RT: No I'm not.

Slave may be funny, but I don't think he's laughing.

Yeh, but if I try to pick up ladies in a Special Ed class, I'll get arrested.

Not necessarially. The valedictorians tend to be above the minimum IQ level for effective consent. You just have to get the lay of the land before you point.

Dude, that half is more like 1/10th when you consider what the chick get stuck with. If you get a say, its a real small say - de minimus.

Think about it. What kind of arsehole society would we be if we let a guy who knocked a chick up tell her what she could or couldn't do afterward? Its like giving him a claim over her body. Thats offensive. And nuts.

But if he wants to abort and she wants to keep the kid, he should be able to walk away with no economic responsibility.

Do you give your dates literacy tests?

Anyhoo, funny you should mention this. Theres this great debate in Europe right now about whether, e.g., Norwegians should be able to judge the muslims in their midst. The muslims are all like, no no, the Koran says we get to whack the women for showing a little leg. Its a real battle over there. The Norwegians and Swedes might actually let the muslims have laws for muslims.

So this whole idea of a body of law for women, decided by women, it seems like it might fly in some places pretty soon.

Hello

What the hell is your point with this?

Trust me on this. Chicks love the bow tie.

Psst, a ribbon wrapped around and among genitalia, ending with a bow is not a bow tie.

Fun to unwrap, but not a bow tie.

Sort of. I assume someone who is willing to go out with me isn't going to spike the IQ charts, so we really just focus on proving-out basic ability to function in society. I want a girl who passes, but barely.

It's like what I look for in Professional Responsibilty grades when interviewing new associate candidates.

My lord do I ever not want to insult you... but

Never fear. I am pretty much impervious to insult.

Math Is Hard. 100-21 is 79, so my 79 excluded the "always legal" people.

Reading is hard. You said:

79% of that poll believe abortion should be something like where it was pre-Roe. Mostly legal in any state that wants it to be mostly legal, mostly illegal in any state that wants it to be mostly illegal, and always illegal in any state that wants it to be always illegal.

That follows not at all from the poll, which asks nothing at all about what level of G should determine legality, as you yourself apparently recognize:

"mostly legal" or "mostly illegal" probably means any of a thousand different things, depending on who you are asking.

As for the other, I was just trolling.

But: Slave - see my extensive posts passim re: paper abortions for men. Everyone at every level should just fuck off and mind their own business and take responsibility for their own shit.

No, it's more of a tax policy litmus test.

But you probably weren't asking me.

I wonder if that's easier to work into pre-fuck conversation than the abortion thing is.

It's pretty difficult and there's a lot of disbelief. On the plus side, it clues them in that I'm a total psycho which takes the sting out of any rejection.

I have no idea what you are talking about but I like the term "paper abortions." That has now entered my lexicon of Terms to Use in Reviews.

If you didn't eat them already, can I borrow the lemon and cherry crayons so I can draw it as a pretty picture?

I'm going to go out on a limb- I'm guessing that by that point, most guys would already have a pretty good sense of this.

So you would force women to have abortions?
