Step into the confessional . . . . Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

What was the worst question you have ever asked, that you recall?

eg: A question you asked about something, and then what you found out, was so repugnant, stupid, or something, that you REALLY regretted asking at all.



One time, at the private Catholic college I went to as an undergrad, I was having a civil argument with a seminary student on his perception of homosexual behavior as being a sin.

So, I played "devil's advocate" and said something like, that if he was to be consistent, then he would also have to believe that wives are to subservient to their husbands. I thought he would back pedal -- but instead, he said, yes, wives ought to be subservient!!

I regretted asking the "devil's advocate" question, since I found out that he was more conservative than I would have liked to know. I just found his answer incredulous.

Actually, that's a great question - you gave him the option of backpedalling, or remaining consistent and looking stupid. Either way, you win

Ok. So I was playing some online game a few years ago. I had just met somebody and was starting to play with them pretty regularly. I was really excited about this new weapon or skill that my character had acquired and would type in sounds akin to those made by martial artists whenever I attacked enemies. For about 5 min my comments got more and more steriotypical of Asian martial artists as I got more and more into using this new weapon/skill.
We had been asking questions about each other for a while and I soon found out that he was the son of some well-respected martial arts trainer...
tee hee hee...
/runs from the game and thanks god I didn't give the guy my adress

Bah, these confessions are weak.

I once ran into my ex boyfriend three months after he had dumped me one night while on the beach. He was shatteringly drunk. I went back to this place with him and watched a bit of TV. Before having sex on the carpet floor. He falls asleep. A little while later, I get up, put my clothes on, and walk out the door and go back home. Hopefully using him like nothing more than a piece of meat will teach him that no one dumps me without asking first.

That's my version of the story and that's all you'll ever hear.

Probably something I said to some hot chick that I was interested in at the time...ya' know, if I don't care, I can hold an intelligent conversation, but if I am interested, my usual reaction is to mutter some weak line and stand there looking stupid...

More conservative but hardly a silly position, considering that the fellow comes from a Catholic background.

Since I'm in the confessional...

"Have you been cheating on me?" to my ex who I knew cheated, and avoided talking to me as much as possible. I had to ask the question, since the truth had to come out.
