Some people believe that NO questions are stupid questions, but when I ask questions, ppl say that they're stupid questions. Educators say that the only stupid questions are the ones that are not asked.

I agree with educators. B/c if you dont understand something due to ignorance (regardless as to how basic it is) and you dont ask a question to gain knowledge you are only keeping yourself in the same ignorant state you were in before. So that makes you stupid for not asking it.

I looked over the last 20 questions you asked, and didn't find anything wrong there.
Stupid questions I see on Yahoo usually come in one of two flavors.
1) Questions that assume an answer, or are insulting. Example: "Why do Democrats have their head in the sand?" or "Why are people who like Bush so stupid?"
2) Questions that aren't really about information, like "Who here liked Desperate Housewives last night?" or "What kind of music do you listen to?" This is not a chat board, it's an information service.

There are NO stupid questions... just stupid people asking questions :)
Seriously though, if you don't know then you don't know and the only way you are going to learn is by asking questions. So you are not stupid, your questions are not stupid and don't worry about what other people think about you or let them get to you.

I like when people ask real questions here on Yahoo. Here are some of my least favorite ones that I see quite frequently:
"Hey Guys! Do you think my Avatar is hott?"
"Who's more of a s*ut, Britney or Paris?" (or ANYTHING to do with Paris Hilton, ladies, if you hate her so much, quit talking about her!)
"Any girls wanna chat 14/male?"
"Anyone here have MySpace?"
Anyway... this question is not a stupid question!

Any question that you already have the answer to or if you're just asking it to be funny are stupid questions. But if you're genuinly (spelled wrong) wondering something then it's not.
