WEBVTT 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:06.740 Yo, everybody, what's up, what's up, what's up? 00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:09.019 This is Neogentrix on Thoughts If It Were You. 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:10.660 I know it's been a while since I've been on here, 00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.439 but, you know, life happens. I am still a school 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:15.619 student, and I'm kind of proud to be, because 00:00:15.619 --> 00:00:19.440 of all the stuff that you can learn. Ha ha! Anyway, 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.739 I'm back with a new topic, just like I said I 00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:25.000 would be. I know it's been a month since the 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.539 last time I record, but here we go, regardless 00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:30.370 of that. so one of the topics we're going to 00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:33.789 cop uh go ahead and cover is date right it is 00:00:33.789 --> 00:00:36.990 a very common thing and is very very dangerous 00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.969 as it is it encompasses both male and female 00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:42.270 for those who only assume that it only happens 00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:44.729 to females you might want to consider again because 00:00:44.729 --> 00:00:47.250 this does happen to guys especially desperate 00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:51.250 ones such as my uh such as people or nerds so 00:00:51.250 --> 00:00:54.789 oh well that's a good way to put it nerds geeks 00:00:54.789 --> 00:00:56.880 basically anyone who's pretty much desperate 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.759 uh this can end up happening to them and walking 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.060 into a trap uh because they are not just sadistic 00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:05.500 men there are sadistic and obsessive women as 00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:09.599 well so if i had to go by definition here date 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.060 rape is a fast growing phenomenon especially 00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:14.659 in pubs and nightclubs the essential idea is 00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:17.640 that you you know you spike you spike a target's 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.079 drink with some type of sedative drug usually 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:25.780 uh ghb or Really, uh, I don't know how to pronounce 00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:28.620 this word, but, oh well. Uh, Rofanol. I guess 00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:30.260 that's how it's pronounced. And wait for them 00:01:30.260 --> 00:01:33.200 to become, you know, affected or semi -unconscious. 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.459 You know, this is how they usually do it. At 00:01:35.459 --> 00:01:37.459 this point, you know, you offer to help the virtually 00:01:37.459 --> 00:01:40.500 incapacitated victim home or to a taxi. Obviously, 00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:42.500 nobody will be suspicious as the victim appears 00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:46.319 to simply be heavily intoxicated or such. Uh, 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.200 having taken the victim to a seduced spot, you 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.060 proceed to rape them. The effect of the drug 00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:54.090 ensures that they can offer no resistance. and 00:01:54.090 --> 00:01:57.650 or remembrance of the experienced or the assailant. 00:01:57.750 --> 00:02:00.370 So due to the nature of the crime, it's up to 00:02:00.370 --> 00:02:04.969 80 % of date rapes. The victim knows the rapist 00:02:04.969 --> 00:02:08.710 pretty well, but most often than not, they can't 00:02:08.710 --> 00:02:11.650 remember or they're afraid to say. So the first 00:02:11.650 --> 00:02:13.650 thing I have to say based on that is don't leave 00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:16.370 your drinks unattended as you may get date raped 00:02:16.370 --> 00:02:18.930 regardless of this. And this information, while 00:02:18.930 --> 00:02:20.909 it was published a good couple of years ago, 00:02:21.009 --> 00:02:24.719 is still very valid even today. Keep this in 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.259 mind, that even the most innocent of people, 00:02:28.419 --> 00:02:31.180 this can happen too. And even if they don't spike 00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:34.979 your drink, the issue that still lies with those 00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:36.900 who can get heavily intoxicated when they go 00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:39.539 out to drink and get drunk. While you may think 00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:41.639 you're still in control, keep in mind you may 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:58.569 not be. And this applies to anyone. So before 00:02:58.569 --> 00:03:01.270 I focus on further information on date rape, 00:03:01.430 --> 00:03:04.870 let me first give a slight background into this 00:03:04.870 --> 00:03:07.550 a little bit further, okay? First off, rape. 00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:10.330 It's basically sex you don't agree to, including 00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:13.490 forcing a body part or object into the vagina 00:03:13.490 --> 00:03:17.610 area, rectum, or half, or mouth. Yes, I said 00:03:17.610 --> 00:03:20.530 mouth. Date rape is when you are raped by someone 00:03:20.530 --> 00:03:23.969 you know, like a boyfriend, and both are still 00:03:23.969 --> 00:03:27.280 considered crimes. While rape is not about sex, 00:03:27.419 --> 00:03:30.460 it is the act of power by the rapist and is always 00:03:30.460 --> 00:03:34.699 wrong. Date rape drugs which often have no smell 00:03:34.699 --> 00:03:38.819 or taste can be given to you even without you 00:03:38.819 --> 00:03:42.180 even knowing at parties or clubs. Especially 00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:44.939 where alcohol is served. Alcohol can make you 00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:47.180 less aware of danger and make you less able to 00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:49.560 think clearly and even resist sexual assault. 00:03:49.860 --> 00:03:52.400 If you are given a date rape drug, you may not 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.979 even be able to say no to unwanted sex and you 00:03:54.979 --> 00:03:57.360 may not even be able to clearly remember what 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.439 happened. Remember, even if you were drinking, 00:04:00.659 --> 00:04:03.919 it's not your fault, okay? And then on that note... 