Get the hipster enlightenment mug.Related Words
A question asked by someone where said question causes a lot of thinking to occur, almost on a spiritual level. You'll know you're being hit with a question of enlightenment when it brings forth an extreme sensation of awe. These questions have been witnessed before in popular media, but the term has been left undefined until now. These questions help increase humanity's understanding of its' environment as well as itself.
Trevor in GTA5 once asked a vegan woman, "You don't eat meat by you'll eat c**k?". This is a very good example of a question of enlightenment. Another example not from media would be "how can a lesbian be a lesbian if they like strap on dildos?".

Get the Question of enlightenment mug.A site mainly dedicated to warning lighting used on emergency and nonemergency vehicles.
Unfortunately it's overrun by mostly semiliterate members. This is substantiated to the fullest when browsing the entire site, especially the "Off Topic" section.
A definite pack mentality can be seen when otherwise coherent thoughts and ideas are presented to the simplistic masses.
Keep in mind most members are younger, volunteer low-skilled (not bashing volunteering), and from small(er) isolated areas (not that all small town people are ignorant).
One might question the presence of five or six seemingly intelligent members, unless they have a, "scientist working in a chimp lab", fetish.
The administration is often biased, and many of the site's rules/guidelines/links are unenforced/unused/outdated.
Two thumbs down to what could have had the potential to be a helpful and informative site.
(The following negative posts/reviews/ratings will be marked by breadcrumb trails back to elightbars.org)

EXAMPLE 1:
That guy is such an enlightened asshole sometimes! He calls himself a friend, but seems to think that it is funny that I am loosing my job at BP and will have to go back to teaching. I hate my job, but that doesn't mean that I was ready to look for another one!
EXAMPLE 2:
Every day when I get off work -- all I want is a cold beer or two, but my girlfriend has to ask shit like "Does beer really make you happy?"... sure it makes me happy... for about an hour... damn, she can be such an enlightened asshole sometimes.
EXAMPLE 3:
My vegetarian co-worker had point out that there was "dead animals" in my chinese chicken salad today -- that enlightened asshole ruined my appetite!
EXAMPLE 4:
(a statement which might be attributed to an enlightened asshole)
"Yes, the hurricane destroyed most of the city, but perhaps the survivors will have an opportunity to start fresh and make positive changes in their life."
EXAMPLE 5:
(a statement which might be attributed to an enlightened asshole)
"Littering is not bad... creating trash however is destroying the earth. Perhaps we should let trash fall on the streets rather than allowing it to be hidden inside trash bins and landfills. This would at least remind us all daily of the destruction we are taking part in."
