    I never understood this train of thought. If you go into ANY situation not knowing what you’re doing, chances are it will end in a fuck up. Be it sex, driving a car, working with electricity, whatever, if you are untrained you can screw up someone’s life.

      It’s simple, really. They believe ‘good’ and ‘bad’ are something you are rather than something you do. So there are Good People and Bad People. Good People only do Good Things and only have Good Things happen to them, and Bad People only do Bad Things and have Bad Things happen to them. So anyone who gets an STD deserves it, because those are Bad Things, so it’s just a case of Bad People getting properly punished for being Bad.

      This is also why they excuse infidelity, cheating, stealing, and even sometimes murder in their own group, but scream about people in the ‘out group’ daring to wear a tan suit. Because as Good People, they only hang out with and support other Good People, and if a Good Person does a bad thing it was definitely for a Good Reason. Anything a Bad Person does however, even if it appears innocuous or good, is always done for Bad Reasons and is not to be trusted.
