philosophy questions

[Napoléon]

Just asking questions

Never heard that before...


Not to be an ass, but if you would like a brief explanation of why I personally think this is a 'trap', here you go:

You start a thread asking for our opinions for a philosophy class, pretty straightforward. When given answers and people's opinions, you go on to question those opinions. Now, maybe it's just me, but this seems very suspicious behaviour for someone who seems to be innocently asking questions for their class, especially when we wasn't told this would be an open discussion, I got the impression you were here asking for research, not a debate. Now this kind of thing is used often by certain people here on these forums as a way to argue while trying to remain as though you're innocently asking for information. It's called JAQing off...

Then again I could be completely wrong and if so I apologise, but do forgive us if some of us are a bit weary of a newb who's plodded along and done what you just did. Just bear in mind there's been people coming here under the very same guise (oh it's for my class project) just to try and have a debate.

*Edit* also, some of the questions you're asking and the manner in which they are being asked just seem suspiciously christard in appearence IMHO.
