Answer a Question with a Question...

[StarSong]

It is. I'd find it easier and more interesting if, instead of needing to answer with a question, the rule was to simply respond to the previous comment while remaining on topic.

So now that I replied to your question, instead of someone adding an opinion to mine, they have to respond to a question that I insert, thus taking the thread off topic before the natural course of conversation would move it along.

Here's the stilted question that'll likely take us off course: Is it just me?

 

[Tish]

I very much doubt that, don't you?

 

[Kaila]

When is a question actually a question?

 

[Tish]

Question me all you want my lips are sealed.

 

[Kaila]

Is that a question, @Tish ?
Or, Does anyone else think it is one?

 

[Patch]

If it isn't one, is it two... three... four... zero?

 

[Sassycakes]

I thought 5 came after four, doesn't it?

 

[Kaila]

Does anyone remember that child's poem, that starts with: One two, Buckle my shoe?

 

[Patch]

Would you, if someone you did not know said "... three four open the door..." would you?

 

[Kaila]

Who would say that? Someone who's name is Three Four?

 

[Tish]

Who is Three Four?

 

[Patch]

Wouldn't someone who is 34 be older than someone 33 and younger than someone 35?

 

[Kaila]

Are you referring to someone in particular?

 

[mike4lorie]

where is this person you are speaking of?

 

[Kaila]

Is there just one, or is it two or three or four, or more?

 

[Tish]

Have you not counted them?

 

[Kaila]

How can we count them, while they keep moving about?

 

[Tish]

Should we move them as we count?

 

[Kaila]

Where should we put them?

 

[Patch]

If you "put" people here and if you "put" people there would it be kidnapping or false imprisonment, I swear????

 

[Tish]

Are you a poet Patch?

 

[Kaila]

Was it people, that we were counting?

 

[Patch]

If we were counting sheep, not people, wouldn't we fall asleep and there would be no one left to play "Games" on SF?

 

[RubyK]

Do you think we would fall asleep if we counted chickens instead?

 

[Kaila]

How long would it take, to count them all?
