Exactly. It doesn't matter. Except it does matter that AIDS killed him. Brings the threat home.
Is that the duality of Albie? You have been pretty conflicted throughout this thread.
Just an observation. 
Summer babe. Sob!
It doesn't matter what disease or ailment finally killed Silva. It does matter that he died of AIDS. I don't think I've veered from that point at all in this thread.
I don't think I'm at all contradictory.
I hate Pavement.
"Oh! You ARE sick."
Sorry,albie but I don't understand you.. And it seems like nobody here does.
And why does it matter (for you) that Frank died of AIDS?????
He was a great man,and a great actor without even being an actor at all! He's the immortal BOB ;)
Beware of BOB
When I call out no one can hear me,when I whisper he thinks the message is for him only..my little voice inside my throat,I always think there must be something that I've done or something I can do...But no one no one comes to help,he says,a little girl like you...
You don't understand that it's an insult to presume someone doesn't know how AIDS works?
It's a modern day faux pas.
It's important to point out that Frank died of AIDS, as I already said, to bring it home to us that AIDS isn't gone. When someone we know dies of it, we realise this.
Wear your rubbers. Well, I don't actually care if you wear your rubbers.
The day I found out about AIDS I hoped it would kill off humanity. I hate humanity, generally. 9/11 got me watching TV again. A right hoot. I can't wait for the next one.
Please tell me there will be a next one.
But yeah, don't presume someone is ignorant of how AIDS works just because they use the shorthand 'Frank died of AIDS.'
I realise that you know full well what I'm saying and are just protecting your friend from the weird newbie btw.
"Oh! You ARE sick."
Is there any kind of 'ignore user' option on this forum?

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this." -Dale Cooper
I can't believe we've dragged a thread on to three pages arguing over the semantics of Silva's cause of death. Folks, it doesn't matter how he died. He's dead and instead of focusing on his life and legacy he left for us, we're focusing on his death and fighting about it. Give me a f*cking break.
