Sometimes, people say a question is stupid because they don't know the answer (perhaps they are stupid) or they don't have time to deal with it (perhaps the person asking is their subordinate or child) or just to put down the person asking.

I agree. If you're sincere in attending to a question, no question is stupid.

Whether a question is stupid or not boils down to the "motivation" of the person answering the question. For a person with a good personality, the motivation is always to share, and the person derives joy from sharing. For others with poor upbringing and a chip on their shoulders, the motivation is always to "make use" of the question to promote himself.

Just like Tonychat calls Sinkies ball-less to promote himself as the opposite of the people he derides, people who remark a question stupid insinuate that the person asking the question is stupid. The person who purports to answer the question is desperate to promote himself as clever.

why people always say : don't ask stupid questions.

what is, to you, are example of stupid questions?

maybe it is:

"what is a stupid question" constitutes a stupid question?

A stupid question is when one asks an obvious question.

Eg.

1. Standing in the immigration line, you're carrying a Singapore Passport, and the toad behind asks, "Are you a Singaporean?"

2. You pull into to a petrol kiosk, unlock your gas tank, and the pump attendant asks, "You want to pump petrol?"

Cheers!

ps.

Answers:

1. No. I am holding this passport for a friend.

2. No. I only parking my car.
