"What happened next?
 


CC: I called a friend and told him to come home, that I couldn't move and had to pee so bad I was like "SH!T!" I am gonna have to pee on myself! I was trippin!" He finally came and called 911. What do you know, the police showed up before the ambulance. They come and want to check out the scene like some violent crime went down.

I'm like the only black guy I saw in this whole area and they were probably like "What the hell is the black dude up to?" The ambulance finally arrived and there were two women and one small man trying to lift me onto this little @ss board. The cop acted like he wasn't going to do anything, then he finally helped."

 "It's all racist...jibba, jabba, blah, blah blah!"

What a fucking retard.  He probably od'd and was in rehab.

Yea see...and people think the poor ol' BlockHead is a racist because I point out the obvious. Cormier is a racist prcik who always plays the race card. I'm sorry if I was a cop and seen a big blcak dude lying ont he ground the first thing I'd think of was a jacking or a crime of some sort until I make an assessment. It's common sense.

 I bet he started text messaging all his 'babyboos' with something like this...'I be trippin...all on the flooor and cant git up...wat u be wearing rite now boo?' Then he probably called one of his ho's and went on with something like this..." ello? ello? awww shiiit watcha doin my babyboo? Just chillin? yea? you miss me boo? awww I be all stuck and crunk up in here..I be trippin...a n-gga feel cripple youknowwhatImsayin? huh? aww who dat be Keisha be cryin? tru dat tru dat...her baby daddy give you child sport'? man fcuk that n-gga any damn way...ay, ay, ay babyboo...call the po'po' fo me...naw...naw call the bambulance youknowwhatImsayin? aww you got another call? aight hurry up, damn!     ello? ello? who be dat? Snap! Im bout to piss all over a n---a up in here...hurry up call me a paramedic up in here...''

 Then while he was in the ambulance he was probably text messaging another btich with a ' wat u be doin boo u miss me babygirl?'

Chris - I wish you fast recovery.

Stay strong and make sure you find out AS MUCH AS YOU CAN from doctors about your condition.

My sister and her husband are surgeons in Serbia with ALL the medical experts available for consultation.
I would be more than happy to give them ALL the details to find out what treatment would be the best for you.

It never hurts to get second (3rd...etc) opinion in serious situations...

PS: I didn't want you to brake my record (72 IFBB pro competitions) but certainly NOT LIKE THIS...

My best wishes,

Milos

So you'd assess the situation based on the color of the person laying down? Well that's racist. So stand up, take a bow and accept the trophy. Racist Prick of the Year.
If you were the officer at the scene, Chris would be pointing out a fact. You're a racist.

 Yea see if you read the interview you will notice how Cormier is hateful and racist. He stated that he was ''sick of looking at those WHITE walls''. You see that? Proof. Why does it gotta be 'white'? How come he couldnt say he was sick of looking at the hospital walls...no, he used 'WHITE' to describe them. Despite his hatred for 'the man' I bet it didnt stop him from trying to 'git the digits' from Christina Lindley. Probably said to her...''Ay...Ay boo hol' up hol' up...why u gotta be like that u aint gonna give me some luv...how bout those digits youknowwhatImsayin? lemme holla at you, girl....aight aight...I be gon' call u...aight?''

 When he woke up a month later 'freaking out' for how long he'd been out of commission I bet the first thing he went for was his cell phone to see how many 'missed calls' and text messages he had. It was ONLY when he realized his cell phone wasnt immediatley available is when he freaked out.

Hahah, the thing about ass kissers is so true if your part of their coffee clotch.  There's one girl there that I refer to as "I agree" because EVERY time someone makes a post she say's I agree, even if it clearly contradicts her last statement.  The Massive G guy does find some good research articles and there are some other guys that are good guys.

Too bad for Cormier though and I wish him well.

[ CL: ] What was happening in the ambulance?
 
CC: I kept asking for pain killers I was in so much pain and my whole body would lock up like the exorcist. They kept telling me to stop making faces like that because I was scaring everyone. I couldn't help it. I watched as they kept checking my vitals, and I actually saw them flat line a few times then quickly start back up. They said if I had any more pain medication I would die. I felt like I was dying already.

That must have been funny as hell.

yeah, the cops came cause you were the only black guy....not cause you're the only guy who weighs almost 300lbs with about 10% bodyfat, is on every roid known to man, gh...you've been notorious for being a partier so you're prolly doing extacy...but they came cause you're black, not cause you're a fucking degenerate steroid user who probably sells the shit and has tons of illegal shit in his house.

