Should the US Continue Off Shore Drilling Despite The Spill?

[The Troll]

Can't really argue with either of those remarks troll,........(this is getting kind of sacry  )....but, ONE, has to think that BP, at least in my opinion, can make or break themselves by the way they handle themselves on the clean-up.....I can forgive a tragic mistake, if BP sincerely does what it takes to clean this mess up, BUT, if they do NOT do a FANTASTIC job of clean up, NOR do they make the proper cash settlements to those who are warrented to be compensated, in FULL.....I at that point, NEVER, EVER support BP again.  I say they have MORE at stake at making things right, than they do at not making things right...........but, I'm not sure if they see things this way.

Oh, I could forgive BP if they did what is right.  But I won't forget what they did.  But they will do just the same thing Exxon did in Alaska,  fiddle fuck around, putting off, lying, cheating and dragging things out until the people they destroyed die.  It has been 20 years and things are still fucked up in Alaska and still Exxon is dragging their feet.  I don't trust BP as far as I can throw my gasguzzler V10 truck.

More than 30 countries and international organizations have offered to help with the spill. The State Department hasn't indicated why some offers have been accepted and others have not.

  Why is it Henry, that BP hasn't hired the other 1,600 skimmers that are here in the country.

  Sure got tunnel vision when it come to Obama.  Still not really wanting to blame BP.  Still the same old bull shit, same old bull shit, same old bull shit.  Your just like a stuck record.

  Leadership, Leadership, Leadership, Leadership, Leadership.  Obama and everybody in Washington and the United States, in fact the whole world, is working on this.

  But since you never answer any questions, I'll try one more time.  Who will lead and what do we do and not make the damn thing worse.

  Is it Booby Jindal, who has been caught saying, "lead or get out of the way".  Who wants to digs large holes into the wetlands to build a dike and in the process destroy forever what he trying to save.  Braaaaain  Deaaaaaaaaaaad. 

  Well, so much for small government.  Hell, we have a big one and can't solve this problem.

If you weigh the harm of one against the harm of the other I'd say the wet lands are gonna lose because the oil is gonna ultimately cause more damage both to the economy and nature.

  You were a kid at one time, probably, did you ever built sand castles  and watch how the tide and the waves destroyed it.  Just a little higher water and a few waves and just a few minutes the beach was back the same.  No sign of your castle.

  Just how long do you think sand dikes will last with a storm, waves and tides.  A fart would last longer in a Indiana wind storm.

  Some interesting information of BP"s oil spill.    www.rense.com.

  One professor said the the oil coming out of the pipe that is spilling the oil might be under 70,000 to 100,000 pound per square inch pressure.  Well BP said that they had put on a blow out preventer with a rating of 15,000 pound of pressure. WOW!  A sissy preventer.

  We know, that at a mile depth the water pressure is 12,000 pound per square inch and the well is putting 100,000 barrels per day.  That's a lot of pressure.

Huh. . . when did you abandon the "BP will take care of everything" schooner you've been sailing?

When the Troll pointed out BP hadn't "hired" the other 1600 available skimmers. Henry wants us to quit picking on BP. He thinks the government should pay for those skimmers. His understanding that "government" means "you and me," when we talk about invoicing, tends to come and go.

  Also Lolly, the world's largest skimmer has just been refitted for the Gulf.  I guess it here waiting for the government, the EPA to check out it's filters and oil removal capabilities.

  The amout of oil this skimmer can remove is beyond belief.  Henry is talking about Obama being slow on getting skimmer out to work.  You don't get the WORLD'S LARGEST OIL SKIMMER, refitter over night.

BP does NOT have a good track record for taking care of the problems when it sh*ts in its own nest and injures/kills people because of its cheap-ass way of providing for the safety of its workers.

There'd better be a massive, intensive watch to make sure they don't slip away when they try to shed their skins and get out from under their incredible liability for this disaster.

They have tried to do it before.

  Mr. FTW, what would happen to you, if you pulled a Cluster F**k and killed 17 of your workers.
Nothing has happened to anyone at BP.  They sure know how to cover each other's ass.

Been right at the forefront of my radar since the rig exploded, and I will keep it there until every single drop of oil and damage has been remediated. (Which will be long after I myself turn to fertilizer). . .
