Question: Is there really no such thing as a stupid question!?
Let's assume that there really is no such thing as a stupid question!.

Wouldn't asking "Is there such thing as a stupid question!?" be asking a stupid question!?

Did I just ask a stupid question, or am I on to something!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Assuming there is no such thing as a stupid question!. Then asking if there is such a thing as a stupid question is circular logic! You are on something!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

No honest stupid questions only stupid answers!. You cannot fault someone for 'knowing that they don't know' and asking to a question so that they will know!. That should always be commended, but often ridiculed!. What is common sense to some may not have been exposed to other's scope of knowing!. You can't blame the ignorant for ignorance, they don't know what they don't know!. Notice that questions with no intentions of seriousness are called rhetorical or nonsensical, which can be labeled stupid at times!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think all answers are neutral, it depends on what people make of them, the kind of reaction they make of it, and then they decide for themselves whether it is a stupid, smart, eerie, dumb question, etc!. I think everything is neutral in the world, we decide what is what based on our perception of the world, my opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Debatable, but asking repetitive questions without caring about the answers seemingly for the sake of asking questions or attention give people a positive belief that there are!. If we stop and think for a second before we ask questions, the answer will be unanimous!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. There are!. Those are the questions that only stupid people would formulate to begin with!.

There are stupid answers!. There are stupid people!. But there are stupid questions, too!. Because some questions dont/shoudlnt need to be asked as the answer should already be knownWww@QuestionHome@Com

No because you are just asking something you don't know which is the point of asking a question so if you are assuming that there are no stupid questions then thats not a stupid question either!.
Besides there are no stupid questions, only stupid people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

When asking a question, it means you don't know or you are unsure of the answer!. Anything else could be stated like a question, but your not asking, because you are not looking for a new answer or certification!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Example of a stupid question:

"What if I trip into the toilet and drown!?"

I mean, seriously, how likely is that!? "What if" questions are such a waste of time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you assume there are no stupid questions, then there are no stupid questions!.

The problem isn't the questions, it having the patience to answer them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if there are no such thing as a stupid question in a stupid society; in a smart society there would be no such thing as a smart question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are no "stupid questions" only stupid askers who do not phrase them properly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