For bodybuilding fans you guys are pretty harsh. You have all jumped on the bandwagon of Chris' genetics should win everything. You have all enjoyed it when he has been in shape and pushed the gut monsters. Now the guy has a bad break and alot of you seem to be getting off on it. That's bad Karma, think about it. If it was one of you or one of your families you would find the majority of comments out of line and offensive. I spoke to Chris in hospital a couple of weeks ago and he was definitely unwell. He told me the same story that is in the interview. I spoke to his mate Beau who was at the hospital and he explained the injury. Beau and his wife are good people, looking after a friend in need. You guys that don't know Chris should slow down with the misinformed comments. As a Pro promoter I can tell you that he is the best guy on the tour. He is the first to help promote a show, first to encourage the new pros to travel. He keeps things fun and light backstage and encourages every other competitor in the show. Yes he has whinged about his placing, claimed racism and all that but thats show business. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on stage one day.  For the haters, if you don't have something nice to say then shut the fuck up. TD

Q: Why are you in New Jersey in the first place?

A: I was waiting for Dorian Yates to find a place for me to stay close enough to his house in England. In the mean time I was staying in Hackettstown, NJ with some people who owned a nutrition store that I know. It was more convenient while waiting to go to England, as NJ is much shorter a flight to England than LA is.

I smell bullshit.

Q: Why are you in New Jersey in the first place?

A: I was waiting for Dorian Yates to find a place for me to stay close enough to his house in England. In the mean time I was staying in Hackettstown, NJ with some people who owned a nutrition store that I know. It was more convenient while waiting to go to England, as NJ is much shorter a flight to England than LA is.

I smell bullshit.

You seem awfully defensive of "The Real Squeal" for someone speaking purely in a promoter/contestant context.

Have you been the recipient of his tender man-love?

He said he'll be there with bbing.com, which has to mean at the table. Show is 8 weeks away and he's not walking, no way does he do the show.  He's not even qualified yet.

This kinda felt like his last hurrah tho- working with Dorian, going all out in England.  He'll be 39 or 40 next year I think.  I wonder if we've seen the last of Chris onstage.

Chris - I wish you fast recovery.

Stay strong and make sure you find out AS MUCH AS YOU CAN from doctors about your condition.

My sister and her husband are surgeons in Serbia with ALL the medical experts available for consultation.
I would be more than happy to give them ALL the details to find out what treatment would be the best for you.

It never hurts to get second (3rd...etc) opinion in serious situations...

PS: I didn't want you to brake my record (72 IFBB pro competitions) but certainly NOT LIKE THIS...

My best wishes,

Milos



Firstly, Get well Chris! My thoughts and heart are with you

Secondly, Milos that was "PURE CLASS!!"  Thanks, we sure don't see that much any where in this game.

No just stick up for friends or anyone who is not in a position to defend themselves. I have seen CC with quite a few women but no men. In fact I have heard other guys on the tour talk about posing for fags and CC laughed at them. I am happily married to a beautiful women. Thanks for your concern. Have you been rejected by a big guy or something, you seem to have issues. Do you enjoy other peoples sorrows, does it make you feel better about yourself? I hope so. Keep posting cause your post count is very important to you and others who find post counting prestigious.

Bob,

Since you are the athletes rep and with Chris' competition history and these circumstances would it be out of the question to get him "Special Consideration" to compete on the Olympia stage?  They gave Federov a "bye" into the Olympia and there is no way he has Chris credentials.

Federov was Flex magazine's would-be white hope. To the IFBB, Chris is just a burned-out old draft horse with a date at the glue factory.

i feel that the the ninjas who tried to "car jack" flex wheeler were responsible in some fashion in regards to cormier.


i'm sure its drug related.  whether from 15+ years of steroid use or any/all drugs he takes on the side.

Here is the entire article (just pour vous)

 By: Christina Lindley

08/02/2006

There have been several rumors going around the bodybuilding community about Chris Cormier over the last two months.

Some people were saying he was dead, others said that he had a failed liver/kidneys and was on dialysis. The rumors ran rampant. Chris has always been one of my closest friends in the fitness and bodybuilding industry, and I have sat silently by as the rumors abounded.

Chris Cormier In Contest Shape.

However, today, right now, Chris Cormier has agreed to give me and Bodybuilding.com an exclusive interview about what exactly has been going on, and what rendered him completely helpless in the hospital unable to walk or move for the last two months.


Chris Speaks:


[ CL (Christina Lindley): ] When were you first admitted to the hospital?

      CC (Chris Cormier): I am really not sure, up until this week I was completely unaware of how long I was actually here. They told me a couple days ago that I have been here for the last month and a half!


[ CL: ] Where are you right now?

