  • Step into the confessional . . . .

    What was the worst question you have ever asked, that you recall?

    eg: A question you asked about something, and then what you found out, was so repugnant, stupid, or something, that you REALLY regretted asking at all.



    One time, at the private Catholic college I went to as an undergrad, I was having a civil argument with a seminary student on his perception of homosexual behavior as being a sin.

    So, I played "devil's advocate" and said something like, that if he was to be consistent, then he would also have to believe that wives are to subservient to their husbands. I thought he would back pedal -- but instead, he said, yes, wives ought to be subservient!!

    I regretted asking the "devil's advocate" question, since I found out that he was more conservative than I would have liked to know. I just found his answer incredulous.

    Actually, that's a great question - you gave him the option of backpedalling, or remaining consistent and looking stupid. Either way, you win

      Once you step into the confessional, you must confess to the question of the thread before you can leave.

        Ok. So I was playing some online game a few years ago. I had just met somebody and was starting to play with them pretty regularly. I was really excited about this new weapon or skill that my character had acquired and would type in sounds akin to those made by martial artists whenever I attacked enemies. For about 5 min my comments got more and more steriotypical of Asian martial artists as I got more and more into using this new weapon/skill.
        We had been asking questions about each other for a while and I soon found out that he was the son of some well-respected martial arts trainer...
        tee hee hee...
        /runs from the game and thanks god I didn't give the guy my adress

          So where is the part of the post giving credit to Supersneak for creating the 'Step into the confessional' idea?

              Bah, these confessions are weak.

              I once ran into my ex boyfriend three months after he had dumped me one night while on the beach. He was shatteringly drunk. I went back to this place with him and watched a bit of TV. Before having sex on the carpet floor. He falls asleep. A little while later, I get up, put my clothes on, and walk out the door and go back home. Hopefully using him like nothing more than a piece of meat will teach him that no one dumps me without asking first.

              That's my version of the story and that's all you'll ever hear.
              Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
              -Richard Dawkins

                          I was once at a meal and I was talking to this bloke for about half an hour before I got around to asking 'So what part of Scotland are you from?'. He replied 'Erm, Belfast...'. I could have curled up and died
