are steroids any different?
« on: June 26, 2009, 03:58:34 PM »
Chicks do shit to make themselves artificially look better all the time.  Anything from hair curling, collagen injections, implants, tanning, push up bras, applebottom jeans, etc....

It's fake and most of us love it anyways.  So why hate on steroids?

I don't understand why so many people here give a shit about what other people may put in their body.

I don't know why or if this makes sense, but I am anti-steroids in sports because it is against the rules.  No other reason.  I would prefer athletes of spectator sports take steroids and it be allowed, because that would be more entertaining.  For whatever reason though I am such a stickler for rules probably because of my job and following protocol is really imperative for success....
But for recreational use I fully support all drug use even though it is against the law.  Does that make any sense?

Yes, they are different.  Female vanity makes changes on the surface without altering body function.  Steroids make superficial changes but also impact how your body works.  When it's legal for women to take clen but illegal for men to take clen, then you can compare apples to apples.

It's a victimless crime tho.  It's your body and you should be allowed to take whatever you want, but if you think the only impact steroids have on your body are those you can see then you haven't done your research.  Know the risks & make a decision, but don't look for bullshit justifications like women being allowed to get implants.  The one has nothing to do with the other.

If it were a few here and there, it's one thing...when millions of people are fake...it's get redundant, much like my posts on the matter.
When the majority of C cups are fake, people get tired of it.  Same with gear.

I'm comparing the reasoning.  People say steroids is cheating and is "fake" muscle, etc....  Rarely bringing up the effects on the body as their reason for disliking the use so my argument is completely valid.  If you read my post more carefully you would see I approve steroid use for vanity but not for sports use when the sports organization disallows it specifically.

Sure, other activities carry risk too, but the question presented is 'are steroids different?' and the answer is yes, they are different.  They alter endocrine function.

Whether they are a greater or lesser risk than surgery or tanning is another matter.  I'm just tired of seeing guys grasping for justifications.  Someone who makes an informed decision to use wouldn't base his decision on 'logic' this kind.

I see what you're saying Keg but a personal decision to use should be based on an informed acceptance of risks vs benefits.  What other people are allowed to do in the name of vanity is a non issue imo.

You hardly ever see a guy who says he understands the risks and accepts them.  Users are forever throwing up justifications and rationalizations or simply lying about use.  Almost no one just straight up owns up to steroid use.

Cigarettes are a perfect example.  Would you say cigarettes are more or less dangerous than steroids?  Risk vs benefit?  I think cigarettes are less reward for even greater risk, yet you can buy smokes just about anywhere.

Dude this is exactly what I'm talking about.  Cigarettes are bad for you but they're legal.  Fine, but it has nothing to do with steroids.  We're not presenting a case to change the law based on relative risks.  You're just seeking a justification.  The point is that you don't need one.  It's your body.  Make an informed decision and own it without any bullshit.

So breastfeeding with implants is ok and doesn't inhibit bodily function or increase risk to the baby.

Fail.

My body makes it's own decisions pretty much without my help.  Ever wake up with morning wood?  Makes you want to take some dbols and smoke a cigarette doesn't it?
