interesting what you just said. good point. Austria's culture is also part of Westerner culture. After all - Americans are European descendants. It was said that "Westerner" is a loosely-used term to describe modern Anglo-Saxon culture covering both American and European.

Did you learn anything about deviant behavoir in that 101 class of yours? In your opinion? Try checking the DSM_IV (TR). You will find that it most certainly is a diagnosable mental illness.

A person of high intelligence and normal life with normal behavior in public but enjoys killing/torturing person... like Hannibal Lecter. is that mental illness too?
I'm just asking you for clarification.

Andjsut so you keep it in mind, incest is taboo in virtually all cultures of the world.

It wasn't incest at first. He raped the child and then that child became a woman, gave births, and then raped them too... sick.... sick.... vile... I'm gona vomit and then I'm gona pay him a visit.
In our culture and Europe - having sex with a little girl is a heinous crime but not in "third world country" or countries like Afghanistan. It's a common practice. but still sick.....
