Can be difficult when someone manages to get a look at one's files, and KNOWS that there was somehow biochemical science knowledge present, for Toady to have been where he was.

Sadly...he could not just walk away either. Fucking loathe snitches too. Who doesn't :P

Right fucking oxygen embezzling, islamite-fucking, whoresons of a thousand degenerate gutter bitches. Only good snitch, other than IMO reporting animal abuse/cruelty, or abuse of a child/other sex crimes...anybody who talks to filth, needs to die. Slowly and painfully.

snitches are thought so lowly of even the police call thier informants "snitches"
so i wonder besides the prospect of material gain, or the duress of police interrogation and threats of imprisonment causes ordinary everyday folks to tell on each other?
I can define a few of the motives i believe the main one is one-upmanship (to get ahead in the workplace), the comfort of "well at least i'm not as bad as that person" and so on.
or jealosy if one is more sucessful than another it tends to breed jealousy which makes people want to retaliate in passive ways such as dropping a dime on them to bring them down a notch.
so can any others come up with possible motives for this type of behavior?
the study of psychology is the study of human nature (which pretty much sucks balls) in order to predict outcomes so one can be a few steps ahead of thier opponent, as in a chess game.
feel free to add to this list.

The only thing one ever says to the police is "I have nothing to say!"
"It's like the drug trip I saw when I was on that drug trip!"

"I'm sorry, but you know damn well I cannot answer that question", is something I've actually said.

    There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
    And drinking largely sobers us again.
