It's about time. With all of this going on I find it amazing that people are still buying their products, I myself refuse too.

..and axy is right on target..and the sad thing is, the people running your local bp station are in no way at fault...

..they're just regular joes like you and me trying to make a buck...

..personally, i never bought bp fuel in the first place...so i'm not hurting them there...

I don't buy there fuel, never have and I understand it is impossible to entirely avoid their products as axy outlined but I am sick and tired of BIG f***ing business continuing to make big dollars at our expense, as the BP CEO said "The little people". From Wall ST to these sh**heads, I've had enough. >:(

I feel better now, sorry for the rant. ;)

The BP muckity mucks... Out Yachting w/ the family, as they destroy US waters. I know it is an accident, and NO ONE is happy about it, but YACHTING WHILE THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEIR HARDWARE? Just not right...

No. It was not an accident.

It was no more an accident than if you purposely got your friend drunk and let them drive home.

People who worked that rig knew and warned that all the corner-cutting that BP and Transocean did on that well was not going to end well.

And for what?  To try to save a few million dollars. Now, they wish they'd have spent that money up-front.

..i saw a "60 Minutes" interview with one guy that nearly drowned, and swam away from the rig in a sea of burning crude...

..that was when i made this thread...

..he personally alerted transocean to the faulty blowout preventers...

..bp said to f***in' DRILL!...

My point is that you have to have your head up your ass to the shoulders, at least, to defend BP in this sh**.

And yes, we have plenty of Americans with their heads up their asses to the shoulders. At least 24%. The ones that don't know who we defeated to win our independence, and the ones who think George W. Bush was a great president.

This is no place to go into such details, but I have B. Sc in business economy, MBA in ICT business management and currently I am working on my ph.d. in Business Administration. (I am completing 1st year of 3-year doctoral studies after MBA at the local University of Economy).

Considering that I am interested in political economy and philosophy and development of economic thought, recently, I have been researching the "shock doctrine" of USA (and neoliberals, Chicago school etc.), war in Iraq, events after "freeing up" the markets in Chile, Poland, USSR, Far East crisis at the end of 90s, and produced a number of 70+ page scientific papers on the topic.

I am not getting that info from "screens", at least not while posting, I tend to remember and accumulate a lot of information along the way.

I have been also fully employed for the past seven years in one of the world`s biggest oil&energy multinationals in function of middle manager and have been working for BP as a client.

Also, I am quite interested in macro economy and oil&energy sector, so tend to know quite a bit about all these topics (unfortunately, there is never enough knowledge).