      CC: I was discharged to my friend Lenyn Nunez who came to see me three days ago for a break, against the doctor's wishes. If it wasn't for him, I don't know what I would be doing. I felt stir crazy - like I was in jail.

"Once they told me how long I was in the hospital,
I freaked because I had no idea I had been there
for a month and a half! I thought it was like a week..."

      They didn't want to let me check out even temporarily because they were a little scared of me there. I don't know why, I can't even f*cking move!


[ CL: ] Where were you in the hospital? Why did you temporarily check out?

      CC: They had me in a bed where I couldn't move, because even though I would think to myself, "Move your whatever...," my brain would think it but my body wouldn't respond. I was so tired of looking at this white wall, "looking at ESPN all damn day!" I just wanted to watch a tree grow or whatever the f*ck!

      I was so freaked out, I had to go. I called the doctor and he told me that he didn't want me to leave. I told him I was going like three miles to the local Holiday Inn to hang with my friends and play some Playstation...


[ CL: ] What are you having to do at the hotel physically for the next three days?

      CC: I have to hook myself up to an IV tube that is stuck in my arm feeding my body antibiotics for 45 minutes at a time, three times a day. I hired a nurse to come by and teach my friend that is staying here with me for the next three days how to do it for me.

      I am walking with a walker. I had to learn how to evenly distribute my weight on it to even be able to move. I am in so much pain with the walker up until today I couldn't even use the walker without a pain pill.

      I gotta wear a back brace at all times looking like f*cking Robocop or some sh!t! I sat up today by myself for the first time. Let's put it this way, at the hospital, a good day was if I made it to the green square in the hallway!


[ CL: ] Describe the feeling of being there.

      CC: I was at the hospital so long; all the nurses were cheering me on to be able to walk. It's h#ll. The pain of it is something I never would have imagined. I feel like someone ran me over with a diesel truck twice. When I was really doped up in the beginning on pain pills, they told me I was pleading for a knife or for someone to cut my legs off!


[ CL: ] Not many people are aware of this, but you are actually at a hospital in New Jersey. Why are you in New Jersey in the first place?

      CC: I was waiting for Dorian Yates to find a place for me to stay close enough to his house in England. In the mean time I was staying in Hackettstown, NJ with some people who owned a nutrition store that I know. It was more convenient while waiting to go to England, as NJ is much shorter a flight to England than LA is.

   Did You Know?
That Chris Cormier was supposed to train with Dorian Yates for the upcoming Olympia? Listen to the replay here.    


[ CL: ] What put you in the hospital? People are saying all kinds of things. Set the record straight. Tell us exactly what happened?

      CC: I had been getting ready to train with Dorian. Mentally, I am thinking to myself I am going to get ready for that torture. I have done it before with Charles Glass, and he knows my boundaries. Dorian, on the other hand does not, and he is going to push me to the point that he has set in his mind.

      Dorian and I had trained a few times, but I am trying to get myself ready to take on his kind of training. So, I started training that way. One day I was pushing extra hard, extra deep, on the vertical press for legs. I think I did everything a little too extra!

"By 2 p.m. in the afternoon, my whole body
had spasmed out and locked..."

      The same night my legs were sore, and I haven't been able to make my quads sore in over a year and a half so I thought that must have been a h#ll of a workout. The next morning, I wake up and my back is sore. I think that is a little weird and I think, "I'm gonna put some ice on this b!tch!"

      The day wears on... ten o'clock, eleven, twelve... Each hour my back is getting stiffer and stiffer. By 2 p.m. in the afternoon, my whole body had spasmed out and locked... I was calling people, screaming at the top of my lungs.


[ CL: ] Why didn't you call 911?

      CC: Men and people like me don't like going to the hospital!


[ CL: ] What happened next?

      CC: I called a friend and told him to come home, that I couldn't move and had to pee so bad I was like "SH!T!" I am gonna have to pee on myself! I was trippin!" He finally came and called 911. What do you know, the police showed up before the ambulance. They come and want to check out the scene like some violent crime went down.

      I'm like the only black guy I saw in this whole area and they were probably like "What the hell is the black dude up to?" The ambulance finally arrived and there were two women and one small man trying to lift me onto this little @ss board. The cop acted like he wasn't going to do anything, then he finally helped.

      I was in so much pain and at the time I weighed 292 lbs. I didn't think they'd be able to lift me up, but they did. My shoulders kept hitting the doors on the way out of the house. They rushed me into the back of the ambulance, and I was in shock and hallucinating.

