+ 6 ~ A Philosophical Question ~

ad

We currently have a contest brewing in the ARENA
http://www.eroids.com/og/the-arena/foolmeonce-vs.-gorillafit

Check out the stats on each contestant, I'm adding their ages because that's the crux of my question:

GorillaFit- Starting date: 9-22-13
Starting Stats- 206lbs 8-12% bf
Age: 51

FoolMeOnce- Starting date : 9-18- 13
Starting Stats- 202lbs 11-14% bf
Age: 19

Here's a recent post I made on that thread:

This arena is awesome. Yet, on one hand I love the angst created from the EBC thread and now carried over to this Arena, the 30 plus year age difference, and the raw contention. On the other hand, I keep coming back to the fact that Foolmeonce is only 19 and this competition could be very dangerous for him. It's seriously like corrupting a minor. Not a minor legally, but certainly in the world of AAS. And yet again, when someone is warned over and over, and just ignores the factual dangers and has that 'that won't happen to me' attitude no matter how much effort is used to dissuade him, then I have no problem watching them destroy themselves. It's a cruel world and survival of the fittest is the predominant rule. Food for thought.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTION: (Edit: original is below - edited question is the second question)
As implied in my above post, what's your take on the potential for FoolMeOnce to permanently damage himself?
The potential danger for FoolMeOnce is irrefutable. Should he be given a platform such as The Area and all the attention and subsequent motivation and encouragement?

My opinion is that he's already on a crash course for serious problems, and this competition is going to accelerate his potential demise. Conversely, I don't care very much. Why? Because he's been warned countless times by people on this site who are absolute gurus. And I rarely use that word to describe anyone, but we're honored and privileged to have many. I'm not talking about Karma points either. Some have a ton, others have little. It's about knowledge and real world experience and the willingness to share and educate. But education is a two way relationship. The student must be receptive and heed accordingly. The above is a case where we have a non-receptive student. And my final thought is: let nature run its course. Brutal as it is at times, like watching a lion run down an antelope and eat it alive.

What are your thoughts?

Absolutely true and +2 for calling it out! I hope this puts a stop to it. But if not to me it promotes irresponsibility in the highest form. For those of us who genuinely care about the health of those who use aas. I can't see how anyone could remain silent.

Thank you brother.

Permanent harm. I agree, but at what point do you stop caring, if ever?
