Let's try this, you fucking pussy. Answer these questions - no quotes to be scared of - if you aren't too upset, you fucking pussy.


Do you believe that Iraq's oil is not really Iraq's oil?

Are you pro-abortion? (don't give me this 'pro choice' crap. everyone knows what it really means)

Do you think that the Patriot Act and other efforts taken since 9/11 are really a nefarious scheme by the government to steal our rights?

You can answer 'yes' or 'no,' or you can spin and make yourself even more transparent.

Is that ok, sweetheart? No quotes to make you cwy widdle one? No need to wun to Mommy?

Wow, do you behave like a complete twit in real person? Or have you had your ass handed to you so many times you just don't go out anymore? Damn, you're funny. Havn't seen anything like you since....well trolling blunder....and before that I'd have to go back to junior high school.

One thing is certain. The USA cannot long continue down it's current oil based energy consumption path.

 

[Mr. H.]

How much oil does the USA have?

Not much.

Even the oil in the USA is mostly owned by somebody other than the USA.

Exxon and Mobile, ect are NOT the USA.

95% of U.S. oil and gas exploration is carried out by Independents, not major multi-national companies.

How is that possible?
Is every property privately owned even at deep sea, that sounds strange. Isnt it usual that the state owns property at least far out in the sea?
It could have been good income for each state, and how does the state get its income when it dosent own anything?

I'd like to address your questions, but I have no idea what you're asking.

Oil companies are granted a lease by the country that has jurisdiction over the area of water they would like to drill in. The oil companies pay the lease and probably a fair amount of revenue on sales of the oil.

This is why there was trouble with The Obama Administration after the blow-out in the Gulf. The Federal Agency holding the leases tried to shut down all deep drilling wells for safety inspections. The Supreme Court made them retract their shut down order because it was unfounded.

You should go back. You might even graduate this time.

And the administration is still at it, trying to get around the court order by dragging out the administrative process of granting the leases.

Did you beg Mommy not to tell? Even more pathetic.

So you have another excuse to show your ass?...

Now stomp your foot, make the face...

Ok, but are these areas put out to open tender so that basically anyone can compete for an arbitrary area?

In Russia,Iran, Saudi Arabia etc. their are state-owned oil companies that controll all the oil in a monopoly market.
Wouldnt a system like that have been better for you, then the state will get more money to spend on welfare instead of one man running awa with all the money?

Americans drive ridiculously huge SUVs that guzzle gas, and then complain about the cost of gas.

I laugh every time I see someone driving one of those 5,000 lb behemouths.

I picture you scowling with envy at the bus stop !!

I generally play with my laptop or read the latest" news" at the bus stop. The buses are nice down here and I'd rather pay $4, and not have to drive, than put Ohhhhhhhh $30 in diesel in my ride to go to the capital..
Only a stupid fucking murkin would be ashamed of riding duh buss.

If you live in an area that has good public transport, than why drive your own car for regular short trips, especially if you live in a large metro area where traffic is an issue. Its a waste of time, money, and will save you a lot of headache driving in big city traffic.

However, if you live in a more rural or less populated area, public transport is often times either non-existent or completely impractical.

My point being, making a call for public transport is only a legitimate argument in areas and social situations that allow for it. Kind of hard to expect Joe Iowa farmer to ride a bus, and what about Bob the contractor or construction worker? Not exactly doable for him no matter where he lives. Can't take all the tools he will need on a bus or subway.

Of course, but public transport is practically non-existing in the US compared to europe and especially China.
In China you can take a high speed train from Shanghai to Beijing ( 1 318 km) using 4 hours. A distance that is comparable to NYC-Chicago (1 270 km).
The government paid for the line, but since the service (high speed train) is not profittable and demands a large investment cost ($32 billion dollar) it wil not happen in a market with "free competition" without state controll.
Even Russia are building electric trains in Siberia a area that is rural. They can do it because they state have large incomes (oil,gas) that privat persons would have in the US:

That will make US missing a lot of good/welfare services that no-one wants to start up because it is not profittable and has a large investment cost.
Wouldnt it be great to take a high speed train from Chicago to NY that takes about 4 hours instead of a plane using about the same time for city-center to city-center?
The train line itself will cause a lot of benefits eg. transport of freights. The benefits having a electric train is large, youll get higher top speed, faster accelaration, larger capacity. No diesel train can compete with that without having an engine the size of a ship-motor.

But since you have a free market economy you will lack good services like that. And if you get sick you will have to pay for it, I once read about a person that got a snke-bite in the US he had to pay 140.000$ in a mixed economy system he would have paid 0.
But with Obama youre on the right track he is a sensible man, with a more pragmatic wiev on things than hes predecessor George Bush.

The US military is the largest user of fossil fuels.

I think it's blacks. They always have to drive those gas guzzling pimp mobiles with all of that bling weighing it down.

Both China and Russia have less personal vehicles owned by private citizens. China has A lot more people, and you didn't specify where the trains were going to or from in Siberia...

Both governments are socialists/communists.. Meaning there is no real private ownership of property. Which means the actual people themselves do not have the ability or funds to pay for their own medical treatment nor a car they can use to drive across the country. And for that matter I am pretty sure you will need governmental permission to do the traveling anyway.

Socialism/communism and all its flavors are what I call the grand illusion of equality. They do not bring the masses up to the same levels, but rather place them at mutual poverty. The illusion is in the belief that everyone in the "ism" is better because they are all the same now.

If you ever get there at all.

 

[Unkotare]

Private car ownership has exploded in China over the past decade and is likely to continue to grow. China long ago stopped being a communist country in all but name. The government is still oppressive and corrupt, but the old labels don't tell the story anymore.
