Sorry if I sound like a crass American - but his is a case for the death penalty. Then donate his brain and endochrine glands to science.

Sick SOB.

I don't think you sound crass at all. I am for the most part against the death penalty but in certain cases (especially sex crimes) I am in favor of it. Why waste money warehousing people who a) are often less then remorseful and b) who it has been clinically proven cannot be treated.

A monster. A human monster, but a monster none the less.

Why do you use a medical metaphor? Equating evil and depravity with illness is a categorical error. Evil is evil, not sickness.

Fritzl is shnitzl topic

Apparently he is on a suicide watch. Maybe someone will watch him do it. :twisted:

It would have been be hard to judge this guy. There are very few cases of this, thankfully.

ruveyn

It is not a metaphor, but rather just an alternate meaning for the word 'sick'. Also it probably wouldn't be metaphor as it contains 'like' or 'as' as a direct comparison. Although not really because 'as it can get’ is not an unlike subject. If there was an actual subject of comparison and saying it was 'sick' would make some sense (possibly in a different way) then that would be a simile.

Also really, there is nothing special about metaphors. In fact they are just old inside jokes that become phrases. Without actually knowing what they are supposed to mean, they are not meaningful. In most cases people don't know why metaphors came to be. Even the experts are undecided on a lot of them. They do tend to go back quite a long time, the ones in popular. Most new ones get used by their originator and then discarded, so in effect are just pet phrases.

:lol:

What an evil piece of crap. He deserves the worst. But my question is how the girl could have been kept captive in the celler for 24 years without anyone finding her.

This is not the first time it has happened in Austria.

Basically the entire basement was his. I think he had to go through something like 7 doors to get to their quarters. He employed keyless locking system with remote control. He was trained as an electrical engineer.
