Its not like Billy-Bob is down there with his moonshine in one hand and a wrench in the other trying to fix this problem.

No, but it's their region, their ecosystem, their livelihood. And they're fucking it up.

Pfft, sorry if I don't feel more sympathetic to a bunch of hillbillies who care more about their own jobs than they do their environment. Nor am I going to feel sorry for a lot who repeat their own mistakes. Get off this fucking oil already, it's doing more damage than you can possibly imagine.

LOL

The oil spill was created by a bunch if hicks, in the southern states, surrounding the Gulf of Mexico, right?

OR...

It was created by a MASSIVE multi-national corporation that acquired the right to drill for oil there, and sadly fucked up big-time, and had no proper disaster plan.

Or am I way off?

And who invited them in? A foreign business doesn't just waltz in to another sovereign nation, especially not the US and start drilling their resources away. Someone had to approve of it. And the Southerners embraced it with open arms, and took the jobs that were created from offshore rigs. They were the ones doing the grunt work in the first place, contributing to what is now one of the greatest ecological disasters in my country's history.

And did they learn anything from it? Did they take the time to stop and say "Gee whiz Jim Bob, you think we done goofed in this heare oil drillin's?" Nope. They couldn't wait to get that moratorium lifted and start drilling once again. So you tell me, why shouldn't they take part of the blame?

Have fun picking up more tar balls on your beaches and enjoying more sights such as this. I'm sure your tourist clientele will appreciate it.

It's an international drilling contract, that the US makes serious bank from. You're kidding yourself if you think it wasn't a federal decision, rather than a state decision.

Laugh at the dying Pelicans, it's YOUR country, sunshine. It's YOUR eco-system that one of the big (UK) oil companies just fucked a large part of. Enjoy it while you can

But yes, it's the people in the south that are to blame. All the fishing businesses that lost their livelihood. All the tourist areas that no one wants to visit any more, because oil-slicks don't look as good in the background of their "we just got married" pics. Much easier that way.

Those hick losers

Hey, if those Southerners want to continue in the mantra of "Drill Baby Drill" then they can deal with the consequences as well. Federal level or not, they still have the power to do something to change it. Don't shoot the messenger, I didn't cause those slicks. But if they want to keep repeating their mistakes, then I will continue to point and laugh.

Also, no pelicans here in Cali that are covered in oil. Everything still looks nice and clean here. It's safe to say I'm still enjoying my portion of the country.
