BP says crude may continue flowing into gulf until August - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;22266667]fucking pricks wring them for every penny they're worth and toss them aside like a two dollar hooker.[/QUOTE] No. A lot of people are employed by BP, most of whom didn't have any involvement with this oil spill. If you bankrupt BP, a lot of people (92,000 according to Wikipedia) will lose their jobs. You don't want 92,000 people jobless in this current economical situation. Whilst the people who failed to control the situation should be fired and fined, the rest of BP shouldn't be fined.

:what: WHAT. WHAT THE FUCK BP. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;22261603]I hope BP goes into financial ruin for this. Destroying a large swath of ecosystem in what could be the worst environmental disaster in United States history should cost more then just a few billion dollars and a slap on the wrist.[/QUOTE] Why? This accident is a fault of a few people, many of whom probably don't even work directly for BP, what good would thousands of people losing their jobs do besides satiating our need to see somebody punished.

BP didn't do this. It was the construction of the drill/well thing Let's all thank [url=http://www.halliburton.com/]Halliburton[/url] for their shitty metal. It should be them, not BP who cleans this shit up.

The breaks fail because Toyota made a shitty car, and because of this, you smash into another car, killing the child in the back. Should you have to pay for it?

I say restaff BP's top dogs with people that aren't retarded money hungry assholes who are a direct cause of oil workers getting sick.

Were they not trying to junk plug it? Idiots, that method would work. Oh and to the people that said "LUL EXPLOSIVES!" That would not work becase the hole was cased and short of a giant hydrolic press smashing the pipe shut, that hole is open.

[QUOTE=rampageturke;22265415]This happened 30 years ago, same things they did, same order. It went on for 6 months, and look at what impact it had on the gulf up until the day before this oil spill. Hardly anything[/QUOTE] Yeah, but this is new hole is thousands of feet deeper than the one from 30 years ago. The Ixtoc oil spill was solved with just a relief well, which is what were trying to do today, but it's extremely hard to drill a new hole that deep underwater.

[QUOTE=RAG Frag;22263943]Money doesn't matter, think of the how much to the environment this is causing[/QUOTE] Oh, forgot :P Yes the environment too. I won't be able to go to flordia for a while too :(

I think I will just leave this here: [url]http://sirmitchell.tumblr.com/post/645568296/ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh-by-mike-mitchell-care-to-vote[/url]

God I STILL LOVE MY GREAT LAKES :3:

y dont they just put a plug in it

daddy? did you plug the hole yet?

Obviously, this is revenge for the Revolutionary war. I knew they are still pissed about that!

[QUOTE=Nick Nack;22261640]Fuck. We were worried about running our of fossil fuels before this? Now we're boned.[/QUOTE] The sum of the oil that can be spilled is supposedly about 2 days of consumption worth.

Don't mean to be Crude here, but BP is fucked

[QUOTE=thisispain;22262011]heh we don't want it anymore that's alright[/QUOTE] i always knew you were a racist