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.300 While alcohol does make you oblivious to these 00:04:07.300 --> 00:04:09.780 drugs, and even if they're there, or even what 00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:12.379 the other person does, keep in mind that during 00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:14.879 this point, you're so happy you're on cloud nine, 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.819 you'll agree to pretty much anything, okay? So 00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:21.300 while that being said, keep in mind this is also 00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:24.579 really closely related to sexual assault, okay? 00:04:24.699 --> 00:04:26.959 And sexual assault and abuse is any kind of sexual 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.620 activity that you basically don't agree to, okay? 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.399 This includes inappropriate touching, vaginal, 00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:35.540 anal, or even oral sex, sex that you say no to, 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.860 rape, attempted rape, or even child molestation. 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.050 Yes, it would even go that far, okay? Sexual 00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:45.889 assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that 00:04:45.889 --> 00:04:48.589 forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact 00:04:48.589 --> 00:04:52.930 or attention. Examples of this would be considered 00:04:52.930 --> 00:04:56.449 voyeurism, when someone watches private sexual 00:04:56.449 --> 00:04:59.050 acts, exhibitionism, when someone exposes him 00:04:59.050 --> 00:05:03.069 or herself in public, incest, which is basically 00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:06.509 sexual contact between family members, and even 00:05:06.509 --> 00:05:09.009 sexual harassment. It can happen in different 00:05:09.009 --> 00:05:11.110 situations, by a stranger in isolated places, 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.540 excuse me on a date or even at home by somebody 00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:19.500 you know it's very very possible that this can 00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:29.180 happen to anybody so I'm gonna go ahead copy 00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:33.620 comment on this real quick okay one thing some 00:05:33.620 --> 00:05:37.029 things you should know okay what I what i know 00:05:37.029 --> 00:05:39.689 about rape drugs in the first place okay i know 00:05:39.689 --> 00:05:42.110 about this for the sake of keeping myself safe 00:05:42.110 --> 00:05:44.310 because i don't go to parties or anything of 00:05:44.310 --> 00:05:47.050 that nature okay i don't drink alcohol i don't 00:05:47.050 --> 00:05:48.870 drink stuff from random people if i don't know 00:05:48.870 --> 00:05:50.829 where it came from i just don't drink it okay 00:05:50.829 --> 00:05:53.610 or eat it for that matter and you all know i 00:05:53.610 --> 00:05:57.600 love food okay Date rape drugs are commonly used 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.339 to sexually assault any person. The drug often 00:06:00.339 --> 00:06:03.100 has no color, smell, taste, or easily can be 00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:05.100 added to drinks without victims even knowing. 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.000 These drugs usually cause a person to become 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.800 helpless. They can hardly move and are not able 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.579 to protect themselves from being hurt. The people 00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:15.060 who have been given these drugs say they feel 00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:17.920 paralyzed and couldn't see well and had blackouts, 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:22.000 problems talking, confusion, dizziness. Date 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.199 rape drugs can even cause death. That's the worst 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.240 case scenario, okay? It's hard to know whether 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.500 a party, concert, or even a club that you go 00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:32.139 to or plan to go to will be dangerous. Drugs 00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:34.720 may not be at every party you go to, but you 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.540 should still have a plan keeping yourself and 00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:40.899 your friends safe no matter what, okay? This 00:06:40.899 --> 00:06:44.910 is why me not drinking is a good thing. I don't 00:06:44.910 --> 00:06:46.670 have to worry about this, but I do have to worry 00:06:46.670 --> 00:06:48.790 about my friends in the process, okay? So I'm 00:06:48.790 --> 00:06:50.269 going to go ahead and cover this for the sake 00:06:50.269 --> 00:06:52.970 of them and anyone else who wants to know. Say 00:06:52.970 --> 00:06:56.389 no to alcohol, okay? Have water or soda instead. 00:06:56.769 --> 00:06:59.129 Open your own drinks. Don't have anyone else 00:06:59.129 --> 00:07:01.870 do that. Next, don't let other people hand you 00:07:01.870 --> 00:07:04.750 drinks, okay? On that note, keep your drinks 00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:06.850 with you at all times, even when you go to the 00:07:06.850 --> 00:07:10.019 bathroom. Disgusting as that sounds, it's better 00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:13.860 it's with you than by itself. Also, don't share 00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:15.860 drinks. I don't know how many times I have to 00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:19.379 tell people this, but sharing drinks can cause 00:07:19.379 --> 00:07:21.860 an infinite number of possibilities to happen. 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:23.819 For one, you don't even know where that person's 00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:26.399 been or if they've been drugged already, and 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.120 it just shares from their cup to yours, okay? 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.439 Don't drink punch from punch bowls or other large, 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.639 common, open containers, as they may already 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.949 have the drugs in it, okay? Don't drink anything 00:07:37.949 --> 00:07:41.310 that tastes, looks, or smells strange. Sometimes 00:07:41.310 --> 00:07:44.850 GHB has a salty taste to it, but you won't know 00:07:44.850 --> 00:07:48.269 until you get near it. Also, go to a party club 00:07:48.269 --> 00:07:50.129 or concert with someone you trust, such as a 00:07:50.129 --> 00:07:53.069 friend or an older brother or sister. And in 00:07:53.069 --> 00:07:54.670 some people's case, your parents, if they're 00:07:54.670 --> 00:07:59.420 party people. Be careful, okay? Stay away from 00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:01.860 party drugs. They can be pills, liquids, or even 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:04.779 powders. These drugs can also leave you disoriented 00:08:04.779 --> 00:08:07.079 and completely vulnerable. You don't know what's 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:07.899 going to happen to you.