      I thought I saw Monica in the ambulance. [NOTE: Chris is referring to Figure Competitor Monica Guerra.] I was thinking to myself how the h#ll did she get here so fast? Then I finally realized it wasn't her.

      Figure Competitor Monica Guerra.


[ CL: ] What hospital did the ambulance take you to?

      CC: They took me to Hackettstown Hospital. They put an arm thing on my wrist to take my pulse when I got there, asked me a total of three questions, and next thing I know they are trying to put me head first into an MRI machine. They pulled me in the machine all while I am screaming bloody murder from the pain of my entire body spasming.

      I am so claustrophobic, so on top of that I am telling them to put me in feet first and no one is listening! They kept doing head first and my shoulders wouldn't fit in again. So they finally listened and did feet first up to my armpits.


[ CL: ] What was the result?

      CC: They still didn't know, and they decided to take a CAT scan. However, they couldn't take one at that hospital because it was older and they weren't equipped for someone my size, so they put me back in the ambulance and we went to the next hospital called Morristown Memorial.


[ CL: ] What was happening in the ambulance?

      CC: I kept asking for pain killers - I was in so much pain and my whole body would lock up like the Exorcist. They kept telling me to stop making faces like that because I was scaring everyone. I couldn't help it.

      I watched as they kept checking my vitals, and I actually saw them flat line a few times then quickly start back up. They said if I had any more pain medication I would die. I felt like I was dying already.


[ CL: ] Once you got to the next hospital what did they do?

      CC: They finally tested me more, another MRI, a CAT scan, I probably saw like 7-10 doctors. I still hadn't pee'd from earlier that day and didn't get to until eleven o'clock that night!

      They put a cup between my legs with people trying to help me pee! Over the next several weeks I was in and out of consciousness. Monica flew out to the hospital to see me and stayed with me during some of the most painful times. I want to thank her with everything I am.


[ CL: ] What was the final diagnosis?

      CC: They said the diagnosis is that my spine was infected. All these stories about my kidneys failing and all that bull sh!t is false. The only thing wrong with me is that I have three crushed vertebrae, from when I was younger, which got infected. The three are crushed down on each other and the fourth vertebrae got infected.


Jay Cutler & Chris Cormier At The 2004 Arnold.

      It was probably from beating my body the docs said. And that injury was always there. Somehow it turned into a spinal infection that can be deadly and render you completely paralyzed or you can die... if it goes untreated.


[ CL: ] How did you injure your vertebrae when you were younger?

      CC: I was squatting and checking this chick out while I was doing squats and I turned my head a little and threw my back out when I was 19.


[ CL: ] Why did you push your body to the point that it collapsed?

      CC: I put myself thru that for the last 26 years because my only dream ever was to be a pro. The doc asked me how much longer you need to train hard and the doc said you think you got three years and he told me, "I would be careful, Broderick..." He called me by my government name.


[ CL: ] What else did the doctors tell you?

      CC: After the infection is gone from the antibiotic treatments in my spine, I can't beat my body into the ground so much.

   What Causes Spinal Infections?
Spinal Cord Spinal infections, such as Osteomyelitis, are often caused by bacteria transported into the spine by the blood stream.

Bacterial infections of this kind are more commonly seen in individuals whose immune systems are compromised, such as the elderly, intravenous drug users, those having had urologic procedures, and those who have experienced long-term systemic administration of steroids.

In addition, those suffering from or undergoing treatment for conditions such as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, AIDS, cancer, malnutrition, and also immuno-suppressed patients such as organ transplant recipients are also more likely to become infected.

Most vertebral body infections occur in the lumbar spine because of the blood flow to this region of the spine. Tuberculosis infections have a predilection for the thoracic spine, and intravenous drug abusers are more likely to contract an infection of the cervical spine.
   


[ CL: ] When you check back in tomorrow how long do you have to stay in the hospital?

      CC: I have to be in the hospital until the end of August. Today, August 1st, is the first day I didn't have to take pain medication quite so much.


[ CL: ] Where are you now as far as walking?

      CC: I can stand up without the walker.

"However, right now, to walk I have to use
the walker and a back brace."

      I am getting better every day. I can make it down the hall and back.


[ CL: ] Are you going to have to have an operation?

      CC: They told me an operation will not be necessary. They just said it is going to take a long time to walk on my own probably the rest of August. I have to relearn motor skills in physical therapy. I am checking back in tomorrow and staying until the end of the month. I will actually be there on my birthday August 19th unfortunately.


[ CL: ] If someone wants to send you a card or get well note where do they send it?

      CC:
            Broderick Cormier C/O Jefferson Level
            Morristown Memorial Hospital
            100 Madison Avenue
            Morristown, NJ 07962


[ CL: ] So what did you learn from the whole experience?

