Does the world really view people like us as 'bad'?

[Super Halo Man]

As I am an open user, people actually respect that I am not hiding what I do and in turn ask the truth about them... It's probably just like with the pro-wrestling. They respect it more when they realize that it takes a lot of hard work and that there is no "easy way out." When I get people who come into GNC and ask me for advice of nutrition, dieting, training, etc... I tell them that no matter what they do, that there is no easy way out... that no matter what they do or take, it has to do with diet, that the "normal" way of life is not what life should be, but what the generally _lazy_ humans have made it to be. For example:

"Eat 3 meals a day."

Doesn't work.

"Lunch Hour."

Doesn't work.

"Food Pyramid."

Let's not even go there...

"I live on an hour of sleep a night."

That expalins why I am bigger than you.

"I work too many hours, but I want..."

Fuck what you want, isn't health a priority? You have the power to make your schedule.

...there are many more examples, but these are a few. The fact of the matter is, is that we all have the power over our own lives, our actions, and we all have our choices, no matter what the circumstance. If you want to achieve something, don't sit around and complain about it... get it done.

There are 4 GNCs in my town alone... and my customer base is over 3 counties here in Parts Unknown, NJ. No matter what my schedule, I make it a point to eat right, get to the gym, get my sleep... People made life the shits with all of the "civilized" bullshit. As you guys can tell, "civilized life" has brought humans, in general, their downfall. There is no excuse... none. Thyroid condition, I will accept... but that, too, can be taken care of. Piss poor genetics? I have 'em... get over it and work harder. Age? Don't make me laugh. My grandma is damn near 85 and does water aerobics and even hits the machines... and besides, the same principles apply.

To sum this all up, unless you are physically incapable to do some sort of activity, there is no excuse. Anyone who says that it's from a steroid, a supplement, etc... they are absolutely wrong. I know that I have a certain amount of respect in my gym because of how I work. I respect people for how they work... Granted, I joke around a lot on this board, but I get sick to my stomach when I see lazy people (and I used to be one myself) that won't get off of their asses and do something about their lives.

Sorry about the vent, and thank you.

It's all about society and how the media and general population view steroid use.

Take smoking and drinking... Two of the worse drugs out there that kill far more then any illegal drug.....

YET THEY STAY LEGAL and socially exceptable???

WTF???

NOW i'm PISSED OFF!!

A great truth of our society: Most people's opinions are based in PERCEPTION, not fact.

Juice boys have their prejudices too though. I rarely mention to fellow BBers that I am a vegetarian. From the reaction I get you'd swear I had just admitted to molesting young children!

No amount of scientific evidence will change their attitude because people don't let anything as inconvenient as the facts get in the way of what they want to believe. It is the same with the general public's view about steroids. You're just wasting your breath to try to re-educate them. Their prejudices (opps, I mean minds) are made up.

Yep, the media makes a big difference.. People are, in general, stupid and will accidentally eat their own foot and fuck their sister (atleast in the deep south ) if you don't creat rules for them. The government creates lots of rules for idiots/sheeps/morons but allows them the pleasure of killing theirselves with booze & tobacco..

Hmm I make it a point not to get involved in other peoples affairs

Agreed.

.........THERES NO WAY TO EVER JUSTIFY STEROID USE UNLESS ITS FOR MEDICAL REASONS

Nope. Not true. Eating white bread, consuming alcohol, etc are all bad for your body, but people still do it. Responsible use of steroids is not especially unhealthy. I don't see that I have to have a "problem" to justify using steroids anymore than a woman has to be ugly before she can jusstify wearing make-up to enhance her looks.

It's my body so it's my choice. It's difficult to justify disallowing people to use steroids for their personal use unless you think that people shouldn't be sovereign over their own bodies.

.....AND THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE..........SO EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP...CUZ WERE WRONG FOR USING........ITS ILLEGAL

It was illegal to employ Jews in Nazi Germany, so did that make it "wrong"?

.......THATS THE 1ST REASON.....SO IF U HAVE ANY FUCKING RESPECT FOR YOUR COUNTRY......DONT BREAK THE FUCKIN LAW!

I don't have to respect laws which are a violation of my personal sovereignty. We're not talking about violating other people's rights here, we're speaking of the state disallowing us from making a personal choice.


Peace to you too Brother.

My 2 cents.
