    being idealistic can be a good thing....being naive is dangerous.

    I don't think so, being naive gets people into a lot of trouble.

    I voted I'm not sure, but the actual answer is yes AND no. being naive can help you avoid problems in some instances, just because you don't notice that there is a problem. then again in other situations, ignorance can get you into quite a pickle.

    I also voted "not sure". There is an innocence and sweetness about being naive. But, when one is naive the person can be manipulated, used and screwed over in a variety of manners.

    When you lose that naivety, you see life and the cruel hard world the way it actually functions.:mad:

    not only no but hell no. more of what is screwed up is out of collective ignorance creating a market for it, then any sort of mallicous intent, individual or otherwise.

    depends on what you mean by nievite though.

    No... it is not a good thing. But the problem is many people mistake Kindness for Weakness and then when you are in their face they can't figure out why you are so upset. LOL
    If you can see the good in everyone-you have not met everyone.

    People who are naive don't have enough curiosity.Kinda falls into the catagory of "ignorance is bliss."Which is pleasant enough,I suppose,unless a piano is about to land on your cranium.
