What's wrong with that question? |
Excuse the large number of emoticons there, but I *CANNOT* believe that you just asked me that!!
"Are you still beating your wife" is the *CLASSIC* "loaded question" because *however* you answer it, you're going to end up in the wrong and the *only* way to answer it is *not* answer it at all!
If you answer yes, then you admit beating your wife.
If you answer no, then because of the way it's worded "are you still...?" the obvious corollary is that you may no longer be beating your wife, but you *admit* to having beaten her in the past...!!!

Nonsense, there are many hetrosexual PCs who wear earings while off shift. They too are affected by this,
|
No they are not because, by your own statement, it is only *off shift*!

there for either this action is not targetted at gays, or you are suggesting that the police believe any man wearing an earing is gay.

Well, yes! I think the suggestion that some senior members of the Police consider that any man wearing an earring is gay is a valid one!
