Whats your opinion on the Oil Spill? - General

I personally am from Florida, and would like to know your opinion, suggestions, ideas, or anything about Bp's Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

4chan is the best

I don't really care about it, but I can see why it'd be a bigger deal if I lived closer to it.

Leave BP alone and clear up the mess, this has been my stance from day 1.

[QUOTE=radioactive;22737838]Leave BP alone and clear up the mess, this has been my stance from day 1.[/QUOTE] I think BP would be left alone a lot more if they did a little more to help keep it under control.

[QUOTE=PieClock;22737832]I don't really care about it, but I can see why it'd be a bigger deal if I lived closer to it.[/QUOTE] Uh, you should. Even if you don't live in the effected areas. The price for gas can possibly go up, peoples lives and way of life are effected and possibly ruined. Ecosystems are destroyed along with various types of wildlife, people die (Oil rig accidents) etc, Local state and government are effected due to money issues relating to lack of tourism and having to pay to keep their area clean. [QUOTE=radioactive;22737838]Leave BP alone and clear up the mess, this has been my stance from day 1.[/QUOTE] Leaving them alone and having no oversight of BP's operations is what caused this mess, leaving them to clean it up is a horrid idea. Yes they should be responsible and have to PAY every single cent relating to this whole incident, but leaving them alone would accomplish nothing.

Throw a match in!

I feel it's pretty shit. Pic related it's me. [img]http://www.treehugger.com/pancake-batfish-gulf-spill-discovery.jpg[/img] My face when they told me the land apes fucked up again and this times its personal.

Something like this was bound to happen eventually, hopefully it'll be a lesson to companies that cutting corners will result in the destruction of everything you worked for. I also hope BP is completely destroyed, which looks like is slowly happening.

I blame the english

Oh [I]well[/I].

I think this is a sign to start using greener cars that don't rely on oil.

[QUOTE=Cino33;22738073]I think this is a sign to start using greener cars that don't rely on oil.[/QUOTE] You realize that like everything else mechanical uses oil? Not just cars and fuel.

I don't care.

They also need to make a plan that actually may work... They have tried 3 or 4 plans and all of them have failed miraculously. I think they are also thinking of trying another plan that may stop the flow, or... make it larger and leak 20% more in to the Gulf.

I'll just leave this here [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEhhVmxYSNI[/media]

[QUOTE=justinlol;22737957]I think BP would be left alone a lot more if they did a little more to help keep it under control.[/QUOTE] Well yeah, if they helped clean it up, they'd look better.

Only about 20 individuals should lose their jobs for this incident and not force the whole of the company to pay out for something which technically isn't their fault. Plus, the sooner you clear up the oil, the sooner we can forget about this whole mess and then move on with life and stop moaning about BP.

They head of BP rushed the guys building the oil rig. So I hold BP responsible.

It will end it a court case, large payouts and probably the director of the oil rig being used as a scapegoat by BP to avoid having to pay for everything.

its a conspiracy maan

I am not in favour of the oil spill.

BP said they are going to give people in the effected areas money, but they havent done yet, thats BS, and there isnt much more that they can do in this stage than what they are already doing, but if they were following procedures in the first place, this wouldnt have happened, I hope they go bankrupt, that would be karma, loosing all their money when they tried to make a little extra and ruined millions of peoples lives

[QUOTE=justinlol;22738448]But, BP is the one who made the constructors cut corners to minimize time. They head of BP rushed the guys building the oil rig. So I hold BP responsible.[/QUOTE] you have to take into account that a small number of people working on the rig at the time should of noticed the small faults with the pipe long before the incident occurred. These people are the few whom are responsible, not BP as a whole. If anything, everyone who was working on that rig should probably be fired and/or fined for the whole situation.

Rule 34 of BP fucking the gulf coast, replace semen with oil, and make BP the oil rig. Go go go.

BP cannot go bankrupt due to their high profits and large spread business, bigger incidents than this one have occurred and companies have not lost everything because of it.

Everyone working on that rig is dead, all eleven people. The rig exploded.
