I think he was a fake when he said that he was as chaste as the virgin mary.

Perturbed that someone pointed out, that you didn't notice, or that it wasn't included? You put them on the list so you still recommend them now...and evidently you really liked them before it was pointed out...

Have you seen footage of him lately? If so do you agree that he has that "fried manic" look of those gone over the edge of sanity on steroids?

Well, he is 60 years old, he may be not as goodlooking as he used to be. There is no need to blame steroids on it. And he is doing pretty well, with his latest film Rocky 6.

Even Schwarzenegger had admitted to using steroids. And he is the governor, elected the second time. There is no problem with him as well.

I think you are jealous of the fact that women are attracted to them, and not to you.

Ok niranjan u self-important fool, you wanna trade insults go ahead. Maybe the reason you so keen on Rocky and Rambo is because you associate with this 1 against the world idea. You think yourself superior in ever aspect based on your threads on these forums. But truth is your an irrelevant little jumped up fool with a keyboard. So go on....say what you like. You can only think you know who I am. But you reveal yourself with every word. So keep your head firmly stuck right up your own arse where it seems so very very comfortable.

News Flash

There maybe some truth in the statements of sports figures, "To my knowledge I never took steroids". It has been recently discovered that steroids are not only found in over the counter opthmalmic medicines but many prescriptions for pets and humans that don't mention anabolic steroids on their labels. In addition these can be absorbed through the skin in handling these medications. To add fuel to this fire since 1985 most beige/tan keyboards are made from plastics which contain ingredients which are found in steroids....could 'roid rage have converted itself into keyboard rage/forum rage, whereby computer users make rash decisions and lash out at seemingly innocuous comments....story at 11

ever wonder how urban legends get started? me too.

we interupt this post for an important bulletin....

the colour of your keyboard is an indication of the aomunt of steroids contained in the plastic, the darker the keyboard the more ingredients in common with steroids...

Well, getting back to the subject of this thread, I also wish to say that Rocky is a spiritual film, even though there is no religious element in it.

Spirituality doesn't need religion to manifest itself.

And Rocky Balboa, who fights for his dignity and self-respect against the world champion Apollo Creed, and goes the full fifteen rounds in the ring , in spite of the intense punishment he got from his superior adversary, shows the human spirit dominating matter and rising above limitations in all its glory.

While reading this , envisage the soundtrack of Rocky, the Italian Stallion.

I was rather young when I first saw/heard them, around 9 or 10. I wasn't at that point skilled in the discernment of biblical accuracy, but I liked the music. It was only in camp several years later while me and this girl were singing "Everything is Alright" that a camp counselor asserted that JCSS and Godspell were satanic because it didn't include the resurrection in either of them. I still like the music anyway.

Actually, I rented out Godspell recently and it actually follows the book of Matthew in lyric form rather accurately. I was more perturbed at a scene where they are dancing in top of one of the then unfinished towers of the World Trade Center. Just struck me odd, what with the steel construction clearly seen and bringing images of it all in rubble after 9/11.

JCSS doesn't move me the same way. It seems to portray Jesus as confused and paranoid. Still the songs are pretty cool for an Andrew Lloyd Webber composition.
