Why is this flawed?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
What is wrong with Draconian Law
- Thread starter Vantagepoint34
- Start date
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Just WTF is draconian? I think it's a term used often in pro American and anti America's potential enemy propaganda. Any law in its basic nature can't be draconian, otherwise people will rebel. Exception is mass zombification via television, people do what is cool, just look at how many in America are gay or into big rims with spinners.
Without googling, my understanding is that "draconian" means "punishment significantly in excess of the wrong committed."
In the U.S., we have an 8th Amendment that expressly bans "draconian" law or punishments, so that's one reason why it's wrong. It's expressly outlawed in our highest law.

The term "Draconian" is extremely subjective. I'm sure that Vlad the Impaler didn't think he was being "Draconian" when he was implanting people's heads on spikes outside, his house, he was just being "proactive."
Generally speaking, throughout history laws have become "draconian" (at least in the sense that most non-lawmakers would agree they were such) when the law makers had power that couldn't easy be overthrown by the citizens.
Many would argue that any laws outside of "natural law," meaning a protection of life and private property, are too much and therefore "draconian."
e.g. bans on drugs, prostitution, gambling, any kind of price fixing (minimum wage, subsidies etc.).

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The reason it was banned. Wasn't it during the Civil War when they had the likes of Sherman running around. I'm sure there would be defense of Frankenstein should he have been alive today.taiyuu_otoko said:
