous thing to say the least. Mostly because there are a lot of people who are going to really get themselves in trouble by really thinking that they really do know rather more than they really are. Therefore we need to know enough to get by, but don't think that you know much more than you really know. That is my impression of things in the world today.

Education is a life-long process, everyday we learn new things by various means. Experience is a great teacher and when we recognize and admit our mistakes, we learn from it as well, especially when we make an effort to correct it. We are all created equal, with the same tools to cultivate our lives. Let's use these tools (our intellect and free will) to make the right moves. No one has to right to judge anyone nor try to fool anyone. Life is not a contest, each of us have our own goals to reach in the best possible way

very true, little knowledge is dangerous, a big future danger threat
any examples?
here is an examples:
little knowledge and negligence to the gas in the oven if leaked and something sparks came from matches, faulty short electrical electrical wirings or etc.. will trigger an explosion more powerful than a 3 combined grenades.....
since they say, the most dangerous place is your home, and inside your house the most dangerous area is the kitchen....
little knowledge to the road safety is a big threat passers-by and the drivers or commuters... collisions, sideswipes...
ignorance to the court of law is not excusable, it is also important to know it....
