Rhetorical question, Big: do you feel the same way about actors or actresses who get face lifts or boob jobs--that they're immoral?

Yes, if they are Christian and they claim Christians should never do plastic surgery.

So was Rocky on a crusade that we should not use drugs?

I am not blaming Stallone for anything. He just lost respect in my eyes that's all. If you take steroids, don't make movies about how pure, healthy training can get you the right results.

That is my opinion and I am sticking to it. Take it or leave it. That is my moral.

Absolutely! He ate raw eggs in the movie. Why eat raw eggs when there are growth hormones? He made the Russian in Rocky IV look like an immoral drug freak. Yet, Stallone is full of steroids himself.

Ah. I dont' think I ever saw Rocky IV.

Rocky flies to a remote and rustic part of the Soviet Union to train; to help with his training he brings Apollo's former trainer Tony "Duke" Evers and his brother-in-law Paulie. Training runs for several months, with Rocky using more humble methods like chopping wood, running up snowy embankments, and lifting huge rocks; Drago is using the most modern equipment coupled with regular injections of anabolic steroids. During one of his runs, Rocky returns to find Adrian waiting for him. With Adrian providing more reason to succeed, Rocky begins to train even harder.

I always saw ET as a religious symbol more so than Rocky.

LOL Big. Okay, I see where you're coming from.

Laws don't determine morality, suppose a law was passed that made obesity illegal, BIG would be guilty (and immoral) while I would be virtuous and pure (6'5" 200 pounds). Meanwhile, it's OK to deliver babies breach and stick scissors in their head, since it's legal it's moral, right? I don't think so.

People like Stallone and Eastwood are at the forefront of anti-aging research, they look good for a reason, growth hormone and hormone replacement therapy. Everyone today who gets orthoscoptic (sp?) surgery can thank "over priced" athletes for that, in the future you may be thanking Stallone and others for a longer healthier life.
