That's the nature of broad questions. Usefulness implies an end, what are you trying to accomplish?

I haven't brushed up on my knowledge of logical fallacies lately, but I thought I had a decent understanding of what a false dilemma was, I just wasn't sure exactly how you were applying it to my question - and perhaps I'm still not. If I'm to ask,

"What is the cause of the racial disparity between the Republican party and the Democratic party?",

I'm not presenting any kind of dilemma, false or not - it's not a "this or that" kind of thing, nor am I trying to obscure anything.
It was sloppily applied as I mentioned, but the obscuring element of just asking questions bro is still present. Example: my role in this convo.

I'm simply asking for causality of an effect that we see in reality. Right?
Nah.

Perhaps you conduct your discusssions with your interlocutors differently, but I somewhat prefer to start at ground zero - and carry on discussions from there (generally - when I'm not feeling cynical or sarcastic, that is).
I've already pointed out that you're starting far from ground zero though...

One man's tedium is another man's revelry.

It reminds me of that guy from Belgium or something who liked horrible music and was like the dullest **** the board had ever seen but somehow frown enjoyed engaging with him.

You mean that guy who had his own specific taste in music and didn't try to dickwave about his music taste and say "I know more about music than you ever will?" cause he wasn't trying to make his taste in music be something to hold over other people? Yeah that guy sucked.

As in was one of our best members and you're an idiot for not seeing his worth. And he was just chill and cool to talk to ya know.

Hawk, you mean MicShazam don't you? If you thought he was dull you didn't pay enough attention to him. Shame on you, Bat is absolutely right
