How Do You Rationalize TO Yourself Doing Gear Being it is Illegal and All?

[curling]

Here is how I rationalize it. Because I don't think it(gear) should have been made illegal in the first place.
I think the govt made it illegal(against the AMA's advice) because of sports. They probably don't mind bodybuilding aspect of steroids but they did no t want people using gear as an edge in sports. So to contain the problem they thought it would be better just to outlaw it totally and blame bogus medical problems as the reason instead of sports misuse.

So since I do not play sports, I don't think I am hurting anybody. Therefor the law doesn't apply to me because I don't use gear as an edge in sports.

What about ya'll?

Here's the reason they made it illegal: The more illegal drugs--the more jobs associated with the PERSUCUTION of illegal drug users there will be. I.E cops, prosecutors, defense counselours, judges, bailiffs, wardens, contractors to build prisons, construction workers building them, prison guards, prison nurses, etc. Its all about MONEY bro, and THAT is why the government continues the whole "drug war" disaster. You end the drug war, or start to make some drugs legal--the more jobs you cut--the more tax dollars you lose. Now...How do I justify my useage...I do it because I want to & it makes me feel better about myself. Im not hurting anyone & if anyone doesn't like what I do because they do not understand it well...I have neither the time, nor am I inclined to WASTE my time explaining myself to narrow minded individuals who fail to see that there is a world outside of the one that THEY are living in!!! FUCK THEM.

Lets see ive got 2 freinds that drink alchohol EVERYDAY there attitudes are piss poor and they live every day llike its the last....

all my other freinds are on drugs like crystal and X and smoke....

i dont drink unless its a special occasion, i dont smoke weed but maybe once a month...and i dont do any hard drugs.....

so for anyone to think they are better than me because they dont do roids is blind...to there own world....

 

[Zyglamail]

Personally I dont have to rationalize anything. AFter all, gear is not illegal in every country, it just so happens that it is in the cough, choke cough...land of the free, yea right! I dont base my moral decisions on the imposed laws by our fucked up government. I base them on weather I am harming anyone else etc. and in the case of AAS im not hurting anyone, not even myself, so im my mind I have nothing to justify. Anyone who blindly relies on thier government or even thier god to tell them what is right or wrong needs help.

Zyglamail,

I agree with you on the govt thing. But God? After all if He was smart enough to create us, he is smart enought to tell us the best way to live. Btw He never said anything about not doing gear.

 

[Mr LuCiFa]

thisi s how i rationalize it

God, wen he made this world knew damn well its capabilities. We are supposed to try to be the best humans we can, not only mentally and morally, but in our physical worlds as well. if you think testosterone is the work of the devil, ur a moron, cuz only God can create. i'm just tryin to do this so i can better myself. we cant be perfect, but we can try to be as close to it as possible.

i'm only doing this cuz god wud have wanted me to
lol
and if u dont buy into that, than, fuk the so called authorities. this is supposed to be the land of the free. i dont need ne1 telling me wat i can do and not do to make myself better
i think the lawmakers are just jealous cuz they're all fat sloppy cows, and we will get ahead of them
fuk em, u cant stop me!

I couldn't agree more...

God is a realative term and just because you believe in god does not make you better than someone who does not. It does not take a beliefe in a higher power to be a good person and someone who has morals. Also keep in mind that the christian god is not the only god that is believed in. The thrust of my comment is that it should not take another being, person or power to tell you what is right and wrong, if you are a good person, you will be a good person regardless of those things, not because of them.

 

[curling]

Ok I see your point now.

Roiddog,

While I believe money is one of the reasons gear is illegal I still think high school football is a major contributing factor on why steroids were made illegal. The congressmen were taking so much heat from crazy high school football constituents complaining that the other teams were cheating by using gear they decided to appease them classifying them as a class 3 drug. The reason I say this is because I read about it on the Steroids and the Law site.

 

[Burgboy]

After I smoke a joint it is rational to me!

Amen my brother, amen. my body is my temple, I am building a bigger temple!

 

[macho21]

I don't think anyone should base rightness on legality. For example, how screwed is the legal system, if they penalize an individual for consuming few tabs of anavar, but it is acceptable to down a half gallon of Vodca. It is very contradicting. I base my decision on my own intuity and beliefs, and if it conflicts whith that of the government, I do not care. So I will down my vodca, and eat my var.

