had this in Uni. I was the annoying student who asked questions all the time. After a few units, I had other students thank me for asking all those questions, because they also didn't understand but were too shy to ask.

Well the old adage of not caring of looking stupid or asking stupid questions.

If one is engaged in conversation, one should not restrain himself from asking whatever for politics/social issues.

Let the question be asked, it can be esaily dismissed or ignored if it's a bad/not useful question, but it can be asked too anyway!
