Rape is RAPE. This should be a no-brainer.

Let's start with one from the "NO FUCKING SHIT!" Files.

White House admits fault on 'Mission Accomplished' banner.

REALLY? YOU FUCKING THINK?! Oh my God, is it fucking January '09 yet? No. Seriously. CAN IT BE JANUARY '09? PLEASE? FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S SWEET AND PURE?

Austrian man imprisons daughter, rapes her repeatedly, forces her to give birth to seven fucking children, and MAY get fifteen years in prison.

I have no words as to how fucking disgusting this is. Oh wait. I lied. Here's a couple more links discussing the case.

Here.

And here.

The top article is the first one I've read where they've used the appropriate word for what happened to the daughter; she was RAPED. The third article uses the following expression, "and fathering seven children by her." Um. Let's get this straight. He did not FATHER SEVEN CHILDREN BY HER. HE RAPED HER AGAINST HER WILL AND FORCED HER TO GIVE BIRTH TO SEVEN CHILDREN. To say that he "fathered seven children by her" is to imply that she gave her consent, which she most certainly did NOT. And we fucking wonder why rape is considered a "gray area"? Because no one will fucking call it rape when it's, in fact, raped.

And this bit in the second article almost made me foam at the mouth, I was so pissed. This little gem is from this asshole's defense attorney.

"He looks very sad. It is like he is emotionally broken," he said, adding that his client was receiving psychiatric care in prison.

Oh, I bet he's sad, alright...SAD THAT HE FUCKING GOT CAUGHT. I'm sorry, but I don't give a shit about how this monster feels. I don't care that he's sad or "emotionally broken." I care about the fact that he imprisoned his own daughter, raped her, and forced her to bear children against her will. He gets no reprieve for being a sad old man. He's a vile, disgusting fucking psychotic, no matter HOW the media tries to spin it.

More news later...when I have the stomach for it.
