Do you believe that most questions are just statements in disguise?

I think you believe it. I think it's based on the question in question, and the person asking it.

Is this a trick question?

i wouldnt say all guys give satirical questions...but most of the times when someone pulls a joke or even an attempt at satire when faced with a question, its usually because they dont want to answer it because they may sound stupid or because they dont want to reveal something...

In the Politics and Government section, most of the questions are thinly-veiled rhetoric, masquerading as a legitimate "question".\n\nHave you ever watched a press conference from the White House?  Half the "questions" posed to the President are blatant posturing.  They don't qualify as questions because the question itself is worded in such a way as to imply an answer.  It would be like asking, "Do you think that pregnant female prisoners should be allowed to give birth before being executed?"\n\nOh wait..... that was a REAL question, and Al Gore said he'd have to think about it further.

Because you might question your answers.

What's the question? This sounds more like a statement.

Aha! but there is another wise saying: "he who asks a question may be a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever".  Surely this is the whole philosophy behind Yahoo Answers!

From what I've seen, it depends on the categories you are looking at. For examply, I focus a lot on the health categories, and those are probably 90% legitimate questions. Other categories, it seems like 90% is silliness....

Indeed. A great many "why" questions are more rhetorical than inquisitive. For the most part they have a pre set conclusion they want to lead you too. If has been an effective yet overused tatic. It does make for some great debates though.

Of course!  Is this a trick question?

Its just things are. Many questions are really difficult to answer even the answer seems logical but it aint correct.

It's quite possible that ppl want to interpret certain questions in a certain way (preconception). Probably, the best way to interpret a question is in a way that it can be answered. Perhaps, I'm doing exactly that by answering the question. ;-)

I always think that asking questions opens the cracks that are in our own faiths and beliefs. Its like going through Microsoft Word with Spell-Checker. You find lots of mistakes and you feel bad. But at the end, you feel better because the end product is polished and structurly sound. Its the same with asking questions that challenge us.
