Asking questions are always easy. Why is this that? Why is that this? What the hell is this? Answering is another thing all together. Can anyone here logically and mathematically explain why 1+1=2? No right? Not without looking it up. At any rate I would do neither for I am lazy.

Well if you want to answer it will always mean you'll be waiting on someone else to ask the question. I hate waiting on people, so I'll ask the questions. Questioning someone learns you a lot more about them than just responding to things they say. If you want to really learn then take the initiative. Like the great philosopher Socrates said “An unexamined life is not worth living”. You can have hundreds of ways to ask a question to something that may only have one answer. True intellect is not to answer questions but to question answers.

Ha! Great response!! You finally got me and the whole idea of this perverse thread : P And I do like your way of thinking :) Sounds like we agree with each other. ^^

You only learn by asking questions. So, I'd rather ask than answer.

I was trying to find a good way to answer spirit's question but Koopaking gave the answer I wanted to give, only in a much better way! Well, even if I am answering spirit's question right now, I prefer questioning more for all the above reasons people stated!

Yes spirit the idea was yours and your opinion was the same as Koopaking's but you stated it first. So yeah, he/she said the same thing you said. Satisfied now?
