Question by Mallory: How can people be so careless and uninterested in the oil spill?
I mean really!
It seems like the country and the government aren’t concerned AT ALL with what’s going on out there in the gulf coast!
It’s almost as if they’re cleaning it up to appease the people, but they’re not even really viewing it as a big deal. They’re so much more concerned with issues overseas to be bothered with really putting the time and effort it takes into fixing the problems here in our own country.
And BP, the ones at fault for ALL OF THIS! Are still sitting pretty, making money, and not learning any lessons from this. Sure, they’ve lost some money, but I doubt it’s enough to really put a dent in the BP Industry. I’d hate to be a relative or family member who’s living in luxury from the wealth that they got from a company that’s killed people, caused people to loose their jobs, destroyed our waters in the gulf coast, and worst of all, killed the animals who have no voice or understanding of what is happening.
It just makes me sick. I’m not an eco-freak, but I do think that our country’s reckless expansion is KILLING this beautiful planet we live on. It’s like all people think about are themselves, and nobody cares that if you look at pictures of earth hundreds of years ago, and compare them to now, we’re living in a garbage dump.
But that’s all fine right? Because when this one gets too bad, we’ll find a new one to destroy. People are the worst virus, or parasite to the universe, and at the moment, BP is at the top of that list. Followed by every other A**Hole that’s enjoying there wealth and money, and not caring about the oil spill in the gulf because they’re not affected by it.
Watch this video I found on Youtube.
See how bad this really is!
And give me your opinion. How do you feel about the oil spill in the gulf coast?

I think you`v said it all! It seems to me that the government is concerned only about the interest of few political options in the country and in leading foreign affairs in a way that brings them more zones of influence and power.

I agree with you, but really think about it. They’re still trying to clean it up, and even if they didn’t, the Gulf has the largest concentration of oil-eating microbes than really any other place in the world. So, eventually, if would clean itself up. But I agree that a lot of people, including the government and BP, don’t really care about what’s going on. People do need to realize that we need to change our ways. Oh, and your link is inaccessible.
Hey, Obama’s guys says it all over, just a little clean up left, he takes credit for doing that, yeah? Obama good boy, from islands, but sheesh, you believe that stuff?
Glad oil not spilling no more, but you right, still big problem, why this happen, how can we prevent, why they have to drill in mile deep water? How much fine to punish BP? Or, do they give money direct to politicians, and they don’t have to change anything? Here another thing, I heard one relief well, will still produce oil, that correct?
So, this may all happen again?
Capitalism isn’t saving us, it’s eating us alive. It owns our government, and many others, too (be glad you don’t live in Russia or China, who both successfully moved from ‘communism’ to capitalism). A few folks are getting really, really, really rich (they like capitalism just fine) while the other 97% of us are slowly suffocating.
If I offered you 100 million dollars to poison the planet and permanently trash American society, would you do it? (Don’t worry, there’s a guy right behind you that will take that money in a heartbeat.) How about 300 million? 800? How about if it’s to trash Mexico, or India, or some African nation? Happens all the time.
Americans are becoming dull-witted. Ancient Rome poisoned itself with lead linings in their aqueducts and they all got stupid. Americans lack the dozen-plus trace minerals we need from a diet that has no minerals in it any more. Our brains got all the trace minerals they needed for millions of years from plants, right up until about 60 years ago. Since then, not so much. Thanks, ADM and Monsanto.
We’re getting dumber, angrier, and more outrageous. Mass murder coupled with suicide is becoming a weekly news story. Emotions override logic on a mass level. We choose shock and entertainment (FOX) over truth (Public TV, Discovery, History Channel).
We believe what we CHOOSE to believe, rather than what’s real, and let someone trick our emotions to benefit themselves. We can’t think straight, and we don’t want to.
We LIKE living in Fantasy Land. Besides, all that oil isn’t in MY back yard; sorry ’bout yours.
Gotta go — my video game is on ‘pause,’ I want to add some entries on Facebook and Twitter and my blog, I need to pick up some Red Bull and Doritos, and we’ve got just enough time to stop at Mickie D’s before the movie. We’ll get home just in time to watch the big game!
Good luck with your, uhh, what was it again?
The oil spill is not the only thing going on in this country & it’s not a top priority. Besides that, with cement & heavy mud being poured in, it may be the end of the story. The nation would rather focus on the economy, the war, etc.
because its not a big deal. The only thing bad is that we lose oil and gas prices will increase
I don’t believe people don’t care. They are getting tired of hearing about it all the time. The world or country for that matter doesn’t stop because of a disaster. Disasters are happening all over our country at any time and in the rest of the world too. Too bad we are so oil dependent on other nations for our greed. Can you do without all the nice things you have; automobile, a/c, electrical appliances, heating, you name it. Trouble is, America waited too long to get into going “Green”. Now, we are paying the price in the Gulf and at the pumps. Other countries are way ahead of us in conservation and alternative fuels because we have been too busy bailing out big business to save homes and jobs. With all the border invaders demanding rights and straining our budgets, they could be used to build solar and wind farms at $5 per day; maybe they would do a retreat. Visit India, take a crap in front of others in their open sewer system on Main st. and you’ll appreciate America a little more.
