I personally think that some folks just use gear as an excuse to be an asshole... just like chicks will use the drunk excuse for sleeping with somebody even if they only sipped down half a beer all night!! it's a way of unburdening making an ass of yourself from your own shoulders... "it's not me it's the roid rage!! I'm not a jackass... it's the meds making me go into incredible hulk mode, I can't control it!!" haha that's pretty much what you are saying when you have "roid rage" I think if you're a dick before cycle... you'll still be a dick on cycle but with an even greater sense of self worth... ie even more conceited and more of an ass because you think you "have the right" to be an asshole, because you decided to take steroids and buy into the media hype that you won't be blamed for outbursts on gear because that's what gear does!! personally I hate this term and it's one of the media hypes that help make gear illegal. I'm a confrontational man by nature... but I'm especially aware of my behaviour on cycle as to not further dirty the rap of steroids!! an intelligent person can control their actions... it's a decision... we all have urges... but only a lesser weak minded animal cannot control his actions... we all have urges or ideas... but we filter them from action... I'm sure most of us have just wanted to ram our way out of a trafffic jam at times.... however how many of us actually carried out the idea?? it was a decision not to. I'm not saying we don't have violent urges, everyone does... we are still animals... however we are evolved, intelligent animals... and so our nature/our actions are governed by our minds and we can control them if we so desire... but hey sometimes it's just nice to go pick a bar fight... I understand that... it can be good for the blood!! but just don't do it on gear or you give users and the meds a bad name!!
