10 POINTS!... What is a "good question"?

Question

I'm looking for "safe" questions that lead to interesting/fun debate for people of all ages & experience.

A "safe" question is: NOT political or religious.

Answer 1

If you were your parents what would you do differently?

Answer 2

If you can think of a subject that gets people to think about something out of the ordinary, or maybe find amusing, or even a little incendiary, that, in my opinion is a goog question. It certainly doesnt have to be gross or unpleasant, or offensive ( though i am not bothered by those kind of questions, personaly) I will just answer those in kind. but there is enough politics and religion on the news already, To me this should be a fun alternative to the daily drama of our lives. a respute from the daily doldrums, but mostly just fun and relaxing! and sometimes, we just need to ask about somethig we dont know, or want some opinion on, and thats one thing that everybody has, In fact im gonna ask that one right now! watch me go.... here goes!

Answer 3

I've had the opportunity to read and answer a lot of questions, and it seems to me that the best questions are the challenging ones.

Questions that wonder how we'll keep solid public education available to inner city kids, where the next level of hybrid autos will come from, or how NASA figures the exact number of seconds to fire booster rockets are good questions.

Questions that ask if you like Britany Spears, or if you like my avitar, or if you can tell me what color I should dye my hair are not good questions.

Yours, by the way, is an EXCELLENT question! I look forward to more questions from you.

Answer 4

Think of something sincere. You want to know, then ask. I'm sure there will be some people out there that will have different clashing ideas. And trust me, politics and religion is way too easy to get into a debate.

Oh, and I'd try the term "PDA" (personal display of affection eg kissing in public). Good? Bad? Neutral?

You're bound to get something going.

Answer 5

Is it possible to study too much?

How many hours a year should every able-bodied adult spend volunteering in their community?

Who has the most responsibly in assuring students receive a solid education, the teachers, the parents or the students themselves?

What priority do friends deserve? That is, what or when is something more important than your friends?

How have music lyrics changed over the past 60 years?

Answer 6

Any question that can give you information that will be helpful to you.
Anything you have always been curios about, but never found anyone to get you an answer that either resolved the question, or at least was satisfying to you.
Stay away from frivolous ones that tell everyone you don't really have a question, but just want to fake it.

Answer 7

Q: "How long does it take for an elephant to kick a hole through a dill pickel at the corner of State & Madison in Chicago on a summers day?"

A: "The same amount of time it would take for a woodchuck to chuck wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood."

Answer 8

The only bad questions are the ones that are not asked. If you need to know something anything in the world just ask it because someones got an answer for it!!!
