Nothing wrong with a question as a topic kinda ridiculous to even say questions are not subjects when they clearly are. If you don't like a question topic then don't read the post and if you can't deal with that then maybe seek help. (having an issue with how someone talks is obsessive to begin with and not healthy)

Totally agree.  I have a co-worker that  constantly makes fun of me and how I pronounce certain words.  And it is an obsession with him.

I think it is ok to use a question to start a topic / subject, but not all questions are the same... For example, if you ask "Is the country headed in the right direction?", the question is open-ended enough that it invokes more well thought-out responses and a good discussion of the topic. However with questions like "Do you like chocolate or vanilla?", people can respond with just a one-word answer so there tends to not be any real discussion of the topic. I also notice that sometimes people (esp. newbies) will post a question about FC in the Off-Topic section instead of posting in the correct section of the forums. But you'll see this too inside the Debate and Discuss section where sometimes the vanilla vs. chocolate type of questions will be posted.

Actually they can respond however they want.  I don't really like either.  Personally I prefer strawberry.  And that leads to more responses.

 
If someone put the question up in topic,Do you think Hillary will be our next president?DUHHHH i find it ok to ask that in topic.

Kinda reminds me of some who get bent outta shape with spelling and punctuation!!

If you were having a nice chat with someone who stuttered,are you mean enuff to correct them??

u-u-un-dderstan--ddd?

I am going to say - probably so.  lol.  If you pay attention this same person trolls all the threads correcting others for spelling, punctuation, or making smart remarks about what someone says.

****************************

I don't get it.  If you don't like what is being discussed then don't respond.  I think it is a sad life that a person is living when all they do is try to put someone else down so they can feel better about themselves.

A question IS NOT a subject!  it does not say Subject or Question at top.  Poor reading comprehension, obvious lack of education, and rampant laziness on here are very insightful and scary to know that this little thing indicates why the country is going the way it is, think about it if you can 8) :peace:

What an odd thing to get so upset about.  This is just a forum for discussion after all.

Quote from: Google
sub·ject
noun: subject; plural noun: subjects
ˈsəbjəkt/

    1.    a person or thing that is being discussed, described, or dealt with.
    "I've said all there is to be said on the subject"
    synonyms:   theme, subject matter, topic, issue, question, concern, point, substance, essence, gist
Therefore the word "question" is a suitable synonym for the word "subject" as it pertains to a topic for discussion. Since we are dealing with humans that understand nuances between the two words as well as how they relate, we have the capacity to understand a question asked as being similar enough to a technical "subject" being written instead.
A question IS NOT a subject!  it does not say Subject or Question at top.  Poor reading comprehension, obvious lack of education, and rampant laziness on here are very insightful and scary to know that this little thing indicates why the country is going the way it is, think about it if you can 8) :peace:
Broad generalizations, nitpicking of other's grammar / word usage while at the same time displaying poor grammar (ever heard of a run-on sentence?), and a dig on people's mental capacity that is completely unrelated to the original topic is very insightful to the trollish nature of your posts.

fjaz1, whenever I see this name I usually IGNOR.   I am tired of some pompous ones putting every one down if they do not agree with them.
