How can a person claim to be a critical, proactive philosophy thinker, if they never or rarely ask Questions?

Question

I'd like to understand these participants!

Answer 1

The questions I have, I search for the answers on my own.  

Answer 2

You have a good point. I think philosophy begins with a question, or a semi-question, like a speculation. Good philosophy asks significant and thought provoking questions. Asking the right question is more important than an answer, because usually the answer is in the question.

Answer 3

Philosophy is about finding meanings, not in the question but in the answers.

Answer 4

Many times I find that I can get the answer through the search. Instead of waiting, as I am impatient as well, for someone to answer my question and possibly no one answering my question I do a search and find many good questions and answers relating to what I am questioning.  Many times there are several times asked the question that I am inquiring about.

Also, there are times when I have asked a question and got many remarks that did not answer my question so I referred to the notion that either no one new the answer, and couldn't answer, or that my question was so misunderstood or not taken serious that it would have been less traumatizing to just keep the question to myself. It can in that respect be much more gratifying to answer questions than to ask them.  

Answer 5

Perhaps they have all the answers, lol.  ;- )

Answer 6

we are all at different stages of our personal development.  Perhaps some of us ask questions somewhere else?

I say to those that only answer questions...I am grateful and might feel in debt to you, if not for my understanding that there is no selfless acts.  You are getting something!  

Answer 7

Asking a questing is very simple .But giving the right answer is very difficult.

Answer 8

for me it's because I am here to help. i'm a grass roots kinda guy not a preacher

critical, proactive philosophy thinker, answerer of many questions, asker of few

Answer 9

Philosophy (which is what you are asking about) is only about the questions. We agree

Answers serve to illicit more questions. We also agree.

I do not ask enough questions. We agree again!

Somewhere in here though I tend to answer questions hoping to steer the conversation to philosophy and away from rants, Christianity, love triangles, the "meaning" of life, or whether I should kill myself.

I have found, though that intelligent questions do bring out intelligent answers, however after about 4 such answers the answers seem to stop and the "pick a winner" button comes up.

Thanks, good question!

Addendum (then):

Gamers, the ones who find meaning in points are at least honest about why they ask questions. I said your question was "good"  but, relative to a well constructed question by gamers who illicit 30 or 40 answers you are still an amateur. Maybe you SHOULD try answering questions for practice (and points, as that is, apparently what motivates you) . . . and by the way thinking that Gold is the incentive to win the Olympics is, at best naive.
