Community Reinvestment Act
If you do not know about this act, first passed in 1977 during the Carter administration and updated significantly during the Clinton adminstration, you should because it has had enormous impact on the United States.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Dawkins, Hitchens, and The New Atheists Get Heir Turn
I'm going to try something different with this week's go-around, as I think a few people believe me to be overly-agressive in pushing my opinions and also because this is a topic I've put off doing for a while now, as not a fan of the New Atheist movement, but not knowledgable enough about the particulars to try and tackle it. So, I aim to be more the receiver here, and I ask two questions, both inside--and I'll get my education from you all. ;)

Kids...
I hate the way that they get really quiet when you're putting in your diplomacy moves and when you get up to check on them (because quiet kids are synonymous with kids getting into trouble) and you find them throwing things into the toilet.

Yesterday I woke up after hearing the kids play in their room at 5:30 to find that one of them took off their diaper and thought it was a novel idea to do various things with their poop and top it off by peeing on his crib.

"If I were to ask you for sex, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?"
that line is stupid and meaningless.
English is not my first language but I think it's obvious.
If I were a girl, my answer to this line would be "What should my answer to this question be dumpass?"
'tis a joke, pal. if she says no, then her answer can't be the same (no), implying yes. if she says yes, her answer must be the same, implying yes. either way you get laid.

that is, if her answer isn't to knee you in the crotch and move on.
MajorMitchell (1874 D)

Thucy, you may be a demon at the Diplomacy game, but that "pick up" line is
an absolute non starter in my opinion, you may as well ask "could God create a rock so heavy that even God couldn't lift it ?" or bore the woman to death with a dissertation on
some high end physics.

first general principle, make her laugh and make her feel safe with you

second principle, women are humans, so have all the "variability of personality,
desire(s) etc, so you have to find the "pick up line" (if it ever is that simple, which i doubt) to match the woman

third, don't assume that it is always the men who do the "picking up"

i am not going to give y'all the benefit of hard won experience beyond what i have said.
in how to get women into your beds

except, the tip on the best way to handle the "we might be pregnant" news.

you have to maintain outward expression of joyous surprise, no matter how much distress and panic you are feeling, tell her she is wonderful, beautiful and damn clever,
"tis the miracle of life" & start suggesting names for the love child in her womb.

later when you are on your own you can curse the gods if that is your genuine reaction

why adopt this strategy ??? percentages.
firstly, not all pregnancy scares are genuine pregnancies, the majority are false alarms
so go figure, if your reaction was to start to discuss how this was a casual relationship,
and you are not ready to be daddy, etc then you are screwed.
when it is reveal'd to be a false alarm, she will never forgive you for wanting to keep your freedom and not displaying total commitment to her.
and if she is pregnant & plans to keep the child, then you have created "trust" & "commitment" issues by not being totally supportive

so, be totally supportive, & when it ends up being false alarm, you are home free
& will get best head jobs you have ever had, because you showed her total support.

the same idea applies, if say you were dumb enough to let "her indoors" drive your
corvette, mustang, charger etc and she smashes it up
you have to pretend to be totally disinterest'd in smash'd up car, and only interest'd in "her indoors" personal safety, in fact you have to get her nude so you can personally check her for minor injuries.
later on you can weep for the smash'd up car
so the message you give her is, she is more important to you than that car that she thought is more important to you than anything, including possibly her
she will know she has stuffed up big time, so you don't need to tell her
( that actually gives her an out, you nagged her, you care more about the car than her,
women have a natural talent for "turning a situation around" on a bloke )

so accept your loss stoicly, make no complaint to her, use it as an opportunity to elevate her perceived value to you & once again, she will put extra effort into that special service they know we enjoy greatly

it serves you right for letting her drive the car in the first place, if she smashes it

One of the facts of nature is that theres no way to ask someone out without being almost certain of looking like a complete idiot..

Even logical paradoxes and well thought-out lines (with equally well thought-out responses and date plans) are powerless against "uhh, are you asking me out?" or "*blank stare* .. I dont get it" (plus a thousand even more awkward responses you could never even dream of)

All you can do is hope to get crushed so many times that you become more insensitive to it

You need to hang out with smarter women. The women I know would love Thucy's pick-up line. In fact, I'm going to try it on one of them this weekend.

I once heard that a french restauranteur was fond of using the pickup line "I have a 9 inch tongue and I can breathe through my ears." So there's that.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
01 Jul 11 UTC
@abge, that's not a pick up line at all. Once you've gotten that close, you're through the pick up line stage. Either she likes you to allow you to get close enough to touch her shoulder, or you get punch in the face for getting that close.

LOL @ SD.
@abge, now not only we are not picking up women, we are also going to threaten them as well.
Whatever works for you I guess.
Somebody else's line, but it gets a smile from her and that's a good start...
Q:"How much does a polar bear weigh?"
A:"Enough to break the ice"
The only two that've ever really worked for me have been "Is the wine any good" and "God damnit all my friends are talking about their iPhones". But then I suppose they're not really 'lines' so much as actual conversation relevant to the situation.

Then again, I used them on dudes, so maybe they're just easier.

@birdsandmammals: if you are a decent-looking girl, it doesn't matter what you say. Your interest or willingness to talk to a guy is often more than enough.

Yes, that would be the implication. Not that I care if BaM is a guy.