      CC: "I have been pushing my body for so long, I never felt like I took care of my body. I think for the most part I just have to not push myself too much for my own good. To be aware of my back injury and watch it a little bit closer. I'm still coming back to compete. I still got some sh!t to win, sh!t to talk and I'm still here...

"I'll be at the Olympia regardless..."

      So look for me."

Chris will definitely stop by and say hello to everyone in Vegas. I will be visiting him in the hospital August 19th in New Jersey on his birthday and will do an update interview for everyone on his progress and status.


[ CL: ] Chris, is there anything else you would like to say?

      CC: Just pray for a brother, it is much appreciated.

      SIDE NOTE: A discussion with his friend, Lenyn, that is caring for him led me to believe that he is feeling much better. Lenyn said, "He is around 250 lbs right now, not on so many pain killers, and able to use the bathroom more.

      The pain is starting to subside. He still looks the same, but it is tough to watch him go through it. If you take the seriousness of the situation into consideration he is doing very well."

This is very bad when it happens to people that have open heart surgery and back surgery. I'm sure the pain was crazy, but I'd be crazy once I woke up and saw the medical bill

Q: Why are you in New Jersey in the first place?

A: I was waiting for Dorian Yates to find a place for me to stay close enough to his house in England. In the mean time I was staying in Hackettstown, NJ with some people who owned a nutrition store that I know. It was more convenient while waiting to go to England, as NJ is much shorter a flight to England than LA is.

I smell bullshit.

Q: Why didn't you call 911?

A: Men and people like me don't like going to the hospital!

I smell a big heaping pile of bullshit.



I wsa thinking the same thing (unfortunately).  If I can't move and am going to piss myself, feel my back spasm, and am nearly blacking out in pain - I call 911 while I still have a chance.  Who wouldn't?

BUT if there were drugs in immediate view and he couldn't even get up to move them into a cupboard...  that's probably closer to what happened...  Or perhaps he tried a "self-medication" and thought he would get caught on something.  This isn't to spread rumors - all just guesses.  BUT his story lacks a bit of common sense.

Arvilla, thanks for breaking though all the hate and bashing on this post and posting a positive message.

I talk to Chris every week and I know exactly how tough this year has been for him, he was seriously looking forward to training hard with Dorian and that's all he could ever talk about, he wanted to take back what happened at last years Olympia.  Give the guy a break, I can only imagine if it were Branch Warren or even Ronnie who was locked up in a hospital bed there wouldn't be as much of this bashing.

When I talked to Chris on Monday he was truly bummed the f**k out and didn't know what to do or what to say.
some of these jackasses have never experienced health problems or had loved ones with health problems so they have no idea what it's like to be in that situation, let them experience some and then see how loud they talk.

So you'd assess the situation based on the color of the person laying down? Well that's racist. So stand up, take a bow and accept the trophy. Racist Prick of the Year.
If you were the officer at the scene, Chris would be pointing out a fact. You're a racist.


Dude, whatever.. I've had black pro's and competitors that KNOW Chris personally say he is a complete racist (against white men) but when it comes to white women... he's all love,  despicable piece of shit.

The writer's article was on bbing.com, and bbing.com sponsors getbig.

my guess is that they have editorial control and felt your post was bad for business and deleted it.  Just a guess tho.

There is a difference between  say, cancer, and a self-induced situation like the one Chrissy finds himself in.  Chrissy takes drugs of all kinds for a living, and you expect everyone to believe this horse shite about a back problem causing him to be in a coma for a month? Dude, get real, the physical symptoms Chrissy described have all the hallmarks of a drug induced stroke.

It could've been a result of too many Caliber Fitness Supplements.

Spinal Infection?????


Its possible that if he was using Synthol and he hit a vein, that it would flow through his nervous system and cause an infection in the spine.


The story given from when he was 19 sounds very suspicious.  But still possible however I've never heard of any case such as this

Very unlikely, the chances are a hundred times greater that it would travel to his heart and induce a heart attack.

HE said that while back, said that is the reason why he doesn't squat heavy or do heavy back exercises. And if you ever look at the BFTO videos that he is in, when it comes to back, he uses different variations on exercises to accommodate his injury.

I know he injured his back when squatting.

But I didn't know he got the injury due to scoping out a chick in the middle of a set. 8)

No, thats not how it works. Its paid off with taxpayers money than they try to get the money back from him. If he doesn't pay the bill the hospitals would recoup the money by higher bills for evryone else. The guy could apply for title 19.

A question for those of us who agree that Chris's story is government-grade bullshit...

Is he lying to keep from getting dumped by his sponsors? To avoid implicating the others who were at the scene?

Or, after a career spent giving interviews about "nutritional programs" etc, is lying simply second nature to him by now?

Some stories have a ring of truth to them, this one, sorry its sounds like total bullshit. 

As usual in bodybuilding, the whole story contradicts itself. The journalists posts a graphic(without any source listed!!) to prove that it was steroid induced, but when asked how Chris is going to get better he says, he is just going to watch his back better. How about never doing steroids again?  And how about asking if the infection was steroid induced or due to intravenous drug use. Isn't that an important point to clear up?

I don't think Chris has anything to lie about.  He has been in the game a long time and put alot of "miles" on himself.  He is knocking on 40 and injuries are a much bigger risk especially when you have done 70 shows.  Obviously he loves to train and compete.  It is unfortuanate that this happened to him when I am sure with Dorian he was finally going to lay all his cards on table and train balls to walls to present what could have been his all time time best at the Olympia.  I wish Chris all the best. Ribonucleic, I am not judging you because I am not perfect, but why be so negative all the time?  You seem to always assume the worst of everyone and never take anyone's word for anything.

Exactly, the infection is in the blood, it only gets there one way. Either roids or IM/IV drugs. IF its roids then its either a dirty needle or dirty gear and the chances are slim it will happen again. But if its iv/im drugs like nubain then hes a fucking idiot and will end up dead eventually.

Medically, can somebody answer these questions medically:

--Why can't he remember 6 weeks worth of memories for an infection?
--Would an infection all of the sudden cause these things (sudden pain, blackout, usable to move, etc)?
--How can a leg workout physically set off these events?
--Why does he need to "learn how to walk again"?  
--Shouldn't it be closer to extrememly painful walking?
--Six weeks later is it plausable that he still has trouble moving his extremedies when his mind tells them to?

1  drug od
2 intravenous/intramuscular blood infection can cause this
3 it cant
4 because hes on so many opiates when he od he could have had a stroke
5 any leg pain is associated with opiate withdrawl..the pain can be unbearable
6 no but he can still be in opiate withdrawl or have complications from a stroke from an od

From a medical standpoint, the story sounds odd.  But its someone without a medical backround trying to explain what happened.  Often pt accounts of the medical story are much different than the medical professionals.  Irrespective of that point, the story still sounds odd.

If he had an infection that settled in his spine, it had nothing to do with his set of leg presses.

Since minority was mentioned again...here are some recent U.S. demographics and trends.  The "minority" concept is getting thinner and thinner.

US Census statistics:

67.4%, or about 199.5 million people reported white or middle eastern
   (did not separate out European from middle eastern or mediteranian)

14.6% reported hispanic

Black or African American 12.8% or 37.8 million,
Asian American 4.2% or 12.4 million,

American Indian 1.4% or 4.1 million
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander 0.2%

Two or more races 2.4% reported

The nation’s Hispanic and Asian populations would triple over the next half century and non-Hispanic whites would represent near one-half of the total population by 2050, according to interim population projections released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Rate of population growth for all whites = 1%
Rate of pop. growth for hispanics = 3.6%
Rate of pop. growth for blacks = 3% (1990-2000)
No statistics on rate of growth of bi-racial individuals, however one article said this category is under reported.

A recent Census Bureau report said that trend probably will continue (increased hispanic US population)because of immigration and a Hispanic birth rate outstripping non-Hispanic blacks and whites.  Reporting may also be under reported because of legal vs. illegal status.

The population growth for Asians ran a close second. Increases in both groups are due largely to immigration, but also higher birth rates, said Lewis W. Goodman, an American University expert on U.S.-Latin American relations

Chris has three more weeks of antibiotics.  After that the infection will be gone and he will be back to normal.  This was caught early so there will be no lasting effects once the infection is gone.  The Dr's have said he can resume training with no limitations in the next 3-4 weeks.

Did Chris take advantage of the IFBB's health insurance?  1 1/2 months in a hospital equals a small fortune.  I know how  medical collection works.  They don't give up on high profile athletes.  Some time soon He's gonna have to deal with it and I just hope He took the coverage offered to IFBB athletes.  Other than that, if the bill doesn't get paid, Chris's is bankrupt.  As screwed up is our health care system is, it's ultimately up to the patient to see the bill's paid or is on his credit.  Sucks when you get older and need anything.  With a bankruptcy, it could make like difficult for 7 years. ???

Yes...yes, bigmike, thats less stressful...and a lot more fun.  

I hate people that truely are racist (ignorant f-ckers) but its bad too when people are obsessed with race and discrimination so that they constantly look for it or use it as excuses.

My whole point is, yes there are still injustices in the world unfortunately (thankfully they are less here in the US) but I see some people stuck on them and the same few with repeated comments from this board.  Sucessful people understand this and move past.  You don't want to be successful, keep complaining...
This applies to a lot of things not just race issues.  I don't give a shit what race I am or what race my friends are, honestly...I just see good people as good people and its important that I surround myself with good people.  I'd like to surround myself with a lot of hot promiscuous women too but my g/f kind of puts the breaks on that one.

punset,

You seem to have a lot of info.  Did you see Chris in the hospital?
Did the infection spread to his spinal chord or something?  Osteomyelitis usually won't cause all those symptoms...unless there was infection or swelling in the spinal chord, which is possible.  Still, I don't see any way its related to the leg presses.

yes I visit Chris in the hospital and have spoken directly with the Dr.  The swelling from the infection is pushing on his back and causing the pain.  It's not really related to the leg press.  It was just a coincidence that we trained legs the day before the pain started.  So until it was discovered that he had an infection we thought that he must have hurt himself on the vertical leg press because he was coming down really deep at the bottom of the movement.

I am not agreeing with the racist stuff, but to point to Condeleza Rice now is ridiculous, she was supposed to be handling the HEzbolah thing and now look what happened. She did a terrible job, wasn't respected by either party, and she failed. I am sure she will resign and turn on Bush for her failure.

   How do you know that she wasnt respected by either party?
   How did she do a terrible job?
Lets make one thing clear. The conflict between Hizbollah and Israel going to go on until an attainable peace can be achieved, i.e. not the glorified photo-ops Clinton went through in the 90's (see Oslo Peace Accords) that did nothing but delay further conflict. You cannot just send some US diplomat in there and expect a quick end. Get with it. The US wants something that will solve the problems, not just push them pack for a bit until more Israeli civilians get rockets launched at them.

Well, if "ship it you stupid f**k" doesn't signify a meltdown, I'd say it at least connotes a few sweat beads on the ice cube.  :)

You seem like a bright sort, actually. So here's some food for thought...

---------

14 Points of fascism

1.)  Powerful and Continuing Nationalism:    Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

2.)  Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights: Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3.) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause:  The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4.)  Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5.)  Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

6.)  Controlled Mass Media: Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

7.)  Obsession with National Security:  Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses

8.)  Religion and Government are Intertwined: Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

9.)  Corporate Power is Protected:  The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

10.)  Labor Power is Suppressed:  Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

11.)  Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

12.)  Obsession with Crime and Punishment: Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations

13.)  Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14.  Fraudulent Elections: Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Post by: GigantorX on August 03, 2006, 10:26:01 PM
I've seen this list before and it does a good job at accurately describing Fascism itself, these points really only bear a passing resemblance to our situation as is right now. All of those points from the military, to nationalism, control of the media etc happen and have been happening for a while...a long while. And are extremely broad and in that, can be bent and skewed to fit anything concerning govt, even a high-school student govt.
  --Labor: unions work against the capitalist system there for conservatives dont like them, plus they have been losing power and unity for a good long while.
  --Military: Even though Eisenhower, rightfully, warned us against the military industrial complex, it has been getting a large amount of funds for a long while as well. Plus the fact that we have plenty of interests around the globe (resources, friendly govts, leverage, some freedom) that need defending. We are the only super-power left on the globe, and thus shoulder the burdens of being the only super-power. Policing actions, foreign policy forays (good and bad) humanitarian relief etc.
  --Sex: conservatives believe different than liberals on this one (because it is not just drawn down party lines, some repubs voted for some against concerning the gay-marrige ban). Gays arent being openly arrested or persecuted by the govt for being gay. Also, this seems to be topic where peoples actual morals etc come into play.
--  Elections: Please do not bring this up. Dems lost, get over it. Their loss has more to do with not knowing how to run a campaign and have a solid message and being able to exploit it than any cheating that went on.
    So, I see it as a good list of 14 points for Fascism. You could lay this out for any nation in the world at one time or another and say "look!!! its happening here!!!!" when it really is a big stretch because you , in my eyes, (correct me if im wrong) view this administration as a perfect fit for these, again, people will see what they want to see. I would love to dig deeper into this but its 12:30am and I'm tired. Oh, and I apologize for the "shit it you stupid f**k" next time I will put a smiley face next to it.

  And how was my grammar?

This is fucked up, i missed nearly everything.  :'(
I was knocked out cold with a cold. Fever and everything, couldn't move and was sweating all the time.

