And for the record. Every question I ask I have a reason for asking. |

It is as if the person feels uncomfortable being asked the question, and in natural defense, they shoot back with a question to the original person. |

And for the record. Every question I ask I have a reason for asking. | If this is related to the business yesterday in that envelope filter thread, then I think you have just answered your own question. The reason for the "challenge" question somebody asked was to find out what your reason was, which IMO is a reasonable thing to ask--since you always have a reason.
If this thread here is not related to that instance, then I'd say "no it is not possible to ask a question without a reason" because even a biochemical impulse like Tourette's Syndrome is still a valid reason, and even a person saying something "random", there has to have been a reason the person's brain chose what it did, even if that reason is not obvious on the surface. Even a computer cannot pose a question with no reason, because there has to have been a software command that initiated the process. Even an ancient rock with a question carved in it, is posing the question for the reasons of the carver, however long ago that was. |

It's impossible to do anything without a reason, no matter if its apparent or not, voluntary or not, logical or not...
On a similar note I don't believe it is possible to do anything truely selfless, take Mother Terresa, who is revered for doing so many "selfless deeds" but she truly acted out of belief in an afterlife and fear of her god, and cannot escape the rewards of reverence and celebrity. If I where to donate a kidney to my brother tomorrow it might seem like I'm doing something selfless but in reality I'm saving myself the suffering of loosing a family member and the guilt of inaction.
There is a reason for every action and that reason no doubt benefits ones self, indirectly or not. The exception might be an action which results in ones own death, although such an action surely benefits ones memory/legacy and post death its arguable that ones legacy is essentially ones self.

It's all waaaaay to serious for OT. |

Do I need more proof than your above statement that you do not know me?

Questions, however are the most powerful thing that man has ever done. If you want to know who is in charge of any situation, just look for the person asking questions. If you have ever been stopped by the police what is the 1st thing they do? ask questions. Think about...
hey what does that say about me and my daughter..... dough
