Westbanker ewww

i stand corrected.. you are correct... BP is responsible... thats not what i heard initially, but in the end, you are right and i am wrong...

it doensnt happen often so revel in it my friend...

and stay thirsty...







.

So. I heard someone here saying that this could have been prevented if an emergency valve had been in place. A valve that is required in the rest of the world except for the united states. This valve costs $500,000, and was not in place because they didn't want to buy one. Now they are dumping millions into a cleanup.

Confirm/deny this valve?

?? WTF is your problem? where you from? what you claimin? I dont live in lafitte. \X/

come run that mouth across that water woadie, leave your ass for them gators in the swamp

I hope they can fix this soon! If they can't stop the leaks anytime soon, the oceans will be thoroughly fucked. I have plans to sail around the world with a sailing boat. But by the time that I can afford this, the oceans will be probably completely dead. :(

Jeez I was just jokin, like I have any room to talk I'm from St. Bernard, (chalmette, oil refinery central)

you know how we roll LOL nina under the seat ready for them eastbankers

where did you hear this?

Its been confirmed.

i wasnt too serious bruh just playin the role if ya get me. I was born Westbank, lived in NOLA, and been reppin this hood since i first hit the blocks. I got friends in Chalmette, and all over Acadia. Used to hang at Chalmette Music all the time when I was in college LOL

Forest is gonna be pissed, this is fucking up his shrimp'n business!!!!

my point was not to prove you wrong, and you were correct the initial reports came out said that BP did not own the rigs and therfore it was questionable if they were responsible.

it seems they (BP) signed a land lease agreement with the federal government which clearly states any clean up cost etc is for the account of the leaseholder.

It's true about the $500K valve preventing all of this. Every other country in the world requires this by law, but the oil industry was able to convince our government it was not worth the money.

That just shows how short sighted and greedy these companies are. Even from a basic business prospective, it makes sense to add that valve. First of all, if the oil industry is powerful enough to make the government not require it, they could probably have asked for tax breaks to cover the total installation cost. Second, if they are installed and there is still a leak, it gives them a very good argument in court as to why they shouldn't be held liable for the full amount of the spill.

BP should pay for the whole fucking spill. They could have stopped this shit. In any case get ready for $5+ gas and the beginning of the next depression.

If only they could filter the oil from the sea water then they could save it all, but from what I understand as soon as sea water hits oil it cant be turned back or filtered out. That correct?

Fucking BP.

I sure as fuck hope they are paying for this whole fucking thing, since it's their fucking fault for not installing that extra valve or whatever.
