Could you clarify why you think you haven't been asked any clarifying questions so far?

You have NOT changed since you came back. You still do NOT read the actual words that I write.

When you ask questions in regards to what I actually write, then you will get more accurate answers.

When you ask absolutely nonsensical and ridiculous questions like you have here, which have absolutely NOTHING whatsoever to do with what I have written, then you will NOT get a direct answer to that question.

This is a rhetorical question: Could you clarify to us if talking to you is a waste of time?

The way you talk YES IT IS.

Also, saying things like: the Universe is getting bigger AND you are NOT at all OPEN to any thing other than that perspective ONLY, then YES IT IS a waste of time talking with me.

It was rhetorical. I didn't need an answer.

Why did you assume that I did?

You NEVER 'need' an answer. But mostly questions are asked for answers.

If people ask a question, usually they 'want' an answer.

By the way I have asked you a few clarifying questions, yet going by percentages you seem absolutely incapable of answering any of them.

But I did NOT assume 'you' did.

I just provided an answer to a clarifying question asked to me.

Because you assumed that it was a clarifying question.

Are you really that STUPID or did you MISS what I wrote AGAIN.

You asked: Do you know what a rhetorical question is?

I answered: No. What is a rhetorical question, to you?

In case you have MISSED it: I do NOT know what a "rhetorical question" is, to you.

Until you provide an answer to clarify what you are saying and asking me, then I will NEVER KNOW.

Because you assumed that it was a clarifying question.

But I did NOT assume any such thing. As I have stated if a clarifying question is asked, then I will respond to it.

For example, you asked me if I know what a "rhetorical question" is? I responded with a resounding NO.

So, can you make any sense of that?

Can you SEE what is happening here?

Why do you BELIEVE that rhetorical questions are asked for answers?

You are so distorted, by your own BELIEFS, of which one is that you are far superior to "others", that you write in such a distorted way that you are totally unaware of what is actually taking place here now.

1. I neither believe nor disbelieve any thing.

2. I never even thought that so called "rhetorical questions" are asked for answers BECAUSE as I have CLEARLY STATED: I do NOT even know what a "rhetorical question" IS. I am still waiting for you to answer my clarifying questions about What is a 'rhetorical question' to you?

The answer to both of the above is as follow: Are you stupid or can't you read?

I TOLD you it was rhetorical.

I see what is happening. You make ASSUMPTIONS and JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS before you even consider ANY THING ELSE. Your assuming and believing has closed you off TOTALLY, and so you are also totally incapable of understanding. Your inability to remain OPEN and ask clarifying questions has left you responding to things that were NOT even asked. But because of your totally CLOSED perspective of things, this would be ALL OF MY FAULT. So, let us SEE if it works this time.

I do NOT know what a 'rhetorical question' is, to you. For me to be able to understand what a 'rhetorical question' means to you I need to KNOW what does the word 'rhetorical' mean, to you?

Let us SEE if you understand now.

Maybe this might help I do NOT want an EXAMPLE of a 'rhetorical question' I want to KNOW how do you define the word 'rhetorical'?

As I say I want to communicate better, and from you total inability to understand what I AM SAYING and COMMUNICATING you are helping me to improve, hopefully. We will SEE from your response if I am getting better or not.
