ST's BP Rantings

[jillian]

Filled up at BP this morning... cheapest in the area...

i'm surprised. usually citgo is cheaper.

 

[Dr.House]

For completeness, could you provide the list of companies that BP sells petrolium products to?

You're kind of limiting your boycott and may be unkowingly supporting your hated BP...

 

[SpidermanTuba]

Do it right. Don't buy anything with any plastic in it or packaged in plastic, either, Tuba.

Since plastic is only a tiny fraction of how a barrel gets used, I'm not so worried about it.

But if you can show me that a certain item has plastic made from BP petro in particular, I would be happy to not use it.

I'm sure he draws the line at supporting communist dictatorships, geesh!

 

[SpidermanTuba]

I used to buy my gas from a BP station. Since their truly enormous fuck up, I've been buying my gas elsewhere. According to the knee-jerk neocons here that makes me truly stupid, socialist and short-sighted for not wanting to give them more money to fix their mistake.

Oh well, c'est la vie.

Who is the chick in your avatar?

What do you care?

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Attacking the country? Really? Do accidents not happen in Liberal Land? I can understand being upset and unhappy but get a grip. Get out and do something to make it better instead of sitting on your ass trolling.

Good point, I don't see his black ass out there mopping up the oil. I reckon he's too busy waiting on his monthly welfare check.

I'm white you fucknut.

So you say.

hmmmmmm... supporting commies who mean us no harm versus supporting countries that funnel money to terrorist organizations?

dunno.. maybe he just wants the cheapest fuel.

LOL! Why would I lie?

 

[Middleman]

Any of the companies could have a spill. This was an accident waiting to happen. The problem lies with our collective insatiable thirst for oil and, lack of comprehensive regulatory oversight and enforcement.

Merely shopping at a different gas station is a feel good, do nothing course of action. How about, instead, giving up that weekend excursion and doing something closer to home?

 

[Si modo]

Do it right. Don't buy anything with any plastic in it or packaged in plastic, either, Tuba.

Don't fly, don't drive on the roads, don't buy products using trucks to ship, don't buy anything with plastics in it, for starters.

Just sayin', I mean if you want to do it right.

Americans consume petroleum products at a rate of three-and-a-half gallons of oil and more than 250 cubic feet of natural gas per day each! But, as shown here petroleum is not just used for fuel.

I don't know, why do you lie?

 

[Luissa]

I have half a dozen friends currently working on the Alaskan Pipeline.

My bestfriends dad works for BP at the Gathering Station up in Prudhoe Bay,even worked with Todd Palin.

I do know he gets paid very well to work in those conditions, gets large bonuses, good benefits, and my friend's mom gets a bonus if her husband works too much during the year.

BP is not only the company that had the oil flood, its the company doing a piss poor job of dealing with the flood.

This was an accident waiting to happen.

The above was an excuse waiting to happen.

Merely shopping at a different gas station is a feel good, do nothing course of action.

Shopping at a BP or BP brand station would make me puke. Sorry, I don't wanna puke. Its not really about feeling good, its about avoiding feeling bad.

How about, instead, giving up that weekend excursion and doing something closer to home?

Sorry, I don't see the connection. Is putting fishermen out of business part of the process of refining oil into gasoline?

 

[Dr.House]

Don't have them here...

Every time you turn around there's another Valero popping up!


Besides price, the determining factor is if you charge me more to use my card then you won't get my business... I wouldn't call that a boycott, though...

BP is already a convicted felon. Lot of good the system did.

How on earth does a corporation become a convicted felon?

They get charged with and convicted. Duh. In this case BP pleaded guilty.
