    Oh. Not needed. You will find plenty of them by looking up the question board here. I've posted a few myself through my stay here, too.

    I'm just joking. 
    With your wit and humor, I would have expected more, but I understand if you don't want to answer. It's your right.

    They cannot be created.  They just happen.


    Let's see.  I can take from the vast pile of crap that has spewed from the President of the United States?

    Don't you think it would be a good idea to build a wall to keep out the evil Mexicant's?

    What kind of tripe is "they cannot be created"?  They're created daily.

    What was created first, the idea or the question?  Do people start out loaded?  Or does the question form as one after other people read it and decide that is what it is?

    I just smoked a bowl.  Very loaded question.

  • The classic, of course, is, "When did you stop beating your wife?" It's a trap for the unwary. 
    ,
    But loaded statements are much more fun. I loved Dorothy Parker's, "That woman can speak six different languages and doesn't know how to say 'No' any of them."

  • It was invented for people like me. 

    I used to write a column for the South Pacific Square Dance Review and a guy in Western Ausrralia liked it so much that he republished it in his own newsletter. The editor wanted me to sort him out but I didn't me. He could hardly have paid a better compliment than to steal my columns.

  • What's the old saying ... At school it's plagirism, in academia it's research.
    And I agree with you re the compliment ... It's nice when your ego doesn't get in the way :)

    The question must have lots of butter, sour cream, cheese, chopped onion and bacon bits to be fully loaded.

    The Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum is the most powerful handgun in the world. From here it could blow your head clean off, but the question is; do you feel lucky?  Well, do ya, punk?  (Clint Eastwood)
