- I'm sorry, you have got to be ignorant. I'm all for more funding for R&D and
- all that, but you do not need to waste money doing a stupid study on steroids
- and aggression. All you have to do is walk into your local Gold's. Talk to
- people. I have friends that are two and three years younger than me (18-21)
- that are on steroids. Their attitudes SUCK and I can't stand being around them.
- Every now and then they grab their sides or their chests in pain, because their
- kidneys are so clogged and their cardiovascular system needs Roto Rooter!
- Someone I know is now in jail for beating the living shit out of some guy due
- to a driving mistake made on a back road. The guy lost his temper so bad, that
- he put his fists through both windows and with windshield of this other guys
- car. The other guy had two little babys in the back seat. This guy I know take
- s mega amounts of steroids. But you're probably, right, he only lost his temper
- because the other guy wouldn't shove the needle into his ass for him! Wake up
- and sniff the coffee pal.
