I’m Sick

It’s April 25th, almost May and I caught a cold. Crazy, huh?
Good thing I have some Tylenol to cope with the sickness… but I wish the symptoms weren’t this severe… actually, I wish they’d just find a cure already.

My symptoms: Coughs, runny nose, headaches, and fatigued.

When are they going to find a cure for the common cold?! To think we spend so much money on these programs… How long have we worked on the cure for cancer? HIV/AIDS? Who cares about small pox, it’s never coming out of the “vault” there’s no need to waste time on that bullshit. Find me a cure for the common cold already! What about cancer for animals like the Tasmanian Devil? It has the Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumor Disease that scientists have been working on for years!

I have this feeling that these scientists are slacking off hardcore. They get paid and for what? If they majored in that specific field, they should at least be good at it! Do SOMETHING!

Steroids – Why are they banned in sports?

This guy would hit so much better with steroids.

As I flipped through YouTube, I came across a clip of a horse racing stadium with horses getting whipped to run as fast as they can. Then I thought of something genius-something that has been debated over for years; using steroids on athletes (and horses… and other things).

And even if you’re one of those PETA people, just hear me out. (And just ignore the fact that steroids are illegal)

What would you rather have? Horses getting whipped EVERY TIME THEY RACE (and don’t forget about practices) because the guy on top wants it to run faster, OR horses receiving medical help to ENHANCE (though temporary, for now) its physique, thus allowing the horses to run faster?

Now you could say, “but wouldn’t the guy on top whip the horses anyways to go faster??,” and the answer is, “No.”

Notice at the end of the race when everyone is sprinting for the finish, the riders sit low, aiming for the least amount of friction? That’s not the only reason. They’re hanging on pretty tight because they don’t want to fall while the horse is sprinting at 40 miles per hour (50+mph for quarter horses). Yes, 40 miles per hour ON A HORSE.

Stay with me here. Imagine, with the help of today’s medicine, and even tomorrow’s medicine, horses can run faster. Imagine if they could run 20mph faster, or 30, or more! The rider wouldn’t have the chance to whip anything.

Whaaat?! Horses can run faster with steroids?! Of course they can. As a matter of fact, I think the usage of steroids in sports would only help our medicinal technology. If the ban on steroids in sports were to be lifted, the need (or demand) of steroids would go up. And with that much demand, the medicinal market/industry would only work harder to develop better steroids. Maybe steroids that could help us humans live longer. I’m getting side tracked, lets get back on steroids and sports.

So. Why are steroids banned? People like to see stronger, faster, better records. I would much rather see a horse race where the horses can run 80mph than a horse race with horses at half that speed, a mere 40mph. Think of any kind of sports. Wouldn’t sports be MORE entertaining with BETTER athletes or is it just me with that thought?

Anyways, lets steer off on the side a bit. If the Olympics, for example, allowed the use of steroids, it would just make the world a better place.

Why? Look, every COUNTRY in the WORLD would try to make better steroid for their athletes. Why? They want their athletes to be number one. Why? So it shows that their country is the best in the world [in that field] and show off the size of them balls. And who wouldn’t want big balls? (Ironic?)

The development of new, better steroids could only lead to better medicine for tomorrow. Or is it? I don’t know, it’s just a thought by one Korean guy, so why would the rest of the world care?
