In Zen Buddhism, there is a term (Mu), if I remember correctly, which means " I unask your question", or "I deny your right to expect an answer". It's a bit of a mindleap for a British person, but it would apply to this site pretty well, as I wish that most of the questions posted here had never been asked.

jbirdj623 - I was just trying to get people to think about what they were asking, before typing. Know anything about Socrates?

To Common Sense...
Then thank you very much for your response!

Yes. And I wholeheartedly agree that some questions don't deserve a civil response.

Yes i am familiar with that term. However it means that you are asking the wrong question or in the wrong way. I do agree that most of the questions people ask are pointless because they are asking the wrong questions. But asking questions, even wrong ones, can lead to asking the right ones so we should respect each in it's own. And can I ask you what the point of your question was?

this site is both to enjoy and learn, when you are killing time and can't think of a good question, you ask a silly one and hope some would find it funny, some do, not often ......
