Yes I think it's fine that they are profiting during their fuckup while tons of livelihoods are being destroyed, just like I said. In fact I'm going to wire them some money to increase their proceeds for the next few days. | ||

Not that it's okay what people in the wrong location, or the wrong generation will have to deal with, but I'm basically doing all I can about it. People are irresponsible... It's just that the world only seems to notice when it's on a large scale like this. Social change must be encouraged. | ||

Who doesn't think corporations don't rule the world? doesn't/don't? i think it shouldn't have happened in the first place, i probably should have followed this more closely as it is very related to my degree but TBH i been lazy ... but i thought BP DO have to pay for the entire cost of spill and its aftermath? i got no idea if they have to pay for existence value like exxon had to? | ||

As the largest oil company in the world there are many people who are interested that BP does well no matter what the circumstances are. I agree that the US governmet should be harsher on them and make them pay big time for this mess, but this ain't gonna happen... yeah, life is unfair; pisses me off sometimes... | ||

Why isn't the supposedly most advanced and powerful nation able to stop simple oil spill? Incompetence and corrupcy anywhere you look. Prevent, perhaps. This only happened because of a long chain of events driven by greed and incompetence (just like the sinking of the Titanic or the Challenger disaster)... but once an oil spill like this has happened it is no longer simple. | ||

BP going bankrupt will not make the oil disappear. but regardless, they could clean all of this up with fishing boats and they wouldn't go bankrupt. (im exaggerating for emphasis. but i wouldn't be surprised if they really could) On May 31 2010 02:01 Catch]22 wrote: What I want to know is how you can be so undoubtedly sure that BP is fully responsible. The Oilplatform was the responsibility of 4 parties, Halliburton, BP, Transoceanic and the goverment inspectors. BP is just the face I am attaching. I agree with you, there are other responsible parties. And after writing my OP i edited to reflect that by saying "other invested interests". It just seemed like too much work to include them all. | ||
