Now, why didn't I think of that. I could have gone to Wally world and bought
the supplies and fixed it myself.

bp ceo's are all sitting back and laughing at us.

4. laughing at us?
So far, from the pubbies I've talked with, i'm hearing "tough shit" and drill baby drill.

So, i think you're right... they are laughing at us. They don't give a damn about the gulf. None of them.

6. Yay! More high tech.
Order the ginormous ShamWow!

Seriously, I don't care if they have to go back to Leonardo da Vinci's work or ancient Chinese methods. Think out of the damn box instead of building one.

Ask some kids in school of all ages. I'm serious. Sometimes they say something that nobody else even came close to because they are constrained by a lot of rules yet. They are the original out of the box thinkers. They can't do any worse than what we have seen so far.

7. According to Repug this morning the oil spill is the
environmentalists fault. They won't let us drill in shallow waters near the coast, that's why they have to drill in mile deep water. I don't watch Faux or listen to Limpballs apparently that must be where they heard that one.

8. Stupid fucks those people are
Edited on Fri May-14-10 08:37 AM by BeFree
The drillers know that the oil is 3, 4 miles down.

This wellhead is under one mile of water. It is a whole lot easier to drill through water, eh? If the oil is 4 miles down and you only have to drill 3 of those 4 miles....

And if you have a spill underwater it just mixes in with the water. No one ever sees it!

A spill on land has to be cleaned up no matter how small.
They love drilling in the water. The deeper the water, the better.
