Paid Members John Matrix Posted February 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2017 For those times when you appal even yourself.  Consider this a safe space... unless of course you're a proper wrong un like dog gobber or sex offender.  I don't even know how to begin explaining this.  It happens to me all the time, where I think a particular thing, then hate myself for thinking that particular thing.  For example, I just saw a tweet which read:   How a paralysed man invented aids for disabled people #inspiration  Now don't mistake this as an attempt to be funny, or as some sort of thinly veiled gag, it's neither, but I promise you, the first thing that popped into my head was  "Crikey, talk about bitter. I'm not well, so you can't be either". So essentially, what I've taken from that information is "A paralysed man invented AIDS for disabled people".  I honestly question what's wrong with me at times, so I'm hoping my fellow F'ers will reassure me that mine isn't the only brain capable of being a dick. I don't want that thought process attributed to me, but it happened, so I can't deny it, but I don't want to feel responsible for it either.  HELP.

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted February 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2017 That's exactly how I read it before reading the rest of your post. You're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted February 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2017 The question is: good aids or bad aids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted February 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2017 Took me three reads till I realized that it wasn't some b-movie villain in an aqualung sending his henchmen out to shoot the slightly-more-able with HIV needles, and instead that it was some bloke trying to help them out with medical devices. Which probably gave them AIDS anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkopen Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I read it the same way but also started to sing the family guy aids song. Â Not out loud I should add. Â Minor confession, Huddersfield have a player called Izzy Brown. Â Every time the commentator says his name it takes all my strength from saying 'yeah, yes he is'.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted February 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2017 Not sure if that's warranted. If nothing else, you should question the kind of people you're seeking validation from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian 86 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I think Sergio's hit the nail on the head there, I'm not sure this is where I'd look for moral validation (no offence guys...). Â For what it's worth, I didn't even twig that there was a different or non-offensive way to interpret it until I saw Jobber's post and had to actually stop and think about it. Â Bad AIDs all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organizedkaos Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imp_of_the_Perverse_(short_story)Â I always liked Poe's way of describing those thoughts of the worst possible thing you can do... Â Some other author wrote a short story along the same lines, something about a Blue Horse. It's a popular notion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
