    Are only stupid questions really the ones that aren't asked?

    Including the above question, I've heard some that would challenge the heck out of this notion. Surely the adage is a nice way of giving an audience permission to not be shy. But what about the one's who aren't shy? So, my question(s), stupid or not, is: what does this question mean? Is it true? Examples, anecdotes and situations are appreciated. Like: are you pregnant? Are you high? Have you had a sex change? What's it like to be bald? etc.

    The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Asking questions is the oldest & most basic form of education. A question may seem stupid to us but the the asker it may be important.


    I'm not talking about the leading questions here that are only seeking to stir some people up.Just the basic ones like "Am I pregnant".

    Yes ROMOS, to ask me that, it really would be a stupid question. LOL

    @ ValR, Fishlet is taking some time away from the forum and deciding if she wants to continue on here in light of recent events. I thought you knew this hence my comment to you the other day.
    mycatsmom

    a stupider question is when they ask " Am I pregnant ? " or " When will I be pregnant ?" or married, or whatever.
    mycatsmom

    what recent events ?

    mycatsmom

    hey, All ceilings that have leaks aren't from leaky pipes. It could be from someone letting the water run over the bathtub, or the toilet overflowing, or some houses have the washer on the 2nd floor, and that could bust

    Are you making my head spin with this question? 


    Do you really want an answer to this question? 


     Am I just plain confused?


    Are all these questions (above)  just stupid questions that WERE asked?

    ROMOS

    You decide!
    lol

    I can't...I can't...please don't make me!!! :)

    YES.  NO.  YES.  NO.   HMM>>> this is a Q for the animals....I shall return...

    ROMOS

    I hope they can make up their minds!
    Some humans are not putting enough thought into the question.
    lol
    doolittle

    So hear is what I was told.
    OWLS feel superior because they are full of knowledge and think most other creature's questions are stupid when asked.

    SANDPIPERS know little but want to learn so they ask questions all of the time and think all unasked questions are stupid.

    MOCKINGBIRDS aren't sure (which makes perfect sense!)

    and the rest...as they say...is for the birds!!!!!!!!!!!!

    No.

    ROMOS

    Can you be more specific, or is that it?
    Ann

    Like how much does an ant weight? How much does the earth weight? Why is the sky blue?
    doolittle

    Ann- some people do not know the weight of an ant, how much the Earth weighs, and why the sky is blue

    Well stated ROMOS, but I subdued her in the end, no pun intended.


    Holy s--t I just remembered "she" had young ones with "her" and it is the male Emu that rears the young. No wonder "she" fought so hard, oh well too late now.


    Doolittle y our "ps" was very well thought out and, in the circumstances most appropriate.


    I used to talk to our chooks when we had them so they were f"OWLS" is that the same?

    doolittle

    If you and the chooks spoke to one another and you understood one another then yes. Owls have an interesting accent but they are fluent in many bird languages..so simply speak chook to the next owl you see! I will help you!! Just give me a call! :)
    PEOPLELOVER

    The chooks and I had a lot of very interesting conversations and I learned a lot from their superior knowledge of the world as they see it.

    First off ROMOS let me enlighten you oh! fool of the Roys`.


    The quote ORIGINALlY was "There is no such thing as a stupid question?"


    The inference being the question is not stupid to the one asking it. This site excluded.


    DOOLITTLE! Owls as you should know are not wise they are among the dumbest.


    Their alleged "Wise old Owl" derives from their being the bird of the Greek Godess of wisdom so people associate the owl with wisdom.


    The smartest bird/s is/are the one/s that went out with me in my youth.

    ROMOS

    Or the big bast*** that ruined your moleskins!!
    lol

    doolittle

    PL- so sorry you cannot communicate with owls. P.S. you are acting like an owl!

    This is a place to enjoy.  Relax dude.   There is nobody here who is stupid.   What seems to be a stupid answer is usually meant to be entertaining.  I can't say the same for some questions though.  Stupid is as stupid does,  from the lips of a famous dingbat.    NOW THATS FUNNY !

    Questions aren't stupid. One might wonder about the persons asking those obvious, rhetorical, or redundant questions, however. 

    no , Rome, We have plenty of stupid questions that are asked and aren't asked- - - - -you get the 401 when you try to look at the answer.

    ROMOS

    Or 404 mcm.
