Society is always looking for a rule that will match all occasions. The other day in this forum someone asked about when it was proper to give up their seat on a bus, and all the people responded about etiquette and rules of behavior. But in the end none of them were right. This is because there is change happening all around us and each individual is unique, no rule, no law, no technique, no method -- can ever last in such a dynamic evolving varied world. The way to approach this issue on how to behave or respond is to be true to yourself and learn to become more sensitive and knowledgable about yourself and others. This mostly has to do with gaining self-knowledge and this comes about with daily practise along the lines of meditation, transpersonal psychology (journaling, self-questioning, contemplation), yoga, tai-chi, qigong, nature walks, etc. By practising these spiritual aspects daily, one will become more sensitive.
In the end you have to be true to yourself and not hold back, even if it happens that you make a mistake. But if you are working along the lines of getting to know who you are, then you will see each mistake as something creative, something you can look at and learn about yourself from. We don't want to see that we are not perfect or that we don't know everything, but this is the truth and it goes back to the same thing -- the world and everything in it is changing all around us. Then we realize that spirit can't fit into any preconceived mold, better that we learn how to keep dropping and letting go of old worn out aspects of ourselfs and respond to what is happening now in the moment. Then we are moving towards 'going with the flow' and being part of the whole.

Reasonable means : intelligent, judicious, wise, equitable.
A reasonable question warrants a reasonable answer which is intelligent, fair, and wise.
It is a reasonable question to ask, "how many dogs do you own?" However, if you ask it on YA, there is no reasonable way to choose the best answer, so that makes it unreasonable because it is not in accord with practicality.
No questions are ever wrong, but in some contexts they are not fair. Requesting someone to do something in the form of a question like, "Will you please jump off the Empire State Bldg. for me ?", is an unfair request in question form.
Asking a question which is meaningless, just for the sake of asking a question, is not intelligent. It is considered 'silly'.
Your question is good and I appreciate the sincerity in which it was asked. Good Luck !

Anything goes here. I just don't appreciate questions which appear reasonable then, once i get there, I find some some general accusation, derogatory or insulting comments about a particular race, culture, or belief. No one group can control or be responsible for the behavior or actions of every single person who is associated with that group so why aim the accusations at the whole for the action of the few? At least acknowledge that it is not everyone by saying "some" or "few."
For example:
Why is it, in the religious questions, there tends to be more thumbs down than thumbs up?
I thought religious people were meant to "love others..."
tsk tsk!
Implies that all thumbs down are done ONLY by the religious people and by ALL religious people. tsk tsk indeed!

Statements, or should I say opinions posing as Questions-unreasonable. Derisive? Unreasonable. Disconnect?-Unreasonable. If it seems absurd or if you get confused, it's "unreasonable" to you, but I have found some of these to be the most interesting to answer. Go fig.
My reasonable isn't your reasonable. (Not meant personally, of course.) Same as unreasonable.

Lets say you're in a store. And you see the clerk. An example of a reasonable question is
Excuse me, how much does this item cost?
An example of an unreasonable question is
What did you have for breakfast today?

Ehhh, Reasonable questions are logical and rational, while unreasonable is illogical.
