another lefty troll.........

7 posts in a day, for a [bleep] newb, and this is all the dipscheit has to say:

Well, I must've left my tinfoil off last night, or the government has finally developed little rays that go right through it, 'cause I don't suspect any conspiracy here.

Another conspiracy theory from Rush. That helps. And BP is doing everything humanly possible to repair whatever happened, but they don't seem to have a clue, except to call the Coast Guard, and their stock is falling. Now that's important.

Oh, how about this not being a major spill even if it takes a year to cap? I read that on here or the saltwater forum yesterday.

In an effort to show just how serious we are about stopping oil exploration and drilling, I say we stop using carbon based fuels immediately.

I'll wait for you to set the example, then I'll join in.

How was oil discovered? It was pools of oil above graound and animals were constantly getting in them and dying. If man had not refined the oil those above ground pools would still be a problem taoday. It is acctualy un-natural not to have animal getting oil soaked

Most do not know the history of oil apparently

Steve is correct. For those of you that think ti is a simple matter to close in this well nuder water, then be my guest and close it off, never mind the danger associated with doing so.

Just remember that I am big oil! I am a shareholder and I suspect that you are too if you have any mutual funds. Big oil is not really any different from small oil, just the number of owners.

BP has a pretty lousy reputation in the US, on many levels. This is kind of like payback....for their stupid greenie commercials they've been running, and their cozying up to the carbon credit/AGW scam artists here and in England trying to buy political cover.

If you're going to be an oil company, grow a pair and act like one, instead of a flower shop. And take care of your business, instead of this amateur hour they've got going.

Riding and or driving an automobile is a far greater risk to your health

Offshore oil is a disaster: Our fishing and seafood and health are at risk

I got a good chuckle out of that..thank you !

I allways wonder about these containment issues with oil, I mean it completely seperates itself from water doesn't tend to blend with any other nonvolitile liquids is less dense than water why not drop a a hvy fkn inverted funnel over the leak with pipe attached and pump it off till the bop can be clipped. 5000 feet gents ain't that deep with todays tech. I can see the pipe debri bein a bitch though. I just keep hearing these horror stories repeated over and over, I think we have to think huge containment contraptions, funnels for well leaks, huge vacuums, and agitators, [bleep] old walmart floaty rafts just aren't ever gonna cut it, booms either.

I do believe that bp is doing what they can but even more than that I believe there is a lot that could be devised adn created for these type of scenarios, oil containment etc, surrounding it and burning is about a dipshit idea if there was one. You gotta catch it at the root somehow.

You know most people think BP stands for British Petroleum. According to BP it stands for Beyond Petroleum. Those who work for BP know that it means Brown Petroleum. Those that know Lord Brown, know that it actually stands for Brokeback Petroleum. So there isn't a pair there to grow, and flower shops...well....

I know some guys who represent BP in Houston who fought tooth and nail to keep Brown from being subpoeaned for a trial over there because they didn't figure a poofter peer would go over very well with a Texas jury.

Yeah, sounds like friggen politics; Texas maybe should have stayed independent; at least we'd have cleaner water and fewer illegal aliens from MX.

Yeah you can't even harvest seafood without oil in the boat engine.

just talked to a buddy who is a high muckety muck in Exxon.....all the majors are trying to help BP figure out how to cork this thing. they are scared to death that the Obama admin will use this to shut in the whole Gulf.

hussein might want to shut down the Gulf, but China, Russia, Mexico, Venezuela, Iran and a host of others are drilling night and day for the oil.

Losers of course.................. America

The latest news is really sad and is expected to get worse:

ALL fishing East of the MS River has been shut down

Those who are shrimpers , commercial fisherman, fishing guides, bait shop owners, boat launches, Marinas, hotels, etc...... are non-operational right now and receiving NO money due to this oil spill

praying that winds blow the oil more Easterly towards the MS, AL, FLA beaches. Oil is much easier removed from sandy beaches vs. marsh grass

90 percent of all the marine species in the Gulf of Mexico depend on the Louisiana coastal estuaries and marsh at some point in their lives

Louisiana produces 50 percent of the nation's wild shrimp crop, 40 percent of its blue claw crabs and 60 percent of its oysters .




just a few pics to share w/ my brothers


pics from Sun 4-25-10 ; oil slick was 100 miles long x 45 miles wide




notice how small the ships are



pics from 4-29-10 ; eeerily resembling a Hurricane




on Thursday the oil slick was @ 1150 sq miles in ircumference, by noon Saturday , it has tripled to 3850 sq miles ... mainly due to winds


general idea of what's going on

It will be hard to change careers now from fishing to cleaning shores, rocks,oil soaked critters etc..probably for many years to come. There will still be employment but of a different kind. There will also be big shortfalls of seafoods and expect a big price increase there also with Vietnam, Thailand, India, and other countries filling the orders.
Feel bad, for the good people of these coastal areas.
Divine help is needed for sure on this one.
