Poor animals, nuke the spill shut it down

British Petroleum. Not 'American' Petroleum.

Nuke the spill? You wanna kill everyone? :eek7

Capitalism.

I like chocolate.

btw, sweet truck :thumbsup

They sure look pissed...

Majority shareholders of BP are American. It's not actually called British Petroleum any more, it's literally just BP plc.

All good and well, but we all know what BP stands for. Shareholders do not make decisions about safety valves or their lack thereof.

I'm starting to enjoy FfVb.

god, that is horrible! It breaks my heart to see those animals like that

JP Morgan Chase owns like 27% of the stock and BP stands for BP now the British Petroleum was removed years ago.

Seems like JPMC owns everything these days. Kind of scary actually how much shit they own.

Sickening. Just sickening! :(:(:(

KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD!

:Oh crap

fuck america.

here we go.....

its been BP since they aquired Amoco in 98, before the it was British Petroleum and before that it was Anglo-Persian Oil Company...

just as I am sure after this it will be called something else...



just like Transocean was called Sonat until the early 80's when it needed a new name to get people to forget they were responsible for a huge oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico...

If I understand this correctly Coup, you're attempting to blame the average consumer for BP's gross negligence? I'm not getting how you arrived at that. Consumers buy what they are told to buy. GM wants more profit, so they build the Hummer and blast the public with ads to buy it. Public does as they are instructed to do in order to keep with current standards (in the case of Hummer, that standard was set by GM and the creation of the Hummer).

Maybe I'm wrong and this isn't your intention, but I'm going to have to guess that it is because of the pics of suburbs and parking lots and references to shopping. By this reasoning, do we also blame the public for slave labor in China? Suicides at the iPhone factories? Toyota's negligence? etc?

As a consuming member of the public, I take offense to being blamed for BP's leak because I bought what was being pushed on me 24/7. (which is not just cars, but everything. Including the food YOU eat.)

Just sayin'.

If you don't think that the fact the american way of life is structured around the car isn't to blame for our insane appetite for oil then I just don't know what to tell you.

ultimately we have no one to blame but ourselves.

everything you don't like to hear = communism.. huh?

We really have to blame the entire world then. America is not the only country using oil, and this is not the first disaster to come from it.

i am a communist.

i'm simply highlighting the hypocrisy in your thread.

Pretty sure this is what he is trying to say:

The darker the color the more barrels used pp

The biggest lie kids are taught to believe when they are young is that they are "consumers."
In the mindset of consuming and being labeled as consumers, their subconscious reaction to the outside world is "i need to consume this. i may not need this, but i need to consume it."
They are born into debt thru no fault of their own, but they are instant indentured servants.

In the U.S. you can practically walk down any street and see piles of plastic refuse.
Massive amounts of plastic toys, computer peripherals...things acquired because they needed to be consumed, but which are now junk to be tossed in the trash, having become obsolete because of the next widget presented on the market.

GDP = growth = consumption

This is a no win standard which brings us to the tragedy unfolding today.

If the U.S. didnt WASTE so many resources there would be no need to drill in the ocean for more oil.

see told you :1orglaugh

The real Guevara was a reckless bourgeois adrenaline-junkie seeking a place in history as a liberator of the oppressed. But this fanatic’s vehicle of “liberation” was Stalinism, named for Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, murderer of well over 20 million of his own people. As one of Castro’s top lieutenants, Che helped steer Cuba’s revolutionary regime in a radically repressive direction. Soon after overthrowing Batista, Guevara choreographed the executions of hundreds of Batista officials without any fair trials. He thought nothing of summarily executing even fellow guerrillas suspected of disloyalty and shot one himself with no due process.

Che was a purist political fanatic who saw everything in stark black and white. Therefore he vociferously opposed freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, protest, or any other rights not completely consistent with his North Korean-style communism. How many rock music-loving teens sporting Guevara t-shirts today know their hero supported Cuba’s 1960s’ repression of the genre? How many homosexual fans know he had gays jailed?

This also needs to be added-
"Though Americans make up just 4 percent of the world's population, we produce 25 percent of the carbon dioxide pollution from fossil-fuel burning -- by far the largest share of any country. In fact, the United States emits more carbon dioxide than China, India and Japan, combined."

that's crazy talk.

I blame the corporations, not the public. Like you said, we are born into this system and born into debt. We are born 'consumers' and bombarded with advertising our entire lives. The corps could have come up with better alternatives for nearly everything along the way. Instead, everything is based on oil. And most certainly, the negligence of a massive oil company resulting in a disaster like this falls on the greed of the corp.

If, as a parent, I feed my kid nothing but sugar filled candy his entire life and his teeth rot out of his head by age 5, who is responsible? The kid for wanting the candy pushed on him? For being told "this is what you need!" Or the parent doing the pushing.

who gives a shit. since when was this thread about che guevara? go boo hoo somewhere else.

YOU are the reasons corporations exsist. YOU are the reason BP was drilling for oil. the only person who can stop this madness is YOU

Oh, the birds! Beautiful birds.

P.S.

Notice that mask of King Tut of ancient Egypt has 2 snakes above the forehead. It could be the cobra snake.

i'm making it about che. stupid fucking thread, you should be thanking me for making it better.

Wrong. The only reason a corporation exists anywhere.... any corp... is to make money for the corp. There is no other purpose a corporation entity serves and no other reason for it to exist. The number 1 responsibility of a corporate entity is to make more & more money for it's shareholders. Nothing else.
