Default Re: Boycott BP

Huh, what is the opinion at this point? Day what 60 and no relief from the flowing oil in sight. Only estimates getting LARGER on the amount of crude pouring into the Gulf.

What does boycotting a company have to do with our biggest ally? Corporations are separate and autonomous from government in our style of government, well supposed to be anyhow.

I will say anyone buying fuel from BP continue to prove the absolute ignorance of our populace. This oil may be in the gulf, but make no mistakes our fishing will be detrimentally affected in the coming years. Remember the banner Blue fin season? Oh yeah they spawn in the gulf, in the middle of that giant blob of oil you keep seeing images of surrounding the leaking well.

I mean come on do not speak such ridiculous drivel if you do not know the factual issues here. BP ignored tell tale warnings on that rig the days leading up to and the day of the explosion and continued to drill. They had the fail safe device only partially connected, because it was easier to run safety checks on. This is not to let our government off the hook, they are responsible in a heavy way as it is their role to ensure this BS can not happen, but BP clearly put profits ahead of all else, including 11 crewmen who lost there lives.

If you are going to speak in defense of BP be sure you have some actual facts on your side....
