Question:
If something has no beginning can it have an end?
If something has no end can it have a beginning?
(Clearly the first question is more intriguing...for some reason the second is easier to answer yes to)
Aside Question: Does anyone else find it stupid that Yahoo Answers TAKES AWAY points for asking questions?? I have seen many great questions posed here that deserve to be awarded points not have points taken away. After all, many great philosophers and thinkers are famous for the insightful questions they have asked, not just the ones they have answered.

first question: if something has no beginning, then it doesnt exist. so no, it cant have an ending.
second question: ur right it is easy to answer yes
third question: yes, i agree that its stupid to lose points for asking questions. however i dont think they should award points for asking questions unless yahoo looks at each question indvidually and ranks the question based on the thinking level behind it, but that wont ever happen.

Natural numbers have the beginning i.e "0" but no ends, you ca just keep adding one.

No, because it will be nonexistent. Everything has a beginning and an end.
