    How much can you bench press?

    When I weighed 195, I used to do 18-pound barbell curls 5 for 10-12 rep sets. With pretty good form, too. I often did dumbbell curls with 80s.

    How much can you bench press?

    A former 400-pound powerlifter who'd lost his legs, maybe?

    How much can you bench press?

    I was trying to point out the silliness of your idea. You should work on things in the proper proportion. Otherwise, you'll have huge strong biceps, a weak chest and legs, etc. Get it? Your body isn't made to be as strong in a curling motion as in a bench press or a squat; if it is...

    How much can you bench press?

    That's not a smart idea. Your body wasn't designed with that in mind-- you're going to hold yourself back in all areas while you work on your weak link. Make sure you do your trigger-finger exercises. If you didn't start 'em yet, better drop that 80 down to 5 pounds or so until you work...

    Raimi all but confirms Venom as Spider-Man 3 baddie...

    Venom was the crappiest of all Spider-man villains. Every Venom story I have is badly-drawn and badly-written. Anyone who thinks otherwise, give me an issue number and I'll get back to you.

    Hope you're banned for not being able to compose a decent sentence. You broke the same rules by quoting me, idiot.

    Woman Arrested For Having Sex With 16-Year-Old Boy

    Hell, yeah. Why didn't stuff like this ever happen to me? That said, how much would it suck to get herpes or some other nasty thing at 16 from a diseased skank? I know I sure didn't have any self-control at that age.

    I'd love to try out Checker's, but we don't have them in Massachusetts that I know of. Why didn't you include White Castle, outta curiosity?

    Most significant event of all history?

    It's a stupid question. The development of the human race takes place in many interlocking events, many of which could not take place without prior events such as discoveries. If something depends on something else, the depended-upon thing is more important, especially if it enables many...

    Most significant event of all history?

    Most historians agree that he existed, but even if he didn't, I'd have to say (as a non-Christian) that Christianity was essential to the development of Western culture as we know it, and Western culture is far superior to all others.

    chronicles of riddick

    The movie's great if you appreciate it for what it is: a showcase for one of the ass-kickin'est characters ever shown on the big screen. The effects aren't bad, either, although there are some cheesy moments. I can only hear "the Underverse" said with ultra-seriousness so many times without...

    Daunte Culpepper gives a paralyzed high school football player two diamond necklaces worth about $75,000

    Lots of sports figures are basically egotistical a$$holes, making it even stupider to idolize them (aside from the fact that they have skills that are of no real use to society, and are bad role models in many other ways).

    Decisions... buy a TSX or keep the Sentra?

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    Let's go back to drinking. So you say that when you drink, regrettable consequences are expected to happen? Why did you drink, then? If regrettable consequences are expected, and none happened, you were lucky. Drinking is a socially accepted behavior. So is smoking pot, to a lesser...

    CDs ripped to MP3s. Do you have your CDs "out" or in a closet somewhere?

    I ripped my thousands of CDs in a laborious process that lasted months. Now they're in boxes for safekeeping.

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    You've drunk, but never been drunk (or at least impaired)? I flat-out don't believe you, but we have to let it slide because nothing is provable either way, and anyway it doesn't matter. Once you took the first drink, you had impaired judgement; others just weren't so "lucky" as you. Ever...

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    So basically, you've never taken a drink, I take it. And you've never smoked pot, hmm? Well, I say, "Good for you!" Otherwise, you might've been snared into behavior that was much more damaging than it seemed at first. Have you ever made a bad decision, of any sort? I was going to leave...

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    I don't expect you to change your opinion; I'm just playing your game. The spiderwebs represent the impairment of alcohol, etc.-- good times. I hear that lots of addicts try drugs for the first time at parties, where they're presumably already in an altered state. Alcohol removes lots of...

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    If you want to carry it even further, it's as if all their friends were happily frolicking in the quicksand, shouting "Come on in! You'll belong!", and as if alluring members of the opposite sex were hinting at good times to come if they'd just jump in. Also, please imagine spiderwebs...

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    Nope. I understand it must mean the same sort of thing, but where does it come from? Just the fact that it's a fake recovery, with a dry spell in the middle of a drinking spell instead of the other way around? It's a great phrase!

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    Great post. The "shame card"-- never thought about it before, but it fits perfectly with what I know of people in general. It could even be an attempt to pre-apologize for an upcoming lapse.

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    If that's a request for an apology, I have to respectfully decline. You misinterpreted my words, which is okay, but then you followed up by claiming I'm a victim of propaganda, which I never am. I think for myself! Anyway, now I'll potter off to the kitchen and make myself a cup of coffee...

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    Again, I agree with most of what you say, although I'm not so sure that addiction shouldn't be considered a disease. It physically and chemically changes your body; it can be demonstrated in lower animals (none of which are assumed to operate in a moral context); etc. I hate medicalization...

    Why do people 'feel sorry' for drug users? What ever happend to personal freaking choice and responsibility?

    You need to work on reading comprehension and thought skills, Vic. What I did with my second paragraph was gently explain the thought process that gets people to the opposite position. Also, the only link I drew between drug addicts and serial killers was that they both have "screwed-up...

    Subaru Impreza S203

    What I'd really like to see is an STi wagon, and just a tad bit more legroom in all Impreza models. The wagon's just a more useful car-- you can fold down the seats, it's got more headroom, etc. I also don't understand why the wagon is slightly skinnier than the sedan; it's got the same...