Once my girlfriend told me how long I was in the hospital bed,
I freaked because I had no idea I had been there
for a month and a half 4 hours! I thought it was like a week..."

She didn't want to let me check out even temporarily because they were a little scared of me there. I don't know why, I can't even f*cking move!

The whole situation in the middle east is a disaster....IMO its a two thousand yr holy war.  No one expects Condeleza to fix everything.  Its a world problem.  She is our diplomat in the situation.  Even if the Israeli conflict does not end quickly or smoothly, that does not detract from the fact that Condeleza is a strong intelligent person who deserves everyone's respect.

Lil' Kim doesn't deserve respect, but I won't be passing off on any naked pics...  See, there's a purpose for everyone.

I just kinda found it weird now that instead of wanting to recover as fast as possible and hit the gym to try to compete and bodybuild that he wanted to get out of the hospital to go play videogames and hang out with friends?? Most in his shoes would be wanting to get out to hit the weights and become active not active on the tv with a remote.

Thing is, he said the same people said that his carjacking ::) (it was never by ninjas, only by Asian dudes armed with a gun and "screaming-sticks") bullshit. Even had a fake Police report (Mel Gibson, anyone?)

I wish Chris nothing short of a speedy [100-percent] recovery; and I sure do hope the severity of the situation is no greater than what he claims in Christina Lindley's story .. . .. .

However, something about this story has a foul stench to it and doesn't seem right.

I wsa thinking the same thing (unfortunately).  If I can't move and am going to piss myself, feel my back spasm, and am nearly blacking out in pain - I call 911 while I still have a chance.  Who wouldn't?

BUT if there were drugs in immediate view and he couldn't even get up to move them into a cupboard...  that's probably closer to what happened...  Or perhaps he tried a "self-medication" and thought he would get caught on something.  This isn't to spread rumors - all just guesses.  BUT his story lacks a bit of common sense.


Ok.

Bros--
You guys are just getting too fucked up about this. Make it simple:
1-- He develops osteomyelitis of one of the vetebral bodies in the lumbar region that he had had a vetebral compression fracture of.  Probably Staph.
2-- He then develops a lumbar abscess with epidural involvement. This causes irritation of the nerves below the conus medullaris (end of the spinal cord) in an area known as the cauda equina.
3-- He therefore had a cauda equina syndrome and as a consequence had a mild paraparesis with neurogenic bladder- thus the reason he could not take a piss.

The real issue is how dud he develop the osteomyelitis (infection in the vetebral body)??  Usually you never find out- seen it in something as simple as sinus issues, abscessed teeth, IV or IM
drug use, etc.

Bros--
You guys are just getting too fucked up about this. Make it simple:
1-- He develops osteomyelitis of one of the vetebral bodies in the lumbar region that he had had a vetebral compression fracture of.  Probably Staph.
2-- He then develops a lumbar abscess with epidural involvement. This causes irritation of the nerves below the conus medullaris (end of the spinal cord) in an area known as the cauda equina.

Doc- think Cormier got SCC, from a marjolin's ulcer then treated it via XRT? If I remember correctly it arises from chronic sinus via osteomyelitis, and Cormier was fond of the "nose candy".
-hope your well bro.

Yea see...and people think the poor ol' BlockHead is a racist because I point out the obvious. Cormier is a racist prcik who always plays the race card. I'm sorry if I was a cop and seen a big blcak dude lying ont he ground the first thing I'd think of was a jacking or a crime of some sort until I make an assessment. It's common sense.

 I bet he started text messaging all his 'babyboos' with something like this...'I be trippin...all on the flooor and cant git up...wat u be wearing rite now boo?' Then he probably called one of his ho's and went on with something like this..." ello? ello? awww shiiit watcha doin my babyboo? Just chillin? yea? you miss me boo? awww I be all stuck and crunk up in here..I be trippin...a n-gga feel cripple youknowwhatImsayin? huh? aww who dat be Keisha be cryin? tru dat tru dat...her baby daddy give you child sport'? man fcuk that n-gga any damn way...ay, ay, ay babyboo...call the po'po' fo me...naw...naw call the bambulance youknowwhatImsayin? aww you got another call? aight hurry up, damn!     ello? ello? who be dat? Snap! Im bout to piss all over a n---a up in here...hurry up call me a paramedic up in here...''

 Then while he was in the ambulance he was probably text messaging another btich with a ' wat u be doin boo u miss me babygirl?'

 Let's watch and see how quick MuscleTech drops him like it aint no thang!

HAHAHA Block for the win, I laughed as hard as when you did your famous blue tooth CC stuff
