Partly. Sometimes you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelete. ;) |

Oh and dubstep. Never have I seen a generation of EDM fans become so dumbed down by that wobbly dribble. I wish it was 2003 all over again. |
On this point, I agree absolutely..
But about everything else, I'd still like to know why you blame the southerners for BP's up... |

You're a fucking idiot. |

Yes. Oil has been holding this country back for decades. I will not miss the giant rigs and oil refineries that continue to pollute this world and make only a select few wealthy while the rest suffer. If some have to lose their positions in order to accomplish that then so be it. Why would you still want them to operate? Would you like a mega quake to hit and take out the rigs, causing massive slicks in the Pacific coast? You're only fooling yourself if you don't think that's possible. |
:stongue:
Oil has been holding this country back for decades? Last time I checked, oil has been the engine that has driven the worlds largest and most productive economy for decades. You may not like that inconvenient fact, but it's the truth. We get 1% of our nation's energy from wind and solar power, 30% from nuclear. Are you suggesting our economy would be generating even more than $15 trillion annually if we weren't using oil? Because I refuse to believe you are that dumb. The oil industry currently employs over 9 million people in this country. What kind of stupid ing sense are you trying to make by saying the economy would be better off shutting that down?
Does the word "practical" mean anything to you? We can't power our economy on alternative energy because it is not practical. Obtaining practical energy sources we need to run the economy has inherent risk built in, and there's nothing you can do to change that. Do-gooders like yourself live in an irrational world driven by emotion, who seem to believe that by wishing something "to be" with good intentions, if a consensus of people also wish it to happen, then it should happen. Utopia does not exist. YOU CANNOT TAKE THE RISK OUT OF LIFE. |

COR Version: Gulf coast holds 100 mile long oil slick again.

I don't think those people have any control over what a multi-national corporation does hundreds of miles offshore. |

The minute the moratorium was lifted, it was back to business as usual all over again. Now these guys are making the same mistakes again. It's like they're hell bent on taking out the gulf coast and all its inhabitants out for good. |
You are so wrong about this remark, that it's painfully sad. Let's follow the timeline:
1) In May, Obama instituted the 6 month moratorium. There were 55 operating rigs before the BP explosion.
2) By May 28th, there were 46 operating oil rigs.
3) When it was time to lift the moratorium, on paper it was lifted but no new drilling permits were allowed. NONE.
4) In January, a Federal judge ruled that the Obama administraiton was in contempt of court for not allowing new permits, or providing a reason why it wasn't.
5) 2 weeks after that, the same Federal judge demanded a 2nd time to begin the permitting process, as over 20,000 jobs had been lost and 7 oil rigs uprooted and left for other places to drill.
6) Irony of ironies: as of today, only 2 permits have now been authorized, 1 of them to BP (the other for a previously approved company).
7) As of today, there are now only 25 operating rigs, down from 55 prior to the BP disaster.
Even Bill Clinton is blasting Obama over the continued, and illegal, drilling delays!! ---> http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0311/51150.html
Just when you couldn't look like a bigger uninformed fool.... |
