What is the purpose of asking a Question?
Are Questions able to be factually answerable? Or are they ok to be opinion based answers? Is this intended to be another forum that invoke discussions and debate? What are the appropriate types of questions to ask here?

1. Yes, it all depends on the question.
2. I feel everything on the internet will invoke discussions and debates, no matter where it is.
3.To find what the appropriate types of questions are you can read the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines.

I think you could ask anything.. Some questions (like the one you just asked) would require an oppinion based answer, while other, factual questions could get a factual answer.
