Austria: Father allegedly held daughter captive 24 years, sired 7 children with her

AMSTETTEN, Austria (AP) - Authorities said a man confessed Monday to imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and fathering seven children with her in a windowless cell that stunned Austrians dubbed a «house of horrors.
Police official Franz Polzer said the suspect, now 73, also told investigators that he tossed the body of one of the children in an incinerator after the child died...

i do not know if beneath my co-workers' conservative natures lie perverted sirens waiting to be unleashed -who would discuss such things over lunch? well, in our kind of work we can't discuss anything except during lunchtime so that explains why, over a sought after second meal of day, we ended up discussing a sick man who had his daughter as his concubine for years.

well, in this world, every second, a perverted act is done and everywhere, there's a pervert doing his/her/its kink to somebody/something (or maybe just writing for her blog about her comrade who has fallen but has gained world-wide recognition)...

especially now that i am about to have a daughter of my own, and also fearing for her own life - she might become a victim of other perverts or become a pervert herself (like her mom and dad) - as much as i abhor the social order, during these situations, when i get to hear this kind of sick shit has happened to somebody, i get to think about the women who are close (and will become close) to me...and i, for a moment, close my eyes and breathe a sigh of thanks that this kind of bestial act has not happened to them and i draw a deeper breath and hopefully mutters that this will never, ever happen to them - or to anyone, woman or man..

this kind of act actually brings you back to the practicability that the social norms offer - it gives you a kind of stability, a kind of order...you get to ask that, amidst the social norms, why does such act still exist...and you get to imagine what if there were no social norms and such an act (along with other equally heinous acts) are normally accepted in society?

well, maybe we would squirm and find it disgusting...

but then again, this is what social norms did - it made some acts heinous and unacceptable...so we were all conditioned to think that such acts are also heinous and acceptable...but if we were brought up with an idea that everything is normal, then it wouldn't be too bad i think...
but still, we are living in this normalized society so anybody who was kind enough to finish this article would still think - man, no matter how you philosophize or psychologize it, it's still fucking disgusting...

damn, fuck social norms...and fuck that asshole!
