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

[c3bodybuilding]

I was talking with some people on a medical list, and hearing all these old wives tales about gear, and myths. Things like they cause you to murder people, will cause tumors from even a few weeks of use, etc., etc. I started to think, people really are in the dark, and think people like us are just a bunch of ticking time bombs waiting to go off on a killing spree, unless of course cancer doesn't kill us first.

Why do people feel this is so horrible? A coke user would get more respect! So many people are out there using really bad drugs that destroy their lives, families, and cause death. We are just a bunch of bro's (and women) looking to better ourselves. Some do it for vanity, some for a living, a few even to prevent things in old age such as lower test. But I highly doubt anyone here is doing steroids for 'evil reasons'. Like getting ready to hurt someone. I just don't get it. I never will. I always believe that people should keep an open mind, and it feels crappy others can't do the same. I've seen people with severe drugs problems that were literally dying, and would hear people comment "what a loser", but I would instead say "maybe they are just lost souls and need some help." Never would I join on the hate parade. I guess for the most part, the general public is uninformed, and close minded.

It's good to be part of elite. Otherwise there would be very few people in real life I could share this part of my life with. How many people would understand that joy, and excitement, when you go out to your door, and the package is there waiting, or when you meet up with your 'friend' to pick some stuff up. Or how great it feels to bust your balls in the gym, to the point where you feel you can't even walk from your last set of squats, and know you are making progress. Thanks to all the bro's who are part of elite, all of you make this part of my life all the more better. With all the great stories, poll's, and awesome information from people like Huck, Ranger, Mustang, Will, and all the other great people on this board. As for the rest of the world, maybe one day....

Honey... what balls ?
they are on vacation now, remember

OK seriously, the vast majority of our society is ignorant... they judge without being informed, it's sad but true

I know what you mean man-I keep my use very secret because steroid users are so stigmatized. I've found it virtually impossible to have an educated debate on the benefits of steroids, people just don't want to hear it. The funny thing is most of those people don't stay shape, eat poorly, and abuse their bodies with alcohol and tobacco and live under constant stress. I promise you that the majority of the members of this board respect their bodies more than the average person.

Thats the beauty of boards like this, its the best support group their is and it offers a wealth of information and experiences that can't be found in the "outside" world. When we're 70 years young and still physically and mentally fit thats when we'll know it was all worth it.

Its funny because me and my friends have always been and to some extent still are serious recreational drug users, but when they (and I'm afraid to admit it now) and myself found out one of our other friends was on roids everyone was on his back. I got a bit interested and researched it al. Found out I knew nothing about it and decided I liked the idea. But my friends are still of the same opinion and theres no telling them otherwise.

I suppose its because where I live the only people who do it are the severe minority and mostly bouncers or seriously shady guy's. It doesn't help matters.

People are ignorant, my brother is a drug addict and my family asks me if I am using steroids like if I am something is wrong with me. As if I said yes, I am all of the sudden the black sheep of the family. The general public are just mislead by the media in my opinion.

its movies like The Program that scares everyone and misleads them.

same here! Most of my close friends are HEAVY drug users, I mean were talking at least 6 days a week they are high on something...when they asked me if I was using and I told them yes, it was like admitting I had just killed someone, they couldnt believe it...however after pointing out that they are not as bad as the media would like everyone to believe, and the fact they are for the most part the only drug that I'm on, and they will give me a result that lasts longer then a recreational drugs high...they soon saw that they wernt so bad...
