Boycott BP

[Skull Pilot]

If a BP Station has the cheapest gas, that's where I'll be filling up.

Maddy has cataracts--she gets carried away sometimes.

They can fix cataracts, they can't fix stupid.

The CEO of BP lives in Britain. Britain will not extradite to a country that uses the death penalty. They think it's barbaric.

Yet more hysterical whining by idiots.

 

[California Girl]

Boycotting a company that you're expecting to pay for a clean up and compensation. Yep. That's liberal logic. Fucking non-existent.

 

[Gatekeeper]

I don't think anyone will have to worry about boycotting BP, After paying for this they may be out of business or slip a name change in the mix.

The issue is not just with the likes of BP, it's the fact that NO ONE can guarantee any operation will run flawlessly, regardless of it's nature.Everyone knows the risks, this unfortunate ACCIDENT, is going to be with us for a very long time.

Besides, WE, the consumers are demanding these products,while others are taking the risks to provide them, with our blessings. So who is to blame? We all are.

I don't know how to go about seeking vengence on BP for desecration of the Gulf. I am beside myself. My best friend #3 was going to St. George Island with her family for Mother's Day this weekend. But they will probably cancel because the oil slick will have reached those sugary sand beaches by then.

About a month after the ocean's shores have been befouled, the inland waterways will begin showing the devasation. The Wakulla River, where my kidlet taught me to canoe. The St. John's River, where we hung out in a biker bar in St. Mark's on Fridays after work, eating broiled shrimp and drinking cheap beer, just watching the Earth do it's thing.

Eventually the oil will travel the underground and above-ground aquifer to every Florida body of water, including the beleagered Everglades...a natural phenomena unparrelled on Planet Earth and precious not only to Florida, but to the entire Planet for the role it plays in our wildlife, ecosystem and so on.

Death would not be too severe a punishment for BP's CEO, as I see it.

Don't buy BP gasoline!​

Try to boycott, especially if you are purchasing large quantities for a commercial trucking, farming or airline business.

I welcome any additional ideas on how to afflict BP.

I am just heart broken. I cannot tell you what this preventable insult to the Earth will be like for all of Florida, and beyond.

Tell her to go and enjoy mothers day not a sign of oil on the beaches,, and park your car and walk..I refuse to demonize a corporation for an accident. Sheesh people.

If it can be shown that the decison not to have the equipment that would have prevented this accident was inappropriate, then we really ought to forever ban that company from drilling in our territorial waters AND forever ban them from selling products into our market.

We cannot simply commit corporacide since that corporation is BRITISH petroleum, but we ought to punish it in whatever way is possible.

But ehn too, we ought to hang CONGRESS for allowing ANY company from putting our shores at risk like this.

So everybody will get off scot free EXCEPT the good people whose livlihoods will be effected by this spill.

They may or may not be compensated for their losses.

Somehow I'm not surprised to see a statement like this.

 

[WillowTree]

isn't it a little counter productive to "afflict bp" and "boycott bp"? Seems to me you would want them to make money in order to have money in order to clean up this mess.. Sheesh people..

 

[WillowTree]

I must say this is the most inane thread ever.

Boycott as you deem fit, but calling for the death of the CEO is over the top.

when libruls bleed koolaid,, that's what you get, inane.. death indeed..

gonna park your car? or keep risking the enviornment?

This was an accident...

Sure, if you like to call something caused out of negligence an "accident" - whatever. I know I'm just a mere human, I have no right to question a corporation.

BP also from what I have seen pays their employees very well, and provides them with good benefits.

HOW DOES THAT CHANGE THE FACT I'M BREATHING OIL FUMES RIGHT NOW?

I do think they should pay to clean up the oil spill, and fix whatever went wrong.

Nevermind the fact they are putting people out of business for years to come, I guess they shouldn't have to pay for that - those people can just go fuck themselves, right? "Hey Forest Gump, FUCK YOU!" is what BP should tell them?

Always the victim.


Oh, the drama.

i'm somewhat more interested in boycotting bp and forcing fund managers to divest all bp stock than i am in prosecuting the bp ceo, tony hayward, for murder and seeking the death penalty.

But 11 rig workers have already died.

gulf oil rig workers' families: Remembering the 11 who died

as the oil pollutes the inland waterways, children will be poisoned and eventually they'll develop cancers, etc. And they too will have been killed by bp. The endangered species which will die off, such as manatees and sea turtles, might not be adequate to support a murder charge. But the befouling of the everglades and the final collapse of that system -- unique on plant earth -- will have a very abrupt and harmful effect on the earth and those effects will cause even more people to die.

Murder is not always face to face, yanno. I fail to see any distinction between killing with a bomb and killing with oil. A murder charge will lie if the actions of bp's ceo resulted in deaths and those results were foreseeable, and proximately caused by bp, -- and i say "yes", they were.

Hayward's as guilty of murder as the son of sam.

Here's a link to an interview he gave about the spill.

so, i guess we can say you are definitely for the death penalty.. Is this correct?

You are BP's mouthpiece? Air quality is a legitimate concern sparky. If one of your relatives had breathing issues or severe allergic reaction to the chemicals in the air..they have evry right to make a claim as do this poster.. If your response is "just move"... Relocation would be BPs responsibility.

 

[JWBooth]

Well then do us a favor and stop.

I can see than hundreds of thousands of people having to breathe oil fumes is just a joke to you. You probably think most all human suffering is just some big joke - all of it, that is, except when it happens to you.

GUESS WHAT DIPSHIT - OIL FUMES ARE NO LAUGHING MATTER.

Death? Maybe too much. I'd be satisfied with making him bath in oil for a few months - and taking everything he owns.

So when 747 nosedives into the ground (assuming the pilot survives), he's to be drawn and quartered?

I'm no expert but I'd bet the results of the nose dive will have accomplished your desired dismemberment.

 

[JWBooth]

If a BP Station has the cheapest gas, that's where I'll be filling up.

There isn't one locally, so it is of no consequence for me.
If the price is the lowest, that's were I fill up.
If it ain't, I will institute a momentary boycott and go where the price is lowest.

HOW DOES THAT CHANGE THE FACT I'M BREATHING OIL FUMES RIGHT NOW?

How to stop breathing Oil Fumes
Step 1. Procure a plastic bag.
Step 2. Pull it over your head and seal it tightly
Step 3. Take numerous deep breaths

He certainly is seasoned. I bet he's just waiting for the looting to start.
