Wanna play a question game?
 
How long do you think you can survive in a conversation where you are only allowed to ask questions in order to communicate with the other people who are involved in the conversation? ;)

MissChic 09-19-2010 10:25 PM

What is the topic of conversation?

Weena 09-19-2010 10:40 PM

Didn't you understand the OP?

What do you think is the benefit of limiting ourselves to questions?

What can we learn by asking question only?

Firefly55555 09-19-2010 11:49 PM

Is it an experiment? Who doesn't allow us answering the questions?

PraetorianX 09-20-2010 12:36 AM

Don't you think asking questions is a good source to learn things?

Do you really think someone might actually learn something if they never get any answers?

Medea33 09-20-2010 02:03 AM

Does asking question after question automatically come off as hostility?

How long do you think this thread would last?

Solipsist 09-20-2010 02:55 AM

How long are you going to participate in it, mindset, with the avatar that you currently have?

:D

Isn't part of the answer hidden within the question itself?

What do you think asking that question says about you?

How much do we care about answers, anyway?

Do you not think that asking more questions and making fewer statements is a skill that everyone can benefit from as they learn the arts of persuasion? ;)

Don't you think that there might be a slight chance that people actually know all the things that they think they don't know and that asking the right questions might simply bring that knowledge to the surface within their own minds while at the same time making them feel as though they have figured it all out completely by themselves? :)

Are you assuming that my asking you what you think are the benefits of asking questions means that I don't think there are any benefits of asking questions?

PraetorianX 09-20-2010 02:42 PM

Does the benefit of asking if there are benefits about the benefits really benefit anyone?
