I was taught that a good writer (when not asking a question) should use a premise they are aware of in the first place. Isn't it true that by starting questions and forums with no concept we are wasting everyone's precious time?
I don't necessarily think that would be true. Starting a discussion on something that you have little understanding of could very well help to increase your understanding of that concept. In addition, it gives others who are quite familiar with the concept the opportunity to share what they know with others who may not know quite as much.
Discussions are wonderful tools for learning, imo.
Ok miss lol. The idea is that even you knew WHAT you were addressing just then. Asking a question is different thing all together lol!~
What I'm saying is, to clarify, is that it seems like some use the forums to write meaningless blarthy, and expect me to READ IT! I love writing and the arts, but I just cannot stand the approaches taken by some.
It goes without saying that by asking questions we can learn from each other (highschool 8th grade lol), but shouldn't even the question or forum being addressed be recognized BEFORE it is written???

Wow. That was a pretty snitty response. In response to the question you asked...it's perfectly acceptable, imo, to put forth a topic on which one may not be completely clear for the sake of starting a discussion that might help foster a deeper understanding. Apparently, you weren't looking for a discussion, just an assent to the question you've apparently already answered.
Nice.
No one "expects" you to read anything. You don't like what a person posts? Stop reading their posts.
Why not ask a good writer and see if it's true?
I asked myself already, funny, you're right, it's sort of a redundant question.

Can you discuss the existence (or non-existence) of God without insulting someone?It appears to me that whenever someone discusses God or religion that it always results in an argument where a person's intelligence is put into question. Answers are usually voted up or down depending on the beliefs...

As an out gay man, I'd like to address a topic that I've noticed in recent months that's extremely disturbing. Specifically, I'm talking about forum posts that are nothing more than homophobic sentiments, disguised in the form of a question. I'm not going to link to these posts because I...

I still think comments should be comments, not discussions, that is the purpose of a forum. Maybe it would be a good idea that every author has a forum automatically made in a widget on there profile page and the topics are always the title of the Hub. That way you can discuss it and always edit...

Did any of the writers of the bibles ever see God?For example, in the bible Adam and Eve never saw God, they only heard him.Moses never saw God.There have been writings of seeing Angels, and if Angels can be seen, God should also be capable of being seen.For that matter no one has ever seen the...

We all have cognitive dissonance to some degree but why do we immerse ourselves so deeply in our ideologies that we cant listen or cant yield or grow?Lately I have seen a lot of people with such rigid thoughts that it amazes me. I cant say that I don't have conflicting ideas that I dismiss to...
