I remember a loooong time ago, you told me I wasn't asking an "honest question".
At the moment I said, "How can a question not be honest? It's a question, not a statement."
I recollect it was a teachable moment for me because I had to think about whether or not it was.

You said that it's a question to which I already knew the answer but was not willing to put forth that answer.
Not technically a rhetorical question which is asked in good faith as the answer is obvious to all.

BlaVe does this so much he doesn't know how cowardly and passive-aggressive it is.
It's just his hard-wired self: cowardly and passive-aggressive.

Funny story - I cannot remember who it was, but someone on this board once took great umbrage at my suggestion that a question could be dishonest. I'm 90% sure it was @Vegas  . He was quite miffed at the very suggestion that a QUESTION could be dishonest. He insisted that the very concept was ludicrous on its face. He went on a good bit about it, in a rather adamant manner - really took me to task in a rant spanning several paragraphs.

Then I asked him if he had stopped beating his wife, and if his mother knew about him being queer. He was like, "Oh. Yeah - I see..."

Every question contains a statement implicit in the asking. I challenge all and sundry to pose a question from the infinite number of questions available in the universe which disproves that claim. 

My favorite question of all time is, "How come my Uncle Delford's asshole smells like dog dick?"Quite a number of lovely implicit statements in that question. It's the question that I always ask after my hand shoots up when some dick head intones, "There are no bad questions." And it's always ME that has to go see H.R. - never the **** that baited me. He gets to keep on telling that lie, and I have to look for work. 

Another great one is, "How come the girls are always prettier in the parking lot than they are in my trunk?" I had one guy supply the answer right off the top of his head: "Better lighting, less bruising." I knew right  away that he and I could work together. When THAT guy said, "There are no bad questions," he backed that **** up - not like those pussies that send ya to H.R.
