Where can I unload loaded questions?

Rarely here. Ask an intelligent question /get no answers. Ask what your favorite color bike or color sandals are & you'll easily get on the 'Most Commented List in Seven Days'.

I avoid loaded questions and rarely answer them unless of course I am under oath on a witness stand! Other than that I would unload them in the garbage.

Well, I suppose some of us six-slingers would ideally like this site to be sort of an Utne Reader in six-word bites. (With of course, longer discourse available in the comments section.) Here's how Utne describes itself:

"Not right, not left, but forward thinking. We're most interested in creating a conversation about everything from the environment to the economy, politics to pop culture."

So, here's my mindset: I lock and load, then I fire when ready. When ready. My "aim" is intelligent, thought-provoking dialogue -- not puerile, ad hominem attacks. But admittedly, sometimes I feel like being a silly goofball with six words. Shooting blanks, as it were. Hey, as long as no one gets hurt, I figure it's okay.

What say ye, fellow six-slingers?

Dhani says,

SADDLE up here, sweetheart!

I agree you have a very valid idea. You must be careful what you put in writing however. I guess I am overly cautious as my brother is a well-known attorney in New Jersey and he taught me well.
