Well obviously you're being sarcastic here, but a list of companies who are filing class action lawsuits at the moment:
Port Arthur shrimper -- (not sure of the real name)
Key West Tiki Charters -- Florida charter boat company
Transocean
Pappas -- (seafood business)
SEPTA -- (another drilling company I think?)
Ripley's Believe it Or Not in Key West -- (tourist attraction)
A BP Shareholder, Katherine Firpo -- (suing executives personally)
That's all I found on the first page of Google, can't be bothered to find any more.

BP gets sued into the ground, government bails out. Hilarity ensues.

Sadly, I'm almost certain that's how things are going to go.

I know America sucks, and treats a lot of other countrys like shit, but we aren't all so bad.
Also, How is BP evil for an accident.
BP got themselves into a really slippery situation with this..

A preventable accident, had the proper safety and preventative measures been taken, even something as simple as having the safety crews who were supposed to be on stand-by [i]on stand-by[/i].
But no, they were a greedy, unregulated corporation whose only point of existence is profits, and therefore they shirked on safety and ended up ruining our coast.
Greed. Evil.
BP's Genocide of animals? Really?
Fuck off already.
BP is bad m'kay

Kay number one, Transocean fucked up on the rig because they manufactured it, and Halliburton was the one servicing it. BP's only involvement in all this is just the fact that they had DWH leased to them.
You guys are demonizing BP for no reason other than the fact that you're biased against oil companies. Instead of believing everything you hear, how about you look up the facts about this.

All corporations/organization/company are like that, their point of existence is profits (unless it's one of those non-profit charities). It's just that evidently BP didn't think that a disaster like this was going to cost them a lot more than what they saved by cutting costs on safety (or maybe they thought "Oh well it won't happen, anyway").

Well, Halliburton is also evil (war profiteering, anyone?), so I'll accept that. I have no doubt BP and Halliburton could have cooperated on reducing safety measures in order to cut costs, but I don't know how oil drilling works, so I could be wrong. Also, I don't know who the fuck Transocean is, but I know they are suing BP as well, so take from that what you will.
That's as far as I can agree though. BP had a substantial amount of responsibility in making sure something like this didn't happen.
I'll bring up that BP had over 300 safety and health violations, as opposed to Exxon's EIGHT; this was only five years ago (after they allowed another rig to be blown up), and they were only given a probationary period and allowed to continue fucking our ecosystems one shore at a time.
A quote from the investigation for the rig accident 5 years ago:
"Several investigations launched in the aftermath of the refinery explosion concluded that BP's aggressive cost-cutting efforts in the area of safety, the use of outdated refinery equipment and overworked employees contributed to the blast ... according to John Bresland, the chairman of the independent US Chemical Safety Board (CSB)."

Yes, they are. That is the nature of capitalism. This is why we need regulations; BP (among a long list of other companies) had become highly unregulated after the Bush presidency.
Why is everybody acting like BP wanted this to happen?
I'm sure the head of the company got up one day and thought 'Hmmmmm, i know... lets rupture an oil pipe killing thousands of animals and costing us millions!' Then everyone in the board room gave him a standing ovation due to his brilliant idea.

how about YOU look up some facts
Ultra Violence has actually provided sources and relevant information
I with you guys, poor animals and stuff..
[B]BUT[/B] still. There a still many animals that die each day because of nature and we don't feel sorry for those.

You are misinterpreting what you're reading.
Everybody is actually acting like BP was negligent in doing all they could to prevent this from happening.
It does not matter that malicious intent was not behind it; it's the fact that they fucked up, ignoring safety standards in offshore drilling procedures. If corporations are free to have repeated (keep in mind BP has had an 'accident' like this before) safety violations that result in the deaths of employees, businesses, and wildlife, without being punished, then they will continue doing it.
[QUOTE=xDrTran;22364987]If BP gets away with this, I'll... do nothing because I can't do anything against a multi-billion dollar corporation. :/[/QUOTE]
Which is the problem. We don't get a say in anything :sigh:

Haliburton's a shit company.
They keep the idiots and assholes and fire anyone worth keeping.

That's the natural course of life for things to die from natural elements, this however is a man made disaster that is destroying our planets ecosystem.

this is something different. humans caused this, not nature.
Lol at all the butthurts of animals dying. When a person dies it's looked upon lightly but if it's animals everyone goes crazy. A person's life is worth much more than a bunch of animals unless that person is no benefit at all to society.

And how is animals dying from something we caused less natural than an animal killing another animal or an animal dying from an eruption? It's perfectly natural, we are animals too (superior, yes, but still animals biologically) and we were created by "nature".
No actually if anything it's not natural that we care about the other animals dying, it would be way more natural for us to cause one of these spills on purpose to kill other animals, because that's how nature works, no compassion or pity.

Last I checked, these animals normally died from predators, old age, starvation, and etc.
Oil, something very foreign to them, is killing them.

A huge part of the Southern coastal region's economy is chained to the Gulf, including this wildlife. Oh, and several people were killed in the initial explosion.
Not everything is grade-school simple. Ecosystems are incredibly complex, and, [i]believe it or not![/i], we're part of and dependent on them. So when entire ecological structures begin to fall apart, it's kind of a big deal.
