Is there such thing as a stupid question?

I say there are stupid questions. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't ask them.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Take it from someone who teaches 10-year-olds: yes, there are stupid questions, and once they start, they are legion.

    No unless you already know the answer to it.

      Is a rhetorical question a stupid question then?

        Because of its intention, I’d say no, it is not a stupid question.

          But it can be a stupid statement, right?

    People who repeatedly ask questions that they know cannot actually be answered... are asking stupid questions.

    A constant series of "Why" is a common sequence. Usually all that is known can be answered in the first several steps of using "why?"

    In theory, no. But the internet has changed that.

      What a stupid comment! Are you going to explain why it's a stupid question?

        Is a comment about an alleged stupid comment on an alleged stupid question itself a stupid comment?
