Why do people want to ask questions?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

Aside from wanting to get answers, I mean.

1. why do you ask??? n/t

:evilgrin:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

4. I'll wait because I don't want my answer

to undooley influence other people as they ponder the question.

5. The real question my friend is this....

why do people need answers to their questions???

HAHA!!! I said this without being stoned!!! That makes me cool somehow, right??

[A-Schwarzenegger]

6. Well, of course it makes you cool

because that's my very point--that people DO NOT
need answers to their questions. There is something
much more than seeking answers going on when somebody
asks a question?

8. I think I love you

seriously, you're on to something. I don't know how many people will read this thread because it's Saturday night, but you're definitely on to something here. I love this thread.

12. Oh, boy....

Imagine an alien from a planet where nobody
asked any querstions, where there were no questions.
And then they came here and heard all the questions
human beans ask. How would they even ask us what a
question was? Would they even wonder? What a funny
thing a question mark is?

2. What's it to you?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. I wonder.

3. I suspect it's something in the food.

9. "What else can you do for anyone but inspire them?"

[qnr]

7. It itches when you keep them bottled up inside n/t

[A-Schwarzenegger]

10. Yeah. They build steam. They fester.

A deeper question is behind the surface question,
pushing it up.

11. Because My Kitty Won't Answer

Someone's gotta.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

14. Kitties know, but they aint talkin.

[NashVegas]

16. My Kitty Talks All the Time

But all she ever has is questions, too. "When are you going to let me out of this rinky-dink apartment?" "Why can't I go into the closet and satisfy my wool fetish?" That kinda stuff.

15. It is a passive aggressive way of exerting control

Or, it can be a submissive way of saying you have the answers from a person lacking confidence.

Hell, I dunno. Why did you ask this question??

:)

17. They can't help themselves

It's in their nature to stir up shit.
