I have this huge urge to post something about cars... but for my non-car fans, I am going to refrain.

It's funny how life works out. Today I was on my car forum (wait, let me continue, i promise it's not about cars!) and I was reading this post about how one of the members beat the crap out of this guy who supposedly raped one of his female friends. He was scared that maybe perhaps this accused criminal might come back for vengeance. Well, last year in psychology class, we learned about rapist and how they thing, so I regurgitated that information and tried to put him at ease. What did I say? well, rapist are cowards that like to feel powerful. The rape itself lets them feel like they are in control. So it only makes sense that a rapist would not come back to seek vengeance, because it would not be about being in control... unless.. you know.. he's a gay rapist.

So yea, it's funny how the things you learn in life that you thought you would never use could someday be applied to something. Now, if I never took a minute to store that bi to information in my brain, someone I know, albeit through the internet, might still be panicking right now (well, then again, he probably still is, but at least *I* feel better). My point? Don't brush something off as unneccessary... you never know when you might need that knowledge.

So next time you pick up something to read (Oh my god, READ? gasp!), don't just skim and throw it away. Really think about it for a few minutes. It might just help you out someday.
