Hi,
There are, indeed, many stupid questions -- not that his was one.
Also, 'ignorant' is not 'stupid'. And a question not asked in ignorance is not really a question. At best, it is rhetorical. More often, it is a cry for attention.
But, the philosophy forum is next door. This is debate, rant, and abuse. :whistling:

Quote:There are no stupid questions.Actually, that should read, "There's no such thing as a dumb question." and is a pun on the two meanings of 'dumb' -- 'mute' and 'stupid'. Obviously, a question that is not asked (i.e., remains mute) does not exist.
