Stupid questions.....

Featured Replies

Well,do stupid questions exist?I think yes................don't know why but I think yes.............

 

Whenever in school or somwhere you say "Ok this is a stupid question now...."..the teacher or other person usually answers:

"Stupid questions don't exist!"................I'm not sure-------

hmm, difficult question.. I think it depends on situation. Different situations may make questions sound stupid, although they wouldn't be.

As matter of fact i first didn't want to read this thread, because i thought you're just asking some stupid questions.. Sorry about that :P

hahah.......well.....after I created the thread I realised that I've chosen a unlucky title for it!Nobody will read it!

Well.. i did, so i think others will also read it. Or atleast we can hope so :D

It seems as if the others didn't read it.......unfortunately i can't change the title!

My 9th grade teacher started the class on the first day of the year with the statement "there is no such thing as a stupid question". It was a very bad idea. I think it took her about a week to seriously regret it. The guys in the class made it their mission in life to prove that stupid questions do in fact exist. The poor woman switched schools the next year.

 

That said, all too often people are afraid that they're going to ask a stupid question and so they don't, and it turns out that it was actually something really important.

if you ask a question you already know the answer to or ask a question that you could have figured out if you thought for .014515 seconds then you asked a stupid question.

how old is our galaxy ?

or if you ask a question that you know is impossible to answer then yes, you've asked a stupid question hehe

if you ask a question you already know the answer to or ask a question that you could have figured out if you thought for .014515 seconds then you asked a stupid question.

 

you googled it? :wacky:

what? :bigcry: that was a stupid question! :cry: I'm not going to answer

what? :bigcry: that was a stupid question! :cry: I'm not going to answer

 

thebestyoucan't :disappointed:

there is a person in pretty much all of my classes who asks stupid questions, but even though it really makes me dislike that person is almost always slows down the teacher and I actually learn easier...

thebestyoucan't :disappointed:

ok, fine :P I didn't google it, but if I did it would have taken .001535464645 seconds

ok' date=' fine :P I didn't google it, but if I did it would have taken .001535464645 seconds[/quote']

 

x=y? :shifty:

 

No surprises... :disappointed: i might be wrong :sick: i'm not that optimistic as you :uneasy: but how can you be sure? :thinking: you just let me down! :wideeyed:

you're let down and hangin around. .. crushed like a bug in the ground... this is what you get when you mess with us...

please could you stop the noise,i'm trying to get some rest :thinking:

"the only stupid question is one which you don't ask"

 

Someone said that once, probably.

 

 

In my opinion, it's a stupid question if you already know for sure 100% the answer.

Such a pretty house

and such a pretty garden.

 

No alarms and no surprises... please

I dont think that stupid questions exist.Even if you know the answer,and ask,its not a stupid question.Maybe another person will give another answer...

I have some questions. If you don't believe they are stupid questions it is because you are, in fact, stupid.

 

I'm going to begin with a couple of simple questions about things that I, myself know the answers to. If I asked you these questions and you did not consider them stupid questions I would worry about your well being.

 

Example # 1

Who is the lead singer of the Dave Matthews Band?

 

I happen to be a big fan of the Dave Matthews Band (DMB) and after years of knowing them I can safely conclude that Dave Matthews is in fact the lead singer of this DMB. I have seen him in concert on numerous occasions, on the cover of their CDs. Seen lyrics quoted next to his name, also I have seen him singing on television shows and in concerts. Lastly, it also happens to be a fact that his name is in the title of the band he sings in. Note "Dave Matthews Band."

 

Example # 2

Is this example number one?

 

If I took .0141979549 seconds to look up and read that it says "Example # 2" above the question then I would not have needed to ask that question. Therefore, it is considered a 'stupid question.'

 

 

Here I have worked up a few more examples of possible 'stupid questions.' In this case I have used the classroom atmosphere to convey to you how annoying stupid questions can be.

 

teacher: Scientists do not know the exact time when the cretaceous period began.

 

student:

(while the teacher is saying "scientists")

1. What about scientists?

(while the teacher is in mid-sentence)

2. Scientists don't know what?

(after the teacher has completed the sentence)

3. What is the exact time when the cretaceous period began?

4. Do scientists know the exact date and time when it began?

5. Can I use the bathroom?

 

If you do not know if you can physically use the bathroom then you are a lost cause, a waste of air, and there is a good chance you don't actually want to use the bathroom but that you are going to smoke pot. This question is commonly misused and widely accepted as a question which is not stupid when in reality it is. However the child, teenager or young adult who asked this question should not be rebuked for the stupidity of using the word "can" rather than "may." Unless the person doing the rebuking is ready to spend the rest of their life in vain trying to make people do so.

 

In conclusion there are at least 7 different possible stupid questions. So now if you ask "Is there such thing as a stupid question?" that would make it 8.
