i love those questions. they have definite, finite answers. i hate it when people ask me really vague, elabourate, general, broad questions like today someone asked me what i thought the source of womens oppression was and im thinking crap how am i supposed to reduce the texts ive read, the pictures in my head, the thoughts without pictures/words and human history into dot points to explain this. the only exception to this is special interests. plus i dont know how much detail people expect and what things are appropriate to discuss.

Yes, because I can usually never give a definite answer. I would prefer questions being on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being an absolute no, and 10 being an absolute yes, that way I could answer the question with a value that I deem necessary.
