[QUOTE=xxfalconxx;22076928]but wait, we wouldn't be talking about this if that happened, because going back means there's no reason to make a machine so you cant go back to go forward to go back....:psyboom:[/QUOTE]
We went back in time and told the CEO of BP that one of their rigs would explode and they kicked us out and continued to roll around in their profits.
It seems like BP needs help on this one because they are not getting the job done in a timely manner. What a waste of oil this is....

Quickly, everyone scoop up the oil before they charge us $2.74 a gallon!
So this is why the oil prices are so high.
The solution to all of our problems:

Can YOU afford a new car? I sure as hell can't, not with the job "stability" in this region.
Jebus, I didn't realise it was that bad, I HAVE been living under a rock.

Most the oil is below the waters surface. Only the stuff that comes up on "ground zero" is a slick. Everything else is a milky water/oil mixture.
You guys should really listen to me for once. I've been saying these things on every oil spill thread:
Fire is good but limited.
Nuke is bad.
Hay is inefficient.

Since the News Section is only gonna get more bloated with the oil spill fuck up, let's discuss this in this thread.
what is the BP spill?
oil rig exploded
oil leaked
A LOT OF OIL LEAKED
its leaking everywhere
it's threatening the entire ecosystem along the gulf
jobs losing
livelihoods ruined
immense environmental damage
[B]BP doesn't give a fuck[/B]
How bad is it?
This is New Orleans wetland, which houses many ecological important animals, like turtles, frogs, gators, and shit. It also houses a L4D2 campaign.

Satellite photo, not updated recently, it's getting bigger.
What has BP tried?
Top Hat.
Hot Tap.
Both anagram were failures.
Junk shot, because they thought it was a good idea to plug the oil leak with golf balls and trash.
failed.
and they FINALLY managed to cover some of it, but more than 3,000 gallons are still leaking.
The democrats are pretty angry, got an idea, but have no balls to do anything, because democrats lack them.
Republicans has steel balls, but they have no brain so they block the liability cap against BP, why? Cause they are retards.
We're expecting this to be the worst man-made ecological disaster ever and BP doesn't really give a fuck. They consider any lawsuit against them by fishermen who loses their job and ability to feed their families [B]'frivolous'[/B].[/QUOTE]
Ugh. Disgusting. Good luck to anyone in that area.
If it gets to the loop current, BP will be forever known as the company that single-handedly destroyed the Caribbean.
Subaquatic wildlife : Wiped ✓
Florida's wildlife : Wiped ✓
Florida's economy : Wiped ✓
Pretty much everything natural in the area : Wiped ✓
Good job BP, continue not giving a fuck.
I thought BP didn't even own the oil rig, it was built and maintained by other company.

Is it bad that the first time I heard about this was from a webcomic?

Transocean, BP, and Haliburton are all involved, and all pointing fingers at the other.
I hope that this whole experience will stop off shore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, many people were against it, but now it seems that the risks far outweigh the cons. One of Florida's main industries was tourism and now even before there has actually been a lot of it on the beaches, people are leaving early, or canceling their reservations.
Also, for those of you who think "that's why prices are so high!" not really. This incident would only be a mosquito bite on the price of oil, we get almost all of it from the middle east. The thing is, IT'S NOT ACTUALLY THAT MUCH. And sure you say "but there are thousands of gallons spilling everyday!" The thing is, compared to how much our god-forsaken country (I live in the US) uses everyday, those offshore drilling rigs aren't nearly enough to satisfy our oil needs. So when a disaster like this comes along, a bit of oil isn't worth having Florida's and other Gulf bordering states ecosystems completely wrecked.
TLDR: offshore oil drilling in the gulf isn't worth the risk.

yeah, but if we stop offshore drilling, then prices WILL go up, and it may now since we get most of our oil from ourselves and Mexico, the soudi arabia is only the 3rd foreign supplier

Why can't they get supertankers to pump the drifting oil into their hull.
It would help, if only a small amount.

There is something's BP cant clean up, and thats oil

Because supertankers have better to do, like transporting refined oil to earn money. They don't give a shit.

They actually inject dispersants that are more toxic than oil, in order to prevent the oil from getting at the surface.
I predict a very tough next several decades for the south.
Thanks alot BP!!! :mad:
BP is now the main representative of all British people. To all the British you now look like idiots to everyone else.
