OIL SPILL????????????//
-
they are doing all the can to get it capped and stop the leek so don't give them the blame for something that they can't help wright now.
-
Hope for the best for them. Real blow to my economy. No wonder Obama is pissed.
-
I think a company that has profits in the billions should take full financial responsibility.

Yes they certainly should. They should also own up to the major part the played in getting a convicted murderer/terrorist released from prison to further an oil deal with libya !

:BangHead: What people do not understand, is the oilwell is 1 mile down. I now believe they are trying their best to stop that mess from continuing. Look with what they have to work with. Robotics is not easy at that depth. they are used to working in much easier conditions. So, the Gulf is basically screwed for years to come; maybe a decade? That`s Life! :dontknow:

Could of happend to any oil company, at any time, maybe this is a sign that we are using way too much oil. Maybe this is a sign what we are doing to our environment.

Ecologically, not even close to that long. It's only going to be devastated financially as long as the media drags the story out. Look at what they did for Katrina.

I am upset at the fact that there was an oil spill, but boycotting BP is not the answer seeing as how 90% of BP's are owned by individuals who just pay to use the name ;)
-
Fix it already would you. How much more is going to be ruined and jack prices up.
-
It's too bad bc BP used to have a good reputation.
-
I guess it's just one of those things that happens. I think BP is doing what they can, under the circumstances. They weren't allowed to burn the oil because environmentalists were saying that it would hurt the animals. Well, they're dying anyway. BP and the government should just do what they can and hope for the best.
-
They screwed up, they cut corners and bribed people, and they bear full responsibility for this disaster. This is the biggest environmental catastrophe in US history, and all some of you can say is "That's life?" Jeez.
-
I heard there is now another spill of oil in the Gulf. It's just madness out there. >:(
-
I don't blame BP. It's the environmentalists fault they had to drill so far below the water surface. It's no wonder it takes a long time to fix the problem.

Oh that's rich, blame "the environmentalists" for forcing poor multinational billion dollar BP to have to go drill so far underwater. I suppose the environmentalists also forced BP to use shoddy equipment that they knew had a good chance of failing, just so they could save some money.
-
WOW, Iknew I should have left this one alone. Bucks flying everywhere. When do people stop lokking for others to blame, and just quit doing the stupid, GREEDY-*bleep* things they do. :peace:
-
read today that the small microbes are eating alot of it up.
-
Why do we have drill at 5,000 feet under the ocean to begin with?
-
I think we all have some share of the blame-we've become an oil-based society-
i hope people don't let this whole oil spill issue fade, even though it's been more than 100
days since it occurred...also, just FYI, there have also been two HUGE spills in Michigan
and China lately (ironic, considering China is like the hugest energy consumer in the world,
and Detroit is considered like "the motor capitol of the world) and there are spills all the time
all over the world, so it's more than just a Gulf Coast issue, though the least we could do
is show our support for our neighbors there, considering all they have been through the
past couple of years....

BP sucks....solar power....
