I hate stupid people who make stupid posts about such stupid matters.

I swear, it's hopeless arguing with you people. You keep twisting my words and making weird stuff out of it.


No...those aren't stupid questions. A stupid question is a question where you already know (or should know) the answer to. If when you first meet a person and they ask something like what your favorite color is, how is that regarded as a stupid question? I was not even talking about that. A stupid question would be someone constantly asking what your favorite color is, day after day after day...Or if you're standing at the vending machine, someone (...with normal sight and hearing, not doing anything like sifting through change at the time..for those who like to be difficult) asks you how much a coke is and it's right in front of their face. Asking questions when you know nothing about them...those aren't stupid questions.


Again....what I said above. No where did I say introducing yourself by telling your interests/hobbies/favorites (or asking them for that matter) was stupid. You didn't give a better example of my convo, you just twisted it to mean something totally different at a totally different time.
I don't believe I said you called me shallow, but the fact that you mentioned things such as, "think about how your parent's feel" or whatever you said, leads me to think that you think I'm a shallow person for looking at this situation one-sided-ly. If that's not shallow, then refresh me on what "shallow" means.

Oh really? I hate people who make stupid posts, responding to people who they think is stupid who posts about matters I think are stupid. Idiot. Don't say anything if you can't contribute.

I happen to agree with this phrase there is no such thing as a stupid question. In my opinion every question was asked to find out an answer. When you ask a question and you know the answer or just want to be dumb that is a statement you said because you want attention. Thats just my two cents.

And I suppose I take your two cents because you just made me want to rewrite my first post.

Milk, I agree with you, this topic has become way too emotional, I must now back out of my emotion and resume my normal emotional status.

Another thing I agree with you about...please posters write more than a couple words when posting, please contribute to the forums better.

I'll have to defend Milk here. Dudes, don't get so worked up over a little rant like this. Milk just has a beef with stupid questions that people know the answer to. There's nothing wrong with that. I have a problem with them too sometimes.

Of course we all utter out a stupid question once in a while, but once a person starts asking questions that they know the answers to redundantly, it starts to get under your skin if you know what I mean.
But, if there's a kid in my class that asks the teacher a stupid question, I'll laugh at it.

Well, that's my take. Take it for what it's worth.

I admit that I'm guilty.

Whenever I've been hanging out with someone for a few hours and there's suddenly a big awkward pause, i usually end up saying "so.... how are you?"

and then i kick myself because I KNOW that i've been hanging out with them for the past 3 hours.

yes, venting about myself...

^ haha, well that was purposely. Everyone does that. I mean, what else are you going to say? If it's a boring day, there are very few interesting topics. It's the people who ask questions repeatedly, on purpose that really...grrr...

I really like this reply, right on. If we ask a question with the clear intent of finding the answer and seeking truth it can't be stupid since the very seeking of truth is in itself a worthy cause, and a wise one. I think this is essentially something warrior is getting at. Even if someone with a low IQ asks a question obvious to others it would be debatable whether it is actually a stupid question since it is asked with a wise spirit of knowing truth.

Essentially saying something or someone is "stupid" is subjective and the one clear guideline of determining a question's stupidity lies in the spirit with which it is asked. To ask something knowing the answer is stupid or foolish and asking something to genuinely truth is wise. The question lies in how we know whether the asker of the question knew the answer already or was really seeking truth.

I think I essentially just expounded a bit on what Warrior said and made it a bit more wordy
