You know, Exxon Valdez happened in '89, and 31 Years Later,

Umm...?

hahahahahaha

Well at least I can fry my shrimp in the oil that it is prepackaged in.

DRILL BABY DRILL

Again, it's supposition, but it is strongly suspected that the reason they haven't just terminated the well is because it is likely to be the highest production oil well ever drilled and BP refuses to abandon it.

Yes Brian I know these things, That was half joking and half anger after watching some videos of the area. And congress is debating lifting the cap. We'll bleed those bastards.

When is the US going to break up, USSR style?

... piece by piece as the damage settles in

I give it about another 60 years. Maybe less.  So much for the great New American Century.

About 20 years after the EU breaks up. You don't see the fed rushing to bail out California like the EU did Greece. Same level of corruption though. Very stupid move...

At least the people in Greece are rioting, because they know they've been ripped off by corrupt leaders.

No one is rioting in the US.

I blame O.B.E. White America can no longer do math.

No, we're "tea partying" ...
We're such pussies ...

I would say that you wouldn't believe the crackdown that would happen in this country. it would make T-Square look like a tickle fight.

However, some of you are old enough to remember Kent State. Hell, Tru was probably there collecting pop cans.

Seems to me they are doing exactly what was done on the rig off the WestAu coast.


"allowed to just GUSH forth"  Really ? Sounds like you know how to stop it.

Well, actually, I do.  The way to seal it is nukes, used as had been planned for construction:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Plowshare

So do they, but if they seal it, it's all over.  They won't be allowed a second chance.  (Good call, Zoomie ~ I think you're spot on!)

Umm...?

21 years!  (Oops!)

hahahahahaha

And You!  Shut that piehole!

However, some of you are old enough to remember Kent State.

Kent State wasn't the ENTIRE COUNTRY, and it also wasn't the hugely popular cause that this is.

tbh, I'd be surprised if anyone in our military/national guard/police/whatever were to kill other citizens for rioting about this.  If they did, without some UBER exceptionally good reason, it would be the beginning of the end 'cuz it would be ON.

Pop came in bottles back then.

Nukes ?  umm, A controled nuke would need to be burried...

It would be quicker to drill the tap hole and plug the leak... (that's just one (and the least) reason to not use a nuke)

Nukes ?

I'm .. I

Nukes ?

Wow. Banal knows how to cap a broken pipe that is at least 24 inches in diameter, gushing at a pressure of +1000psi and is over a mile underwater.

Halelujah, the world is saved.

I nukes aint the answer.

And tapping IS a method known to work.  It's the last option to be tried due to being the most expensive.

Sorry if I actually paid attention to how the other leaks were delt with.  We can't all be new to this type of story.

So, ending the Vietnam War wasn't a hugely popular cause?

Ok, then. I'll go get my textbooks from Texas.

I nukes aint the answer.

We're Americans, cleaning up some other country's bullshit. Nukes are precisely the answer.

blah, blah, blah

Nukes ?

Did you read that article???  It's so exciting, to me!

YES, nukes.  WHATEVER "fallout" may occur couldn't be worse than all of the chemicals, and it would be SEALED.  ONE shot.

Have you considered lasers?

I wonder about that, but it seems like they'd have to be on site, which means BUILDING something that could malfunction, it's OWN self.

What are YOUR ideas?

<~ waits with baited breath

  We can't all be new to this type of story.

We must be SUCH a disappointment to you!  roflmfao!!!

We're NORMAL.  Which means:  Whatever we might have learned, a thousand years ago, in SCHOOL?

Yeah.  We forgot!

But I can only speak for Zoomie and me!  rofl!!! 

Sorry, babe!!!  It's teh funneh!!!

So, ending the Vietnam War wasn't a hugely popular cause?

Do.

I didn't grow up here,

nor was I educated here,

except for college.

No.  When Kent State happened?  It wasn't something that anyone let themselves think about too long, nor too hard.

Folks gave up their children, and worried about them, and watched them die, and if we weren't "right?"

It was all for nothing.

The history books won't tell you that, but we will.

We're Americans, cleaning up some other country's bullshit. Nukes are precisely the answer.

And you wEnder how I could love him, SO MUCH?!?

<~ closet pyro, that almost cums at the thought of blowing shit up!

You do realize the Vietnam war wasn't "won" by the Vietnamese, but rather "lost" at home?

Shshshshshshshsssshhhhhh!!!

Tru might hear you as well!!!

However, some of you are old enough to remember Kent State. Hell, Tru was probably there collecting pop cans.

Pop came in bottles back then.

So I've heard... no woman would touch him.

Fuck you dumbass

Put on your bifocals so you can see the quotation marks, or else go ahead and build that crow's nest across the street so you can get a good shot as I come out the door.

Actually, I guess you'd need the bifocals for that, too.

Hahahaha
