So he feels like he's dying? that his immune system is shutting down allowing illnesses to destroy his body..is that how he feels?

Yes I did get the point he was making but that doesn't stop if being an offensive analogy and a complete over statement of his situation - a situation he was the author of by the way.
People not liking you because they feel like you are acting like a dick compared to people who are ill being ostracised - really!? |

You've taken his comment out of context. I have to laugh as the outrage in this thread.

I agree with you. .was just a typical perez comment highlighting how he felt ostracised from the group. .he was not comparing his suffering to that of someone who has aids..

I remember earlier on someone actually called him cancer now that was offensive, but finding an analogy for how he was ostracised wasn't. I remember those times and I can completely see what he meant.

The analogy is regarding feeling ostracised. Not the actual disease or the suffering that comes with it. It was a bit OTT and I can u derstand Michelle being upset by it.
However I wonder if anyone had been offended if he'd have said leper in biblical times. All about the context really. ![]() Quote:
Don't you have any other topic of debate other than Perez.

Someone called him a cancer too I just can't remember who did it. It would be disgusting who ever said it and much of what Perez has said I don't agree with but it's the OTT way everyone reacts to him that really shocks me.

During the 80's people were very afraid of AIDS and didn't really understand how it was contracted. AIDS suffers were often shunned and alienated - he said that was how he was feeling. Rather like EBOLA nowadays I'd think - but the Hopkins knows all about ridiculing and being cruel to EBOLA victims doesn't she. The hypocrisy of the woman knows no bounds. |

Perez has manipulated the show form the start IMO, I can see he probably watched the last CBB - poor American being bullied and isolated- (Only GB was a kind hearted soul who didn't deserve to be spoken to like he was) Perez seems to have gone out of his way to play a game where he upsets, annoys, taunts other HMs into losing their cool, or walking, or getting thrown out- his antics are those of someone who really has mental issues..OR is playing a huge game.
Now, (He watches the show in his mind to see how it looks, he has said)he deems it the peak time to start the poor me act, the victim- hoping his constant badmouthing KH and twisting everything, and what everyone has supposedly said, to make himself look the victim- pure game play, I recall how Helens journey went from bully, big mouth, to reformed character, learning her lesson (NOT) and the GBP loved that Perez is playing the same game- the voer acting tears, comparing himself to AIDs sufferers, it beign worse than his father dying..blah blah.. trouble is people seem to have short memories - he intentionally set himself up from the start- and that's the good side..if not, and this is really him - I pity him |

How anyone can defend this statement is beyond me. Wasn't this the guy who compared another house mate as 'a cancer'. He is a disgusting man who should think before he speaks.

Someone called him Anthrax. Comparing his situation to an Aid sufferer in the 80s is not far off. The original saying used to be 'I feel like a Leper'.....that's probably gone out of date.
And yes you are right I doubt some of them would even know what a leper was so the AIDs analogy was better. |

However, he used something that those in the house would know about and whilst I didn't think it was awesome... his comment was taken out of context by Michelle and those who just want to bash him with outrage and resentment. |

Don't you want to accept that people were ostracised? |

Personally my blood was boiling. I agree people were and STILL are ostracised. HIV research has come on in leaps and bounds but I have friends with the virus and they still get shit from shallow minded people. Perez statement made sense it was just extremely distasteful. As was the cancer statement.
