How much money do you earn?
Are you pregnant?
How many months are you?
Are you gay?
Was that you? (rotten egg smell)
Are you sleeping with him/her?
When are you getting married?
When are you going to have a baby?
How old are you?
How often do you ___________?
How often do you and your spouse ____________?
What positions do you use?
Just use common sense. A general rule is if you hesitate before you ask, you should not ask.

There is no such thing as a stupid question. However, that does not mean that every question should be asked. Of course, there are questions not to ask. It depends on your audience and just basic courtesy. You generally don't ask people questions that are none of your business or simply offensive (How much did you pay for this house? How much money do you have in your 401K? What do you and your wife do in bed? Is that kid really yours? Is your son still doing crystal meth?)

depending on the situation, yes there are. example, on a first date you should never ask about what kind of freaking things the other person likes to do in bed. at a funeral you should not ask who the person was again. at a wedding you should not ask the groom in front of the bride if he has seen how beautiful his ex looks after she had the plastic surgery done.

YES...I am actually getting damn sick of reading questions that start with :
WHY DO ALL THE BRITTISH.... ?
WHY DO ALL THE AMERICANS...?
WHY DO ALL THE IRAQIS....?
blah blah blah
Good gawd people stop thinking that everyone from a certain country all think and feel the same way ! WE DON"T !!
Grow up ! and lay off the "stupid" pills !

I think pointedly asking someone about their income, religious or political beliefs or sexual orientation should be pretty much avoided at all costs in polite conversation (i.e, with business associates, casual acquaintances, at a dinner party, etc.).

The only stupid question is the one that you don't ask.
A gentleman will never ask a lady her age.
Hope this helps.

There's a boatload of questions that should not be asked and are still posted daily.

Plenty. It depends on the time, place and the way you ask it.

Yes , depending on whom you are asking and how familiar you are with them.
