yeah, I’ve heard that saying before...

yeah, and I've heard "don't put a conductor between the black and white wires." before too. It doesn't make it any less true. That's why these sayings exist.

My wife once asked me, "If I got raped, would you then go out and kill the rapist?"

I told her, "No".

She said, "Why not?"

I said, "Because that's what you are going to do before he rapes you.
If you shoot him, it's self defense and you will not be convicted.
When I shoot him, it will be premeditated, and when they find out how many clips I put in him, I'll be convicted for sure."
