Accounting for the number of pills one has.
I think I know the movie you mean, but I am also memfaulting.
Wow, good point slumry!
I was thinking of popular culture depictions of, say, the Vikings, or the Huns, as "raping and pillaging" all the time. There was some movie or TV show where they mocked that convention and accidentally said, "We will burn their houses, kill their women and have sex with their animals" or something like that. Totally memfaulting on the detail.
Damn, now that's going to drive me crazy!
That is truly interesting. It comes full circle--rape has the connotation of treating a person as property. It is not just sex, it is treating a person as a non-person.
Wasn't the original meaning of "rape" more like a seizing or carrying off of property? So it's interesting to consider how it arrived at its present generally accepted meaning....
Surely it's possible to pillage without raping? Though I've never heard of that actually happening...
As in "rape and". Heh.
