    Just boycotted BP .....

    Filled my truck up today and made a point not to buy from a BP station. Fruitless gesture I know but just had to do it.

    This is just the beginning .......... Breaks my heart.

                              I hadn't been paying attention. What is BP doing differently than what any other company would do?

                                  Probably nothing. And BP has stepped up and accepted blame so far. However I just can't separate them from what is happening.

                                      Well, for one they skimped on paying the extra 500K for safety valve that very well may have allowed them to shut this off right when it first happened.

                                      There is no guarantee that the valve would have been able stop it, but it is designed to do just that so it very well may have.

                                          BP just ran into bad luck... They aren't doing any other oil company would/wouldn't do...

                                          Really you should have sympathy for them, they just got FUCKED... Boycotting is exactly the opposite of what you should do... Do you want them to have enough capital to clean this shit up?

                                          First time I've heard about that valve but if that's the case... isn't it always the ONE time you don't add an optional piece that you need it? :P

                                              Boycott BP, let them sell their oil based products to other brands, fill up with BP sourced fuel at an Exxon/Esso/Shell/??? petrol station.

                                              Well done - the polar bears will love you and you can now be a condescending smug git like all the twats that buy a Prius.

                                                  They had to get the government to OK them not getting that valve installed

                                                      The oil lobby asked to be allowed to not put those on (remember the secret golf outting meetings with the energy lobby and Cheney?), and their wish was granted. They also relaxed the clean air and clean water acts instead of losing the plethora of court cases pending. They truly were scumbags and it'll be decades before it all comes out. Just like every other administration.

                                                      btw: I havent driven since december 29th, but who gives a rats ass? Is someone going to send me a prize?

                                                              and if I hear anyone associated BP with folks in the UK then we're done.

                                                              Fucking multinational oil company with more foreign investors than domestic. Honestly the stupidity levels are off the charts. I have had 3 people on ICQ say man, you guys need to clean that shit up. LOL ri.....iiiight. Like it's my fault.

I also know other stop/go products account for major revenue. I just have a hard time not associating BP with the damage. Just like Exxon.

                                                                  I don't feel smug about anything just sad for the animals and damage.

They also relaxed the clean air and clean water acts instead of losing the plethora of court cases pending. They truly were scumbags and it'll be decades before it all comes out. Just like every other administration.

I guess what I should have said is that really it's not their "fault" per se... there's no reason to boycott them. They certainly didn't plan on this happening or plan for it TO happen. They just got royally fucked like every other victim in this... probably more so...

I also know other stop/go products account for major revenue. I just have a hard time not associating BP with the damage. Just like Exxon.

                                                                                                              I don't feel smug about anything just sad for the animals and damage.

Sorry for any offence.

                                                                                                                      But look at the supposed "cost" of cleaning that up... I guess what I should have said is that really it's not their "fault" per se... there's no reason to boycott them. They certainly didn't plan on this happening or plan for it TO happen. They just got royally fucked like every other victim in this... probably more so...
                                                                                                                      here's a quick synopsis of bp-

                                                                                                                      The causes of the disastrous blowout and gas explosion on BP's leased Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico are a long way from being determined.

                                                                                                                      Yet already BP's actions are facing unprecedented scrutiny, thanks to a years-long history of legal and ethical violations that critics, judges and members of Congress say shows that the London-based company has a penchant for putting profit ahead of just about everything else.

                                                                                                                      Over the past two decades, BP subsidiaries have been convicted three times of environmental crimes in Alaska and Texas, including two felonies. It remains on probation for two of them.

                                                                                                                      It also has received the biggest-ever fine for willful work safety violations in U.S. history and is the subject of a wide range of safety investigations, including one in Washington state that resulted last week in a relatively minor $69,000 fine for 13 "serious" safety violations at its Cherry Point refinery near Ferndale, Wash.

                                                                                                                          An investigation of the explosion by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board blamed BP for the explosion and offered a scathing assessment of the company.

                                                                                                                          It found "organizational and safety deficiencies at all levels of the BP Corporation" and said management failures could be traced from Texas to London.

                                                                                                                          The company eventually pleaded guilty to a felony violation of the Clean Air Act, was fined $50 million and sentenced to three years' probation. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration assessed BP the largest fine in OSHA history — $87 million — after inspectors found 270 safety violations that had been previously cited but not fixed and 439 new violations.

If you truly want to boycott then you should be doing what you can to avoid excessive oil consumption. BP is one company out of how many, that have oil rigs in the Gulf and else where?

It is just another example of how you can buy and sell our leadership. Also, I have no idea if other companies are using these valves voluntarily or not. What I do know is that BP chose not to use it and now is flooding the gulf with oil and I'm pissed at them If another company was in the same situation I would be just as pissed.
