Re: Here's goes

Yeah, but the friends and family of rapists always say that. "There's no way he's capable of that." The problem is that rape is a crime completely normal men appear to be capable of.
Just to interject, at one point in my life I thought I'd never be susceptible to drug addiction...until I became addicted to a particular drug.
Once the addiction is in full effect, and you're dopamine and seratonin levels are at an all time low, you'll do anything to get your fix.
The point is, I would never underestimate the coercive power of certain psychological and physical desires to cause behavior you would rationally deem morally inexcusable.
[ABE]The old cliche goes "Ordinary people can do extraordinary things." I believe the converse is also true. [/ABE]
