I think our world is big enough for any question to get replies with ‘no’ as there are many dare to say ‘no’s’ than ‘yes’s’ – without any reason ;)


Ok, let me try …


Do you have parents? (a bit silly question but always get ‘yes’ from a sane person if s/he is not humorist or sarcastical at the same time) Smile

Do you love your childern? A perfect example of ‘yes’ question. I can not even think of any represantative af a human race who would answer this question with ‘no’.

Do you have parents?  What if a person is quite sane and lack of sense of humor but simply were raised in an orphanage? ;)

:) Uptill now, I only know about Dolly and sheep can’t answer that in ‘no’...well, maybe ‘Baaaaa’ near the green have some possibility :)


Ok, few more questions which can get many ‘Yes’ and maybe few ‘no’s’ as well:


Are humans mortal beings?


Does the sun rises in the east and set in the west?


Does water flows downhill?

So, in other words you want to say that you don’t keep any foes – that’s very positive!


But what if one of your sibling teases you with ‘no’? :-)

Saladeen, in that case I would say “I don’t care … I don’t love one of my siblings as well!” Wink
