English lesson for the day
Some of you folks criticizing the OP for the use of the word rape really need to look up the definition of rape.
Hint - the word has several other meanings other than the act of an unconsented sexual assault - e.g. rape the land.
I'm not defending hthe OP and surely he should have considered the BP, taxes, shipping and etc, but if he feels violated (and I don't agree that we was), then rape is definitely an appropriate choice of words.
