Can you please define "loaded question"?

Question

Just wondering about different views of what a loaded question is.
Seems you cant ask too much of anything here without someone thinking it is "loaded"

Answer 1

Many questions, also known as complex question, presupposition, loaded question, or plurium interrogationum (Latin, "of many questions"), is an informal fallacy. It is committed when someone asks a question that presupposes something that has not been proven or accepted by all the people involved. This fallacy is often used rhetorically, so that the question limits direct replies to those that serve the questioner's agenda. An example of this is the question "Are you still beating your wife?" Whether the respondent answers yes or no, he will admit to having a wife, and having beaten her at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are presupposed by the question, and if it has not been agreed upon by the speakers before, the question is improper, and the fallacy of many questions has been committed.

Answer 2

Define Loaded Question

Answer 3

The "loaded question" is a logical fallacy.

It is committed when someone asks a question that presupposes something that has not been proven or accepted by all the people involved. This fallacy is often used rhetorically, so that the question limits direct replies to those that serve the questioner's agenda. An example of this is the question "Are you still beating your wife?" Whether the respondent answers yes or no, he will admit to having a wife, and having beaten her at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are presupposed by the question, and if it has not been agreed upon by the speakers before, the question is improper, and the fallacy of many questions has been committed.

The fallacy relies upon context for its effect: the fact that a question presupposes something does not in itself make the question fallacious. Only when some of these presuppositions are not necessarily agreed to by the person who is asked the question does the argument containing them become fallacious.

Answer 4

A "loaded" question is one that has no right answer. Whatever anyone says it is wrong and the answerer get in trouble for no reason. Generally women give men loaded questions.

Answer 5

A loaded question is asked in a way to make the person who answers it who doesn't agree with you to look stupid. Or, you ask it in such a way as the only way to answer is to agree with the opinion of the person who asked the question or to cause others to get 'riled' up over the question.

Answer 6

completely loaded means that a motor vehicle comes with a equipment with navigation, leather-based seats, heated seats, etc... for occasion a typical bmw would incorporate leather-based seats yet a Honda would incorporate fabric seats. a completely loaded Honda or Chevy would incorporate analogous constructive components to a luxury motor vehicle minus the type call. for occasion my dad's Honda pilot has leather-based seats, navigation,sunroof, hd radio,means seats, a severe def speaker gadget, etc. My bmw 335xi, has all of that yet includes heated seats,bigger high quality leather-based seats, and different cool purposes i won't keep in mind.

Answer 7

It is a question that states you are opening yourself up to attack, giving the person the option to be aggressive rather than fair and understanding.

Answer 8

An old cliche: "so, when did you stop beating your wife?" = loaded question.

Answer 9

Answer 10
