Is it Ok to give idiot answers to idiot questions?

When someone ask a question that is really ignorant or stupid do you read it and just fly by or take the time to give an idiot answer?

    Yes, I would. It would give me an extra 2 points. Sometimes I encounter a joke question, I also reply. When I encounter a serious one, I also reply. But I never reply with short answers. Minimum 1 full sentence answer, that's my standard.

    I read then give make the idiot feel like an idiot (or ashamed) if you understand. >> they might just listen to what i'm saying/ typing. >< But if they choose not to let them be an idiot. For example, this dumb question i saw "Should you recycle condums?" O.o i swear common sense can answer that for you. WHY THE HECK WILL YOU USE THE SAY ONE???!?!!!?!....yes, it seems dumb to me that is..so what do i do say "no". Now for ignorant question I just leave it alone, because I'm not going to answer or waste my own personal thought or knowledge to an ignorant person. >< But then again i would put my own thoughts anyways hoping that they might actually listen.

    I agree that it quite is incorrect for the mother and dad to prohibit you from their residing house, yet it truly is how some mom and dad are. it quite is not unique to LDS (Mormon) mom and dad. My little ones have had mom and dad ban them from their residing house because of the fact they are LDS and that they worry my little ones will impression their little ones. At your age it is common to have an attitude which you would be accepted no matter what, yet mom and dad do no longer reason that way. certainly particularly various human beings do no longer reason that way. it truly is why there are books, seminars and different self-help courses on a thank you to make a competent first effect or a thank you to advance your image. of course there is something approximately you that has them stressful. From the furnish help to've given, my wager is that it quite is because of the smoking extra effective than something, nevertheless it does not harm to no longer positioned on tank tops at their residing house. whether you do no longer smoke around their little ones, the mother and dad could probably scent the cigarette smoke on you and as you're probably experiencing, smoking is a severe habit and is particularly confusing to stop. it is likewise truly uncomplicated for youths to purpose to get different little ones to connect them. How did you start up smoking? Did a buddy invite or stress you to purpose a cigarette? quite, if I knew that a buddy of my newborn smoked, the only time they could be around my newborn could be at my residing house the place i'm able to supervise. i understand too many adults who've desperately tried kicking the habit no longer as quickly as, yet many circumstances. i will do something to restriction my teen's exposure to cigarettes. something else to contemplate is your attitude. you look like a confrontational variety of guy or woman. perhaps you're coming off as damaging in direction of them. attempt being open and friendly around the mother and dad. we've had studies with a number of our youngster's pals who come to our residing house and look sullen and unfriendly to us and then we hit upon out that they instructed our little ones that they think of we do in comparison to them. i think of they got here to our residing house with a preconceived concept that we are going to choose them. LDS mom
