I never understood why Prince would RENT a house when he's got so much money and Paisley Park in MN sitting empty. But I guess I should stop trying to figure out why he does what he does. . .

I heard from friends who live there he used to be a huge Steroid user, if you see pics of him, clearly he is with all those huge pimples!

crazy on TV just now. So, I'm watching the Utah Jazz play the Denver Nuggets tonight on ESPN (for my non-US orgers these are two basketball teams) and they're about to tip off and they played Let's Go Crazy in the arena. And it could be my imagination, but I think Carlos Boozer, a player for the Jazz got a crazy look on his face.

Didn't Prince rent his house in LA and leave it a wreck after all those 3121 parties???? I guess he's still pissed. . .

Pimples equal steroid use? C'mon, you guys are much brighter than that...hopefully.

an orger will come along (sometimes here, most times in the GD forum),

What Are the Common Effects?
Steroids can make pimples pop up and hair fall out. They can make guys grow breasts and girls grow beards. Steroids can cause livers to grow tumors and hearts to clog up. They can even send users on violent, angry rampages. http://men.webmd.com/guid...c-steriods

Steroids promote acne.(1,2) Anabolic steroids stimulate the production of oils in the skin, known medically as "sebum".(2) The oils or sebum produced is a fertile nutrient bath for several different types of bacteria. If an infection develops, there may be severe scarring and reactions from the body's immune system.(2) A 21-year-old steroid user developed severe acne after 4 weeks of anabolic steroid use.(1) His acne became infected with "Staph" and "Propionibacterium acnes." Toxic chemicals produced by these bacteria caused a severe immune reaction that sent him to the hospital for several weeks. http://www.anabolicsmall....oidb3a.htm

In January 2006, Boozer initiated legal proceedings against music star Prince.[3] The dispute involved a Los Angeles home owned by Boozer through his corporate entity, C Booz Multifamily I LLC, and being leased by Prince. In the lawsuit, Boozer's corporation alleged that Prince had had several unauthorized alterations performed on both the exterior and interior of the house. Attorneys for Prince denied the allegations and noted that the December and January rent payments for the property had been accepted "without objection".

The two sides apparently reached a subsequent agreement, as Boozer's corporation asked in February that the suit be dismissed. The dismissal was granted "without prejudice", meaning that it could have been reinstated later if Boozer had had further complaints. However, the remainder of Prince's tenancy at the residence proceeded without incident.

So I was wrong in thinking they're much brighter than that?

Because if people are foolish and ridiculous enough to think that "pimples means you use roids" then I sure would like to know what happened to the pimples on:

Barry Bonds
Mark McGwire
Sammy Sosa
Jason Giambi
Jose Conseco
Rafael Palmiero
Lyle Alzado
Tony Mandarich
Brian Bozworth
Fernando Vargas
And damn near all of the professional wrestlers

Because they sure do/did have clear complexions devoid of "pimples" at least.

Uh, yeah it often does. . . severe acne on the face, shoulders and back is a tell tale sign of acne especially when it's sudden. I watched Carlos play for Duke for 3 years and I don't remember his skin looking THIS bad. Oh, btw, it is possible to disagree/question a comment without insulting people's intelligence.

And, according to WebMD"

CosmicTalk said:

Many people that use steroids ALSO take strong anti-acne medications to combat the severe acne that most not all users get. Also, the acne is more prevalant on the body than on the face, like on the back and shoulders.

Besides, have you never heard of makeup? Prince isn't the ONLY man on the planet that wears makeup and there's also waterproof, body makeup that could be used to cover up severe acne.

So unless you were taking showers with ALL of the aforementioned players YOU really don't know if they had "clear complexions" or not. Again, no need to insult someone's intelligence just because you have a different opinion.

SCNDLS said:

Actually, you missed my point completely: I never said he wasn't on roids, I just said it was foolish and reckless to think that JUST because someone has pimples that means they're on roids. That's ludicrous and ignorant to say the least. Simple as that. Unless you have undeniable proof that he was on roids, don't start spreading rumors like that solely based on ridiculous evidence as "pimples" when acne in adults is more prevalent than acne from roids.

Bottomline: Get PROOF he's on roids other than "he has pimples".

CosmicTalk said:

First of all, I didn't say he used steroids but the person that did said that he knew people who know Carlos and said he did which was more that just the pimples. But this is all irrelevant since this is a fan site that deals largely in speculation and rumors so to expect anyone to have verifiable proof of anything on here is kind of stupid. We're just having a general discussion and proof is not usually available.

SCNDLS said:

If you aren't saying he did roids then why are you posting WebMD info trying to show proof that acne can be a sign of roid usage?

And just because it's a fan site to where SOME people choose to willingly post rumors doesn't mean it's ok for YOU to engage in it nor does it mean it's ok for ANYONE ELSE to do it. Be above that sort of messy stuff. Spreading rumors is for suckas.

CosmicTalk said:

I guess you don't read entire responses because I didn't say he did steroids in any of my posts. You said that acne does not = steroids and just wanted to show that acne IS one of many side effects of steroid use, hence the posting of WebMD proof. So you're barking up the wrong tree. . . still.
