I cant believe this BP shit..

shhhhhhh eeple

 

this is becoming such a mess...

 

my oncle draw a plan and it was accepted he even talked to the withe house guys and all
hopefully his plans will work lol

 

plant cannabis.. everywhere.. its fibers can be used to make booms and rope, soaking material.. ah.,. whats the use.. fuck them pelicans.

 

at this point, it's way beyond mess. the implications of this spill are exponentially increasing, with every day the leak/geyser continues to gush out oil. it's expected to get up to north carolina. if it goes for months...ireland, and even parts of africa. it's already a nightmare.

i'm sure the next phase of my life is going to invovle long term clean up of some area that was drastically affected by this insanity. i don't know how soon it will be, but i feel it has to happen.


have you guys seen the pictures of the turtles?

this would be a perfect opportunity for obamas supposed economic stimulus

pay ANYBODY that was to go down and help out airfare and a decent working wage for whatever hours they want to work. imagine how many unemployed people would go down there and get a bunch of money to pump back into the economy, and if employed folks went down it would leave open jobs back home

but you know that wont ever happen, as the government only wants to pump money into city workers and federal employees, not ever your average laborer whos backs the rest of the country rides on

this whole situation is bad, it's not like theres any positive aspects of it. but quite honestly people, there are much worse things going on in the world these days than a bunch of animals getting oily and you having to pay more for shrimp

you never know maybe evolution will breed a new oil resistant breed of bird and fish!!!! maybe even EAT OIL OH SHIT then they could sell even more oil to people as petfood

oh and i have an idea to stop the leak, plug it with iraqi POWs

 

I dunno about giving control of BP to LA, historically, LA has a fairly corrupt government, kind of like giving BP to Shell Oil.

 

how much money did you raise? how long you planning on being down there?...

Cause even if I want to take a week, Im probably looking at a couple grand at least, and thats with camping.. well It might be cheaper if I take a bus or something.. I dont know if there are any organizations that could help with that?

I dont know how to get this done, but I really wish I could

CNN just said they had resources for how we can help, all I could find was some bullshit telling us to recycle and ride a bike instead of drive.. Ill look into it more later.. but any info on how I can volunteer would be great

and although BP was drilling this test rig.. the MMS is more at fault for not doing their environmental impact studies etc. simply because BP said an explosion would be "unlikely"

i don't know if you're trying to stick up for obama with this post but.... really? he takes weeks to respond and when he finally does he does NOTHING. it baffles me as to why such a large help force was given to haiti yet nothing is allocated to preserving the god damn earth. and this isn't some tree hugging bullshit this is entire oceans and entire ecosystems... oh obama you're so great, yeah BP sucks so bad so why don't we just use our private jet to fly out to boston to get some god damn chicken wings while the entire gulf coast goes to shit. GOOD PLAN!!!!!!!

 

i agree more people should be concerned, but well over a billion dollars has already been spent by BP.

BP has handled this shittily too. i think the govt. should have stepped in in the beginning

 

well over a billion spent yet shit is still spilling all over the place.

does pissing money away fix things? no. i wouldn't be surprised if you were a fan of the commercial too

 

our economy is ruined. no one is gonna be able to fish in that gulf. not for a long long time. and when a hurricane comes, sloshin all that oil around in the gulf, we're gonna be covered in it too. fuck bp i cannot believe this shit is still going on. someone needs to take over and get this fixed.

 

come to louisiana!!

 

Point taken... and leaving any government as custodian of the operations of the company is a guarantee that little if any money actually reaches the pockets most in need as a result of the disaster.

It just seems obscene to me that the company can be making any profits whatsoever after absolutely wrecking the livelihoods of so many people... not to mention laying waste to an economy... and the money fallout isn't nearly as important as the environmental implications. The sum total of the entire response by BP subsequent to the explosion is consistent with a soulless entity unconcerned about how its actions affect others except where the disclosure of those actions (or lack thereof) hurts the corporate image....

Basically like most other corporate "citizens" operating in the United States as well as the rest of the world.... with governments enabling it. We had eight years of pledges to "break our addiction to oil" concurrent with policies and bills passed that only deepened that very addiction... and no one bothered to call the Bush administration on that transparent bullshit. Meanwhile his evil henchman Dick Cheney slipped a bit of deregulation into an energy bill that no longer required a critical safety valve in deep sea drilling operations- a safety device mandated elsewhere in the world but not here in the corporate friendly United States.... and this was a measure to save costs by eliminating occasional inconvenient shut-offs which cut slightly into their profits. Apparently the oil friendly United States government decided that safety devices were unnecessary burden to profits and remote control alternatives "needed more study"- a euphemistic way of killing potential regulations.

Of course the government would rather not have its citizens be aware of its role in this. Just because they have the capability to fashion legal detours around "bothersome" regulation magically legalizing such things doesn't make them any less criminally liable... your assertion that Louisiana politics is notoriously corrupt may well be true but I maintain that the biggest criminal racket- over and above the dealings on the Mississippi delta is that located in Washington, D.C..

How this is being characterized as anything beyond a criminally negligent act on the parts of both BP and the federal government is beyond me.

 

thank god they delivered some good news recently.
i've been glued to CNN for weeks, stressing myself out and telling everyone how brutal this is... and I live in Canada!!! I can't even imagine how the people who live around the spill are coping. Poor America.

AND POOR BIRDS, not going to lie, seeing the babe walk out of the ocean covered in oil totally made me cry.

just like Obama said, just cap the damn thing

 

thanks to george bush there isn't much separation between oil companines and federal government

 

Well- yeah but I don't really see having more than half of the oil still gushing into the gulf as good news... of course they'll see being able to capture 20-40% of it for profit as good news.

They are still criminals.

 

I'm pissed too. I bought a new bong, got it delivered today and the slide/bowl is already smashed! give me a chance

so they said they'll deliver another one.. can't wait.

then i was playing my ps3 today and was working fine and then the sound started being weird. I turn it off and on and now it won't read any of my disks. fuuuuuuck. i'll have to buy a new 1
