I disagree, the drinking affects everything its not just a case of people having the freedom to drink or not. It affects the way the country runs and the type of people that are going into the workforce. Binge drinking is extremely common here, I dont know about America - but I imagine if drinking was taxed more then alot of things in this country would improve. (less crime, less teenage pregnancy, more productivity, better education results etc)

Christ that tree hugger Cory in D&S is giving me an ass ache. The fuckwad defines an all new level of stubborn. Vedic is all over him like Oprah on baked ham, though.

SO? And this is the point. SO? If someone wants to be a scumbag thats there perojative. It's never anyone else right to tell another person what to do with their own body or property. Vince don't even bother arguing the point with me we will always disagree, if you believe governemnt shoudl control behavior that isn't directly harming another person (and by that I mean hurting them in the first person, not by a chain of events that have correlated behavior)

Bubbles, what happened to the vertical jump contest?

So let's say my Jeep weighs 2,800 lbs. IF I were to park it on a level area and attempt to lift the back end, how much would I be lifting?

Vehicle Length = 151.9 in (3860 mm)

Guesses? Scientific answers?

Ok, here's what I ultimately came up with.

Set up your scale. Get some long heavy object, as long as your vehicle. or as close as possible. The object should weigh at least 200 lbs.
Weigh the object by itself, and weigh yourself separately.
Now stand on the scale and lift one end of the object.
Record that total.

Subtract your body weight.
Then see how much less the object weighed than by itself.
This should give you a percentage.

You can accurately use this percentage to determine how much you will actually be lifting when you lift your Jeep.

I didn't take it seriously.

I'd like to start it up again though. Maybe I'll start an actual contest thread.

How have you been Ted-P?
