Venezuela can get it right, American can't?
 

So I read the paper this morning to see that a venezuelen rig sank the other day, yet the closed all safety valves and thus no leak. How is it that a damn near third world country can not fuck up, but the most powerful on the planet can?

This shit just don't make no sense!

deep sea rig?

"America" doesn't own/operate oil rigs.


.

No, but American oil companies do.

It's not an American company, idiot. :1orglaugh

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BP

"BP plc (formerly "British Petroleum") is a British global energy company that is also the third largest global energy company and the 4th largest company in the world."

Yes but you see... AMERICA

Nonono! CANADA!

If it's the one that just sank the reason there's no crude oil escaping is because ......

It was a natural gas rig :1orglaugh


.

No but you see America,

Troll successful.

Edit: But seriously, BP is british? Well I never.

The lack of understanding of the energy industry is staggering in this thread...

Btw the venezuelen rig was a natural gas platform. Not oil.

Oops..I see L-Pink already pointed that out.

I don't care where it comes from, just as long as it ends up in my gas tank :D

yeah, every country should model itself after venezuela-

Venezuela's economy is in trouble despite the country's huge oil reserves. Blackouts plague major cities. Its inflation rate is among the world's highest. Private enterprise has been so hammered, the World Bank says, that Venezuela is forced to import almost everything it needs.

That's ok there's enough laughs for 2.

Come on yo, read the thread. I was trying to rile up some exciteable posters (and I even learned something new!). Only like 2 bit the rope tho. Now I'm bored. Let's talk about theme parks.

Playland in Vancouver is okay, but after 24 someodd years, it's getting a bit stale. That and I spend like a week's wages playing those goddam rigged sideshow games every year. Especially the one with the pellet guns where you have to shoot the star out of the paper.

WHAT A RIPOFF THAT GAME IS BUT I CANT STOP PLAYING IT. THEY DONT GIVE YOU ENOUGH PELLETS TO SHOOT THE STAR OUT, I SWEAR.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

i did read the thread. just figured i'd add to the fun by showing that venzuela is currently one big clusterfuck.

ahh I got ya. Yeah I don't think I'd want to be venezuelan right now. Have you seen the size of their fucking spiders? I'll stick to my penny sized house spiders, thanks.
