You are right, the Bronze Age was so much better.

Why the hell would people live by that?

thanks big oil. If it wasn't for you I would be sitting by candle light right now, sweating, with no internet and riding a horse to get around, not that there would be any place to go.

Oil comes from nature so it must be harmless ...... er wait, that's my drug argument.

QFT!

think there is a connection between bondage, misogyny , government conspiracy and looking for negative news on the net???

Hydrofluoric acid, thats some crazy shit. Put a body in a bath of that stuff and there's nothing left, no teeth no bones no fillings nothing. It even eat through glass containers

I don't know.

Do you think there's a connection between apathy and self-destruction?

Do you think there's a connection between corporate greed and societal and technological stagnation?

where do you think poor people live?

I always enjoy threads created by BFT3K. It helps me understand how stupid people think.:1orglaugh

i'm gonna let ya slide since you made my avatar.

Has anyone bothered reading the article linked above, BEFORE coming in to defend the corporate corruption that shits on your heads?

you wouldn't have read the article if it wasn't for oil.

You can be upset about what a particular plant (location) is doing or even a company, but to be pissed at "big oil" just makes you a hypocrite no matter who you are. If you want to be pissed at oil companies for providing us with oil then please first start by practice what you preach and don't use any of the products made possible by "big oil".

No better than a peta freak that eats hamburgers and wears fur coats when its cold.

That's a pretty stupid argument. It's like saying, "well, you can't get angry at Wall Street or multi-national banks for driving the world economy into recession, because afterall, we all use money and bank accounts".

Boycott currency! Oh, wait...

of course i read the article, i also read the report the article was based on.

fact is, only the naive are enlightened with this *news*

it's been public knowledge for some time that living close to a refinery/freeway/industrial region causes issues.

i mean fuck, i grew up in pasadena, texas and could smell the stink of the texas city refineries (mentioned in your article) 20 miles away some days.

no, my argument is solid. Your analogy is stupid.

People cry and cry and cry and cry and cry about the big bad oil companies. But yet they love love love love love love love everything that is made from oil. These dumb fucks want to do away with oil companies because they are so baaaad, but yet they don't want to give up anything that is produced from oil.

If I went on and one and on and on about wallstreet being evil and then still played the stock market I would be a hypocrite. If I hated my bank or blamed my bank for whatever and still had an account with them I would be a hypocrite. That has nothing to do with me using currency lol.

It's pretty fucking simple logic.

Comparative to your argument, my analogy is right on. If people aren't allowed to bitch about big oil while using anything oil produces, then you're not allowed to bitch about Wall Street or banks if you use anything related to currency.

Ummm, no. It's when everyone sees oil companies making record profits of like $12 billion in one quarter, but won't bother investing in safety measures to ensure things such as the Deepwater Horizon spill don't happen, which devastated 10s of 1000s of lives. They generally don't care though, and will do what it takes to make an even larger buck, even if that means putting the public at risk.

That's what people get pissy about.

Exact-a-mundo! :thumbsup

you had to read an article to figure out that the emissions from processing oil are toxic??

I forgot everyone on GFY was a safety expert and EPA whiz and knows what the right amount of safety precautions oil companies should be taking.

You don't need to tell me about how the gulf spill affected people since I live close to New Orleans. First accident like that ever to happen by US oil company in the gulf. Only way you will be assured nothing like that happens again is to stop using oil, period. No matter how many safety precautions you take. Oil is a nasty business and is not the most friendly when it comes to health and the environment. Until we find a viable solution I will be happy "big oil" is around and god forbid a company actually makes a profit, last I checked this was still a capitalist society... but who knows how much longer that will be the case these days.

and your analogy is still stupid :) no point in debating it, if you don't get it you never will. Not to mention I wasn't bitching about wall street or banks anyway.

let me guess, you thought your apartment was cheap because of the view. :1orglaugh

I love BFT3k's retarded rants against corporations. I guess his logic is that we need more government to combat all that private sector corruption!
