giving up the game

[bigp3]

I hate to say this and I am sure that I am not the only one who feels this way, but plain and simple the quest to look a little bit better and be bigger is just not worth the risk anymore to me. I have given up the game of bodybuilding. It is ashamed that our government has pushed people that are no threat to society to this point. It is really sad how freedom has slipped right out the window with all of us watching it do so. I sometimes feel like I am living in George Orwells 1984. So one last thing to say. Thank you to my government for taking away my freedom of choice. I pay my taxes, don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs, donate money to the republican party and this is the thanks I get. Thank you Bush, you have decided for me who I am voting for this fall..

Quitting the game of BODYBUILDING? or steroids? You can still play in the iron game without a corked bat brother. Good luck with whatever you decide, but just give it a second thought my man.

And if you don't mind my asking...what prompted this?

DAMN GOOD ADVICE...I'm sure all the media hype and a couple of bust is what prompted this...

I can kinda feel ya, because of all this crap going on it has been making me a little leary myself. But, I ain't planning on stopping anytime soon and whoever wants to tell me different can kiss my ass. Gear or no gear though I still will train hard and take care of myself. Your body is your temple, treat it well!

I will never stop lifting I am just giving up the supplements and discussing it with people because of the heat. I have too much at risk in my life to take that kind of chance anymore. I see guys getting popped left and right for what I consider nickel and dime kind of shit. It is really sad that it has to be this way, but it is what it is. Fuck, I feel afraid to even talk about it or give advice to people anymore. The bros at my gym ask me pointers and I feel afraid to even tell them you should do this or you should do that. It is sad but I am sure I am not the only one that feels this way!! I just feel like anything I say to help people out at this point and time can come right back and bite me in the ass. Some free country we live in huh.

I hear ya brother...I've given some serious thought to this myself lately. But I really don't see a problem, since I haven't cycles in a long time (almost 2 years) and don't plan on it for another long time (notice I've been pushing the clean approach alot lately...diet and training!). But I do still like talking about it...and the people here are great just for shooting the shit with.

One thing that seriously concerned me was that I think my EF mail account MAY have been hacked...I have some serious evidence of it. So I'm not gonna use it anymore...Can anyone tell me why EF mail could or couldn't be hacked into? I think I heard that kronk's password got changed by someone?!?!

That's what I'm sayin'. I posted this same exact thing a few weeks ago, but dealing specificly with Steroids, rather than the "game" as it were. I'm sick of the grind and the ever-increasing risk associated with steroids, especially these days with all the hearings, bannings, and soforth. Hopefully all that will go away for another 10 years soon, as it did 10 years prior to this Governmental horseshit. It's no coincidence either, that the previous round of bullshit, and this one were both associated with BUSH PRESIDENCIES either. NOONE could ever tell me that isn't the case. BOTH of them had hard-ons for Saddam, and Steroids. Anyhow, I have, luckily, always had good results with Creatine(especially Phosphagen HP), so the transition for me won't be all that bad. Actually, I am starting to see my facial bones again(from the lack of water), and have gotten complements on it over the last week or so. So it aint all bad. NOW, if the Government decides to ban Creatine too, as it no doubtedly will all those crappy Pro-Hormones, then I'll be making a Border run, you can bet your ass on that. I have to have SOME kind of edge.

If your password was easy to guess or any word in a dictionary then it's completely possible that it could have been done simply by a brute force method.

Past that, EliteMail would seem rather secure.

What exactly would constitute your evidence? Sorry I'm a comp geek at heart.
