Can I ask you a rhetorical question, while still staying with the Hitler

vegetarians?


Fredrik

You can ask a rhetorical question
and you can ask someone a question
but you cannot ask someone a rhetorical question

for when you ask a rhetorical question you don't want and/or expect an
answer, as in,

"What's up with that?"

You can ask a person, "What do you think is up with that?" but then it ain't
rhetorical for you expect an answer.