 

[BigPhysicsBastard]

I agree that high school kids were probably a major contributing factor to gear being outlawed. What I don't understand is why gear wasn't made available to people over 21 with a doctors approval?? And why, correct me if I'm wrong here, was gear classified in the same schedule as other drugs like cocaine and heroin??

 

[supertrunkz]

Why rationalize?............If you want to use AS use them. If not use celltech.

 

[curling]

Bigphysicsbastard,

No, steroid are one class under coke and heroin. But they are in the same class as meth, speed and stuff like that. But I could be wrong.

 

[RoNiN]

In my case:


Smokeing Nicotine and drinking alchohal is much worse health wise for a human being then AS could ever be ( I know this from first hand experience ). The Gov't seems to change it's mind every 100 years or so ... cocaine is legal and drinking is illegal ..... then cocaine is illegal and drinking is legal. Since other countries haven't made AS illegal and in those counties you don't see people dying from it and killing each other in the streets over legal AS I don't see a problem. I don't think for one second and the North Americian ultra-conservative attitude and their laws know better then the South Americian and European counties that permit use of AS. North Americain laws are bullshit and were made by pigs who were only concerned about themselves and how to make money. If I lived somewhere else it wouldn't even be an issue so what do I really have to justify. I also don't agree with the argument of other people being harmed by it because if you are going to agree to that then by that rational you should then ban drinking , smokeing and asprin because that could kill you to.

I'm not going to live by the illogical standards of some Gov't but rather live by a standard that is compatible with the life style I have chosen. And If the Gov't doesn't see it that way I don't care , I'll be who I am regardless.

Bigphysicsbastard,

HEROIN & METH---Shcedule 1
COKE---Schedule 2
GEAR---Schedule 3

Im 100% sure of this fellas. I know the Scheduled substance list very well.

 

[nautica]

Let's start with legally.

We must obey the law and abide by countries regulations. Well let's see. The first black lady to sit on the wrong seat on a bus. Women being stoned to death for cheating on their husbands (well that may be okay). Prohibition. Shall I continue. Although you must obey the law of your land you should also do what you feel is right and I feel that sometimes that is more important then doing what the government feels is right. Especially when the laws are made for the wrong reason. (IOC, NCAA, WADA - these are the only supporters of this law.)

Okay now morally.

God says we must treat our bodies as a temple. If we use the brains which God gave us as well as our common sense, then I feel I am treating my body as a temple. And as for those who critisize, well should smoking, drinking, as well as hamburgers be outlawed. Because we all know that they are all addictive and are all harmful to your health if you overindulge continually. And back to legally - if it was removed from the controlled substance list an put back into the doctors hands than they would be more studied and safer.

Okay, now onto sports.

Solving the cheating problem. Yeah, it is definately working. 90% of all NFL football players have or do. 70% of all baseball players. 90% of all olympic track and field and on and on. Until the testing methods are 100% acurate and all atheletes are tested not only is it wrong to test but also a violation of civil rights. Let's say 3rd place at an olympic track meet gets tested and fails. The next day they find out and give the medal to 4th place who was not tested. Is that fair or do you test him at that time - which is probably 2 days later - hence 2 days clearance time. The best one is banning THC - yeah that was a good one. They did that because it was easier to test for and yeah fucking Ha they caught a snowboarder.

Damn, you guys had to get me started on that one. I am not even done yet but I will stop for now.

 

[FarBeyondDriven]

I don't rationalize my use. I just do it. If I had to rationalize it then I would think there was something wrong with what I was doing. I harm no one doing them, it's is my bod, it is my life.

 

[METHYL MIKE]

How do I rationalize? 2 reasons: One, im not fond of rules, two, I want to turn pro, so I have no other option! Simple....

 

[liftsiron]

I use steroids because I feel that it is immoral for the govt to outlaw something as harmless to other people(and to ourselves) and yet allow people blow smoke into our faces at bars and places of dining. I also somrtimes drive to fast and eat pussy which is also a crime in my state.

What about ya'll?

just think of it as medicine and a victimless crime

 

[Fantom604]

I just think that it is my decision... some may say it is not healthy, but so is hitting yourself on the head with a hammer and drinking bleach, but you can buy them anywhere, and they have warning labels on them...
