For your information "pantie wad", Petit Bois Island is about 20 miles East of my beach, and miles out to sea!

The entire direction of the drift would have to change before my area is in any danger!

Get a map sometime! Oh! I forgot, women cannot read a map!

Sorry!

Maybe I meant "continental" Mississippi?" LOL!

But, it is still closer to Moblile, AL than it is to me!

"I huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow your oil away!"

Besides the Islands are moving in the direction of Alabama anyway! That is the off coastal current working!

You betcha! Thanks for your continued support for the entire Gulf Coast! We need your prayers!

Seriously!

I am but an old man, with limited super powers!

Regards,

Hilarious, but also frightening...

Wildlife Apocalypse: Video of Gulf birds, fish caught in BP oil spill

And what is that? How do you know what I would have done a few years ago?

Originally posted by opuslola Couldn't help but do what TGS would have done a few years ago!

Originally posted by opuslola You would have assigned blame to the Bush Administration! Just as you and your friends still tend to do to this day!

So you are assuming that, had there been an oil spill as bad as this one during the Bush administration, I would have blamed Bush rather than BP? Well, considering that an oil spill is not a natural disaster, its quite clear whose at fault here, and thats BP, Halliburton, and Transocean, who do you think should be blamed?

I blame Bush and the Republicans for the things he did/do. I do not blame Bush for anything that he had no part in, that would just be ridiculous. I'm not a Republican, you are, and by definition its your job to blame people for absolutely ridiculous things they had no part in.

And so you admit that the only reason you are supporting BP in this thread is because Obama is the president and you feel like he has to be blamed for everything, even though none of this was clearly his fault? Peoples livelihoods have been devastated, the environment has been devastated, and you are so bitter that you come into a thread to defend the criminals that caused this mess...real mature.

Originally posted by opuslola NO! Because it happened on Obama's watch!

BP's violations span many years and it turns out it was corruption within agencies in Lousiana as well as at the federal level which prevented crack downs on BP.

BP didnt just start breaking the rules under Obama. Rules were broken for years, in fact, BP has more violations than any other oil company.

So no, Obama is not to be blamed for the oil spill occurring, just as Bush cannot be blamed for Hurricane Katrina happening.

Stop being so childish about it, think a little bit before you post.

Originally posted by opuslola Every thing that happened during Bush's watch, has been blamed by you and supporters like you not on the originator of the problem, but upon Bush and his administration!

Name one thing that we blamed on Bush which was out of his control. Can you?

Originally posted by opuslola  These very words are still being bandied around by the current Obama administration speakers and representatives!

As far I know know, the Obama administration has , and rightly so, blamed the Bush administration for the economic crisis, which is 100% correct. What else has Obama blamed Bush for?

Originally posted by opuslola Don't you ever watch the news?

I do, I also read the news as well, and I do not get my news from one source, but a variety of sources representing a variety of different opinions (Aljazeera, BBC, Russia Today, amongst many many others). Then once I get my news, I make sure that what I am being told is true, that is the single most important part.

You apparently dont. What you do is get your biased "news" from Fox "News", because thats your only source of information, and all they do throughout the day is what Conservatives are good at, lying, manipulating, misrepresenting, and fabricating.

Dont you ever wonder why when you come here to discuss with the rest of us you have absolutely no facts to back up your claims, or are simply not knowledgeable on the topics? Somewhere down the line something has got to click...come on man.

And let me reiterate once again, just so everyone's clear:

Peoples livelihoods have been devastated, the environment has been devastated, and you are so bitter that you come into a thread to defend the criminals that caused this mess...real mature.

Originally posted by opuslola You certainly love to use the word "mature!" I assume that you consider the ability to use that word in a disdainful manner as something that a "mature" person might want to use it?

You are assuming I am using it a disdainful matter. However, I am not, I just think the way you are acting is a bit immature.

Originally posted by opuslola Being mature, means that you are able to understand others, and have some means to understand that some people, due to lack of age and experience, sometimes take radical views of the world and the people in it!

Is that what you think it means?

Originally posted by opuslola You seem for now at least, unable to place yourself in someone else's position? You have little or no empathy!

I have no empathy?

So far, since I joined this forum, I have been a supporter of:

• racial equality
• homosexual rights
• womens rights
• universal healthcare
• the poor and the lower class
  
• the environment
• government regulations preventing corporations from screwing over the population

You seem to be against all of the above. So who has no empathy? Everything I support is beneficial to other people.

Originally posted by opuslola Yes, I could post dozens of sites that contridict yours! But, you would merely dismiss them as biased, while claiming your sites are un-biased! So, why should I bother? My sites will not change a "closed mind?"

If you sites including factual information supported by sources, then there is no way I could deny them. However, do not post opinion pieces, as those are merely OPINIONS.

If you have FACTS that you want to present, by all means do so. FACTS ARE IRREFUTABLE. You are merely using this as an excuse because you have none.

If what I am posting is propaganda and lies, please expose me as a liar and a propagandist to everyone.

Originally posted by opuslola I am finding it hard to keep responding to a "wall" so, basically I am leaving all of the propaganda concerning these events to you, and you, almost alone!

Yup, all the facts and sources I post are all propaganda.

FYI, maturity has nothing to with age.
