Rhetorical Question Blunder


 * While studying to be an elementary school teacher, one of this troper's professors was warning us about getting into the habit of using rhetorical questions with young children. Not only can they be humiliating, they don't get to the root of the problem and really young kids just don't get them. She also told us that the best way to get out of the habit of using rhetorical questions was to have a student in your class who actually answers them.
 * The classic example being "Do you want to teach this class??" "OK!"
 * Something like that happened to my mother, a high school teacher. The student in question was named Kara Leeding. IncrediblyLamePun ensued.


 * Ever encountered those atheist videos on YouTube that try to use strawman arguments to prove how bad/illogical religion is? One of the classic arguments is the question AskAStupidQuestion If God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent, why is there so much suffering in the world followed by "Your answer will be GetAStupidAnswer God works in mysterious ways". Funny part? They will never listen to actual responses unless they VocalMinority prove TheFundamentalist their point.
