'why' comes first in your thread title.

 

[dpm07]

which question comes first.

Generally, the following format is used to provide a proper and distinct address of these queries:

Who
What
Where
When
Why
How

This helps to put thoughts in perspective. We first identify who we are speaking toward. Next we talk about what the subject at hand is about. After this comes the where. This provides the location and helps to provide further insight as to a visual of locale. Our next option of "when" puts the time of the subject or thought process in a chronological order. We follow this with the nature of our query or the "why". Finally, "how" helps us to gather all the elements of the previously mentioned, and we see the gathering of these thoughts in the manner that they have come together or, the "how".

 

[Danalys]

naw i think it'll be alright. i think we have a secret understanding of what i'm doing.

 

[Danalys]

'why' comes first in your thread title.

you asked, "what?"

 

[blind_fury]

"Why" is the most important. It should be asked first.

how do you know who you should listen to first?

 

[Danalys]

"Why" is the most important. It should be asked first.

it might be the most important to you, but how do you know what to ask why about?

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

you asked, "what?"

i didn't ask, i stated.

 

[Danalys]

i didn't ask, i stated.

only after asking yourself what the question was.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

i didn't ask myself anything, you asked us

 

[Danalys]

you asked yourself for a reply to my question. that is unless you aren't thinking for yourself, but are mearly responsive.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

of course i'm being responsive, I don't have to ask myself to do anything.

one can be responsive without it being a reflex based one.

 

[Danalys]

reflex or choice. what question did you choose to answer and how?

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

i chose to reply to the question stated in the first post of this thread in a literal manner.

 

[Danalys]

yes, but that is only answering one of the questions it poses.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

you only asked me one question.

 

[Danalys]

i asked 5 questions.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

which question comes first.

this is the only question you originally asked and i've answered it literally

'Why' comes first in your thread title.

if you want me go to further back then the question posted is the first one i thought about.

but in a listed manner 'Why' comes first out of the list you gave in your thread title.

 

[Dangerous]

I say when

 

[Danalys]

this is the only question you originally asked

the title of the thread is the other questions. that's if you question the question.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

look back at edited post.

take the 'which' answer or the 'why' one.

both are feasible, the question itself isn't air tight enough to distinguish and consider either of them wrong.

if it's none of these, so be it.
