WTF Holy Oil Spill

[Syrup Beaver]

It's more than likely a reference back to Náhuatl (Aztec language)

Wouldn't it be Mayan on that side of Mehico?

 

[OzSTEEZ]

No one's asked this question before. So I will.

Should off shore oil rigs be banned from US waters?

Wouldn't it be Mayan on that side of Mehico?

Could be. I just know there's a higher percentage of people who speak Náhuatl than Yucatec. Of course that doesn't mean I'm right.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

I'm thinking of converting one of my bikes to steam power.

Then it should be banned everywhere, as water travels.

No, we need the oil. Its just not feasible.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

As much as you like to think you guys rule the world, you don't. So should the US reverse it's pro-drilling stance?

 

[OzSTEEZ]

The amount of oil produced from US waters in minute compared to what you guys buy from other countries..

 

[dbzeag]

As much as you like to think you guys rule the world, you don't. So should the US reverse it's pro-drilling stance?

As soon as other countries reverse theirs.

The amount of oil produced from US waters in minute compared to what you guys buy from other countries..

And that's why they are drilling more, to change the proportions.

That's ok. We still need it. And all the jobs it creates. We REALLY need those right now.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

As soon as other countries reverse theirs.

Oh, you guys are followers, not leaders. Got it.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

And that's why they are drilling more, to change the proportions.

lol. you are going to have to drill 12390487512034982390482093784029384234 trillion holes to even come close..

 

[fly]

Stopping drilling worldwide is ridiculous.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

That's ok. We still need it. And all the jobs it creates. We REALLY need those right now.

That's a good point.

I don't think so. We all know that catastrophes could result from our industrial pursuits. The key is to have procedures in place for when they do. It is very rare that a rig blows up and sinks, causing the well beneath to hemorrhage oil uncontrollably and devastate ecosystems and the environment. It simply never happens. So the first instance always seems terrible and incomprehensible and fosters many kneejerk reactions. But those accidents are also where we get new protocols from, and allow us to hone our emergency procedures. Lastly, like it or not we need the oil the rigs provide for a number of reasons, and even monumental accidents shouldn't stop us from pursuing it.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

that's fucking beautiful coming from you! I love to laugh at hypocrites..
