ScotlandYard_Dick is a fucking moron. why anyone would stick their unwrapped dick in some skanky whore is beyond me. i could have easily done without his sorry ass.

Maybe it's the stupidest answers that we should focus on.

As we near the end of Stupid Question Week on the TER General Discussion Board, let's look at the front runners for the stupidest question of the week award. It has been an exciting competition, and I think it will go down to the wire. And remember, there is still time to get your stupid question posted and into consideration for the grand prize!

For pure, openhearted, please kick me self-abuse, Lungman's "what did I do wrong" deserves consideration, but since this forum is not about self-abuse and the prize is for stupidity not self-abuse, I doubt it can be considered for the top spot.

In the same vein, real_man seems to recognize he is asking questions that are open to some mockery when wanting to know more about free porn, why be should pay if it is free, and how he can meet some of those ladies. Though the topic is again self-abuse, does this one qualify just because his right hand was smart enough to google free porn, but then he seems to have gotten so busy that he could not google the answers to his other questions? Hey, buddy, these girls market their appearances, and some post here about their escort services - it ain't hard, or is it?

In the category of insulting and ignorant, we have a number of very strong contenders -

Numbnuts' (it is a great name) query about escorts offering the same thing as streetwalkers (which, for our avid readers, we have earlier been informed are a disappearing breed, another great American tradition wiped out by the Internet) begs any number of follow up questions, but I will settle for one - numbnuts, what do you think the difference is between the offerings of an escort and street walker? No insult meant ladies, I just want to know what nn is thinking. Sure, there are different classes, if that is the right word, of escorts, but they all can call themselves escorts.

TGOM's question about the average salary of a provider seems a bit of an intrusion on the semi-privacy of our fairer members, and begs the question, what is the average net worth of a hobbyist. Or did someone ask that and I missed it?

BrainsareSexy's fantasy - what would happen if the hobby disappeared tomorrow strikes me as too stupid to win, though lots of replies over thought this. It is obvious, guys and girls - this only happens if we are all neutered, so the human race would become extinct.

While not strictly a question, PanAmLong's sad story of how when he posted something nasty about someone in a public forum they objected and even retaliated by saying bad things about him should qualify for the Homer Simpson "doh" honorable mention. And now please join me in a brief kumbaya moment - why can't we all just get along?

But the clear leader in my book is ScotlandYard - who posted the question "Why is it any of your business??" about liking unprotected sex. SY, the answer is because you waved it in front of our faces. Keep it on the lowdown, and it would not be our business. (Please note my restraint in only making one pun here, when so many others presented themselves).

So those are my favorites, what do you think?

My favorite answers:

"If a person is serious there is NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID QUESTION!  There are many reasons why a person may ask what you consider a stupid question. The person may be shy and trying to make small talk. Some people just get nervous talking one-to-one with another person. Then there are some people who just don't think before they open their mouths. It's always wise to grit your teeth and be pleasant. You never know why the person asked what you consider a stupid question in the first place. Also, the former poster gave a good answer in stating, that just because you feel it's a stupid question, it may well not be.

For example, if you bumped into a scientist and he/she was talking about their work and you had a question or two, how would you like it if they considered your question stupid and not of importance? We generally ask questions to learn and if we feared asking stupid questions we might not learn as much."

AND

"There is no such thing as a stupid question. It's a matter of perception. If you take the time to use some critical thinking skills, you will most always find the honest inquiry. While some things may appear basic and common sense to one, they may not be to another. We need to embrace each other, help each other, and build each other up as you would want people to do for you..."

My answer:

Everyone can't be the big toe. Most of us have to be little toes, with little ideas and little ways of expressing ourselves. Some of us grow up into big toes, but most of us just hang out on the foot. I like hanging out with the other little toes. We are all so lovable and sweet. LOL

The stupidest question of the week was,the one just posted here!!!
Excuse me,i have to go cut myself!!!!

You always have the best answers! How sweet!!

I am sure that it won't surprise you that you are definitely in the running.

I am going to chalk this week up to the board getting a case of the "stupids" all at the same time. lol

If you prefer the company of a hobbyist full of stupid questions, I am sure it could be arranged. lol

It's great in grade school to help protect the developing self-image of children in the hostile environment of peer ridicule. But once you reach 25 and your brain has fully developed this is how it is:

There ARE stupid questions!

There ARE stupid people!

Stupidity should be embarrasing to it owner, and should not be never be rewarded.

I'm talking stupid not ignorant.

Likewise, I'm not refering to the unfortunate circumstances of someone having a cognitive disability or biological imparment of some time.

I'm talking about being plain stupid when you are capable of not being stupid. i.e. dumbed-down, slack-witted mentally lazy.

P.S. ...

"For example, if you bumped into a scientist and he/she was talking about their work and you had a question or two, how would you like it if... "

...that is an example of ignorance, not stupidity.
If the scientist condidered it stupid and he was prejorative in his handling of the question, he would demonstrate emotional immaturity and arrogance at best and possible a personality disorder. The saker of the question would have no reason to take it persoanal and "feel" stupid, unless they themselves are poorly adjusted by having a greater sense of the scientist's (imagined) value over their own.

I AGREE TOTALLY that "Seek first to understand" and "Say all things in kindness" are the highest virtues in inter-personal communications, because we all different and all flawed.

Yes, my momma would say sometimes I'm a smartass

Well now, I do have to agree with "Stupidity should be embarrasing to it owner, and should not be never be rewarded."

There are no stupid questions, unless they are meant to be stupid, as in "Did you just fart, or is that a skunk in your pocket?" or "Who weighs 6000 pounds and wears glass slippers?" or "How do you tell if there are two elephants in your refrigerator?"

Patience with people who do not know they are asking stupid questions should always be rewarded. Impatient people = rude people, in my book.
