Im not trying to live down shit. Barry Bonds "cheated". But cheating is american as apple pie. And its been going on in sports for CENTURIES. If its so sickening to you, take up stamp collecting.

actually, yeah it kinda is. TRAFFICKING of steroids is normally a pretty lenient penalty. Personal use, even more lenient. Steroid users dont get locked up for years on end.

You're trying to paint Barry Bonds as an axe murderer, which is just as insane as the folks that claim he's a black role model. You wanna lock him up and throw away the key - but what actual HARM has this guy really done? Should people who smoke weed get the death penalty too?

you misread me again. I said that AIDS isn't the only clinical population that uses GH treatment. Its prescribed for a wide variety of purposes, among those its prescribed for are rich middle aged men and women that are trying to find the "fountain of youth" by getting a few wrinkles off their face. For them, its essentially like getting plastic surgery. Should you demonize them as well? After all, that medicine could be going to a needy AIDS patient, right?

The availability of GH isn't the slightest bit limited and its available for anyone that wants it (or who can afford it). So enough with the retarded assumptions, PLEASE.
