So what? It's still a massive spill. Using your logic, all I have to do to prevent a disaster from being considered massive would be to find a large enough area/volume/number to compare it to.

A million people could die, but that's not a massive loss of life because there are several billion people on Earth.

Same thing Z. The difference between you and I is I actively support causes and movements that reduce our dependency and focus on the health of planet versus solely the health of my bank account - environmentalism, anti Global Warming, public transportation, legalization, organic and sustainable farming, clean oceans, I drive a small car, family planning, secularism/humanism, living with my means, recycling, anti corporatism.....

Yeah, but Z, you don't support this shit with VOTES, like I do.

You, like alot of conks, know this shit is right thing but aint willing to make the necessary sacrifices.

You're power consumers addicted to American television, Escalades, Plasma TV's, Sub Zero Fridges the size of my condo, traveling all over the world every weekend, 17 kids following in your footsteps....

Shit is hitting the fan fellas. :nod: We're all going to have to settle for a lower standard of living if were going to survive.

What vote did you make that has made a change to anything? And it's funny because I've seen a lot of Obama stickers on Escalades around here. The only sacrifices you might have made were out of necessity. :nod:

What do you want, Fat man?

1. You're lying about the bumper stickers, and you're a dumbass for using bumper stickers as a indicator of donk hypocrits.

2. I'm an independent voter. If more people embraced my spirit, the world would never have had to know W, Palin, McShithead and Obama. So fuck you coward.

3. How do you know I sacrifice due to necessity?

If we were a rational culture it would actually make us more rather than less confident about offshore drilling because we know that even if there is a massive screw up the situation can be managed without great consequences.

But we are not a rational culture and as a result there ARE great consequences due to erroneous perception. For example: People continue to think that Gulf seafood is dangerous when it was never dangerous at any point. There was never a real problem with it. A classic example of ignorant public response causing economic damage where no real physical damage exists.
Uh oh. NOW you've gone and done it.... :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:
Yup, another post that is so long nobody will read it. :lol:

2. So none of your votes have brought about any kind of policy change in this arena, just like I said.
