I'm probably more angry with the lawmakers that allowed these guys to drill without these safety valves in place. It is just another example of how you can buy and sell our leadership. Also, I have no idea if other companies are using these valves voluntarily or not. What I do know is that BP chose not to use it and now is flooding the gulf with oil and I'm pissed at them If another company was in the same situation I would be just as pissed.

Saw today that Halliburton was working on the rig before it blew and it may be their fault.

I thought Dick Cheney was done fucking our country?

You do realize BP did not own or operate the rig, right?

Edited. Wrong info.

They accepted the cost, I know that much. I haven't read that they accepted blame.

I know boycotting makes no sense, but I find it's hard not to disassociate myself from a brand that is the poster-boy for that much damage.

Corrected. There's a difference. I read blame before.

Well, yes, they fucked up, they should be prepared for such possibility... but did they wanted it? No one fucking wanted it. They loose 6 millions us dollars every day because of it and they are desperately seeking for the solution.

Could have been any other company. I dont even have any BP near by.

bp leased the rig and as the leasor is responsible for the spill, the law states the leasor owns the oil and is responsible

moreover, the maximum they are required by law to pay for the damages from the spill is capped at b/w$60m and $100m liability.

I understand, comment was not really directed to you. You might want to get a bicycle though. :winkwink:

This is fucking hilarious. Some of you people are retarded beyond belief.

How naive.

What a screwup...

i have a bike, but it has no air in the tires. i believe it had air in the tires at some point... like 10 years ago maybe? PS: Riding bikes is really fun do it more often.

The only reasonable thing said in this thread :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup
