Loaded questions 

Again, asking loaded, re or de-contextualized questions does not exemplify an inability to defend a position I hold.
Hym "Loaded questions, out of context, from people who don't actually want an answer isn't the same as you asking me a question in the context of this things here. You're a piece of shit. Die faster. Die HARDER. Die and then be resuscitated... And then die a second time... Except even harder than the first time."

loaded question 

A loaded question is a question with a false or questionable presupposition, and it is "loaded" with that presumption.
The question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" is a loaded question that presupposes that you have beaten your wife prior to its asking, as well as that you have a wife. If you are unmarried, or have never beaten your wife, then the question is loaded.

loaded question 

A question that has a hidden purpose behind it's asking. The questioner will usually ask the question to find something out without blatantly asking.
"Hey John, was Chrissy at Matt's house yesterday?"
"Yeah, they're going out... That was a loaded question, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, and thanks."

loaded question 

A question that is asked not to find information but with the intent to cause an emotional reaction from the person being asked.

The questioner asks usually in an emotional state provoking an emotional response. The questioner loads the question the way a soldier would load ammunition into a rifle; hence the question is loaded
But Rev. Al Sharpton, what about the Tawana Brawley case?

Knowing how Rev. Sharpton responds to any mention of that name, any question asking him about her would be a loaded question posed to cause him embarassment.

Question: Why are you such a crybaby?
Answer: You don't really want to know why I am a crybaby, you're just trying to make fun of me!

Do you know how to answer a f!@#ing phone?

Loaded Question 

The type of question a woman asks a man when she doesn't have the money to buy her own chocolates.

This type of question may also be asked asked if her desk has been bereft of flowers for more than two weeks.
So the latest loaded question she asked me was if a pair of pants made her ass look less fat...I just bit the bullet...realized I couldn't win...and called the florist down the road. The owner said she was thinking of naming her newest flower and candy combo after my wife.

Loaded question 

A question in which the responder has only one option to respond as, therefore the questioner already knows the answer.
Nate: "Hey, how are you?"
Lisa: "Good thanks, you?"
Nate: "Yeah, I'm Good."

Nate: "Hey, how are you?"
zabi333: "that is such a loaded question, of course all I can say is good."
Nate: "Yeah, I don't even actually care how you are, just filling up the awkward gap."

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
