The Obama administration said "never let a serious crisis go to waste", well the cheap Chicago politics organizer is now going full blast, using this oil leak to try to ram his eco-political energy sh-t down our throats.
It is a good thing he is of mixed blood, because when this turd finally floats to the surface and is exposed for the cheap huckster he is; the Negro population of the U.S. can say-- he's half white, not one of ours.

Obtuse? Really? :D So says the man who apparently had no idea that a nuclear blast (of ANY type) released neutron radiation and would certainly produce some level of contamination, which when carried by oil particles, would likely rise to the surface. How much, I do not know. And based on your Wile E. Coyote/"damn the torpedoes!" style posts in this thread, I believe it's safe to say that you have no idea either. Not that that would stop you from claiming to know. :rolleyes:Quote:

It's simply not a subject that I know enough about. But I would say that when it comes to nuclear devices, it probably is best to err on the side of caution, especially since some success is now being found with a less "explosive" solution.
As for knowing me, Bob... let's not play silly games here. You don't know me at all - and I'm really not making any attempt to get to know you either (when have I ever?). Why? Well, I've seen your pretzel logic posts on this forum for years. Typically I just laugh and skip over whatever illogical point you're trying to make. Like a dog hanging onto its final bone, it has seemed that you'd argue that 2+2=5 if someone would allow you to keep going. But if you think that you really have enough wit and spunk to play The Dozens with me, by all means... give it your best shot, old stick. Hell, I've enjoyed that since I was about 5. Pick a topic related to economics or business and we can really have some fun. You strike me as the sort of "wise" fellow who could explain supply side economics to me, or what role derivatives played in the financial crisis last year. I mean, heck, you seem to have capping oil wells down pat... along with how to set off a nuclear weapon and save the Gulf of Mexico. Those other things should be easy pickings for a fellow with your worldly experience and vast knowledge.
Hey... you liked my lil joke so well, here's something else for you to chew on. I think it's Persian, but it was told to me by my grandfather many years ago:
"He that knows not, and knows not that he knows not is a fool. Shun him
He that knows not, and knows that he knows not is a pupil. Teach him.
He that knows, and knows not that he knows is asleep. Wake him.
He that knows, and knows that he knows is a teacher. Follow him."
On this particular topic, I freely admit that I am a pupil. I know not, and I know that I know not. But you, well... let's just say that I wouldn't follow you to the grocery store, I doubt that you could teach me anything and I don't think you're asleep. So what does that leave us with? ;)
You have a good evening. :wave:
ROFL. It doesn't work like that, you have to prove that your method works before trying it....Quote:

No, something more akin to the episode of the Simpsons where Homer gets a gun and uses it to turn lights off, change channels on the tv and open cans of beer.

Have a nice day.

You can even go on dive trips there.

So as you give me advice on forum ettiquete, perhaps a look in the mirror (or a review of your own posts) is in order. I'm just sayin'. ;)
What knowledge you do possess is usually overshadowed by posts like these. And that's why in the 7 years you've been here, I've never paid much attention to you. I know my limitations. Sad that you can't see your own. The grumpy old man schtick does wear thin after awhile though.

I will simply take your posts as grade school blather or wiki twit type.
I apologize for thinking more highly of your usual rhetoric than you prefer.
As to how much attention you give, or do not give, que sera, sera this is a inter-net forum. As a leisure activity, opinions are considered, as such.
And you are overly sensitive.
Fini.

Yes but Bikini atoll is in the middle of nowhere figuratively speaking and the oil well in question is in the middle of the gulf of mexico? Oh and how many years since the tests at Bikini atoll? I guess my example wasn't the best thoughQuote:

Now some sites seem to say that the fish are safe to eat, but equally a lot of others say they're not safe to eat.Quote:
Sport divers who visit Bikini to dive on the shipwrecks must eat imported food. The lagoon is teeming with fish, but none of it is safe to eat.
As you well know the gulf of mexico is a fishing ground, I really don't think it's all that intelligent to detonate a nuclear device to seal the well unless it's the very last resort.
It should also be mentioned that the tests on the Atoll took place about 50 years ago, so while in 50 years time the gulf of mexico would most likely be safe, it woudn't necessarily be fine now.
I tend to agree. All this anger directed towards BP is bs unless it's proven that BP's practices directly caused this accident. This could have potentially happened to any other company anywhere else in the worldQuote:

I don't use the term "negro" or "negroid". I'm also of the belief that those who do are racist! And yes there are Black Racists!
As an aside, the father of three of my nephews and nieces, who is a person of color, when I was questioning him about how his hood- views other ethnic groups, he pointed out some very dark Negroes and said, "...those, the blue-black ones, we call them Africans. They have the big lips and flat noses."Quote:

There are two ways to use this term...one is very racistQuote:

I fail to see a problem with the statement Blue Blacks are from Africa. It seems to be a fact not a prejudice. Certainly can be ascertained from facts.Quote:

I am glad it does not bother you.Quote:

The "black" community fully divides and separates itself, as much as any -Caucasian ethnic separation.
It was a shame my almost brother-in-law ended up in prison for armed robbery, but I learned much from him.

Of course if you do, you dare not say so as then by your rhetoric, you are a racist for having said so.
So as I said, you have your opinion and believe as you wish.

Hey guys.
Let's leave this topic for the private message section of our forum.
Let's stay in topic. This issue concerns all of us, of every race, creed or color.
peace dammit!

Now just why are the beef and kidney pies drilling off our shores??? They need to drill off the coast of England!
