caffeine is a stimulant and gives energy.. so it can help you to lift more and push yourself more..

you wont die but there are better stimulants out there. personally i think coffee before a workout would make me puke.
succeeding is not enough, others must fail.

It's fine...I find it very useful when I have morning workouts. A nice big mug of strong coffee gets feeling ready to go.
As a sidenote, if you avoid coffee/caffeine during other times and don't drink it casually during the day, it'll have a much greater effect when you DO use it.

I don't see any problem taking caffeine before a workout and I routinely take a couple of Vivarin before lifting. IMHO though, I cant see how anyone can drink coffee before their workout. The nasty aftertaste and drymouth that never seems to go away is absolutely awful.

Then there are the wolves and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy. Do you believe there are wolves out there who will feed on the flock without mercy? You better believe it. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial.
