Gas price discussion

[LowPlainsDrifter]

Quoth Mr. Flint:

>Again, demand is exceeding supply.

>China's growing economy has something to do with it, as does the fact that there is less and less economically recovarable oil available.

>Oil is not an infinite resource.

And to our detriment, we structured our economy for the last 100 years or so as if it were infinite.

I blame OPEC first and foremost. Their tactics failed in the 1970s and here's hoping they fail again. Now if we could get our government behind hybrid technology instead of chasing that beautiful pipe dream, hydrogen fuel cells, we'd be getting somewhere...

There is so many things wrong with what the ORIGINAL POSTER said, but since we can't talk about politics, i'll shut my mouth.


HERE IS AN IDEA; WHY DON'T WE GET OF OUR FAT ASSES AND WALK, OR RIDE A BIKE,

i am sorry to hear about what has happened but stop complaining you idiot you have one of the cheapest petrol supplies in the world. it is AU$1.30 per litre here. which is more than what you are paying. won't it be good when 100% electric cars go mainstream - the arabs can then go stuff their inflated oil prices up their ****!

Re: F*ck the Middle East and the Gas Companies

$3.15 a gallon I paid today. And that was at the cheapest place in town. This is getting out of hand.

What really pisses me off is that companies like Exxon are still making huge profits. They see that they can raise the prices of gas because people will just blame it on the Middle East and the government.

And, man, why haven't we taken over the Middle East yet? Nothing good comes from there. Now, I know there are good, innocent people there, so that's why we won't bomb it. But we at least need to take it over, if not to stop all those terrorists, but so we can get our f*cking economy back on track. All the good people there would be much better off if they weren't under the rule of ruthless dictators. Anyone that tries to resist, BAM! cap in the ass. We need to team up with Britain and maybe Japan or something and just go in there and take over.

So, how much is gas where you live?

Translation:

"wahhh wahhh wahhh, I want gas but the Middle East got it!!! It's too expensive here so lets go take it from them!!!! They don't do anything anyway"


Yes, the Middle East solely exists to act as an oil supply for the mostly obese US population, so they can drive around the Wal-Mart parking lot for hours looking for a spot that's close to the door.

Go buy a bike.

 

[OzyBoy]

how about getting an electric engine in your car and not have to pay a cent to the oil companies.

 

[check_mate_kid_uk]

you dont need to get so wroyed aobut $3 a gallon, 5 years ago before all the oil trouble, prices here where 75p a liter thats like £3 a gallon roughly which is like over $5 a gallon and thats before prices where high, now they are like 95p a liter which is £3.80 a gallon we are paying close to $7 a gallon!

 

[Lost In Translation]

What i find interesting is that with all the oil Haliburton is stealing in IRAQ you would think the price of petrol for Americans would go down due to larger supply

but just like the contracts with the food for the US Army the contractors rob everyone blind

down with corruption !

for those too thick headed to think

oil price $

oil price after you steal another 10% of worlds oil supply $ + $

now if you got oil $10 a barrel

and you go and steal 10% worlds oil supply

you now got more oil right ?

and as you stole it you can sell it to your own country cheap right ?


then how long is it gunna take for you dopey f*cks to wake and realise that corporate america is screwing you over

you got more oil but the prices are going up ?

they are selling it back to you for more money than you were paying for it before


but because of the very clever pentagon propaganda machine

i see americans saying " bomb iran now we need more oil "

idiots !


no matter how much oil your country steals you still gunna get the prices jacked up

and i'll tell you why

because it hurts you and it makes you angry

and the government is very very smart with it's million dollar think tanks

THEY KNOW the only thing that americans cared about rationing during world war 2 was gas/petrol

they know they need to push a button to get america behind their plan to bomb iran

BUT HOW ?

we can't link them to OSAMA we did that trick with IRAQ

is america dumb enough to fall for the same lie twice ?

NO


we need a new plan. something devious. something that will push them over the edge. something that the average american will feel.

we'll take food off their tabel.

MAKE THEM HATE the middle east

and even though they know it's wrong to bomb innocent women and children

they justify it because better the children being bombed and oil being stolen than oil prices go up and i cant afford to put food on the table for my kids here in the USA


it is all a very clever plan. typical US government

CRISIS CREATION .... CRISIS SOLUTION


my country is no better. they are servants to US foreign policy

aren't oil deliveries publicly traded? If they go up, shouldn't the price of gasoline go up?

correct me if I am wrong but I always had the impression that Haliburton provided services for oil companies( e.g made drills), not steal other countries' oil.

 

[Coolage]

The reason why many Americans don't trust the Middle East is because of terrorists. Not because they have oil.

 

[Lost In Translation]

well everytime i see the news i see how well the oil wells are guarded in the south of IRAQ

thats alot of damn oil

where is it all going ?

surely if America is controlling

my bad

corporate america contractors are pumping that oil out day and night the least they can do is use to supply america with cheap oil

even oil at a reaosnable price


but they prices are going up ?

i smell a rat

the propaganda department is working overtime to make excuses for the prices going up

HATE THE MIDDLE EAST is the vibe thats coming out

[Coolage]

we are not taking the oil. the oil industry is not running at full compacity becasue of so many acts of sabotage. Where do you find that the US is just pocketing the oil?

 

[Lost In Translation]

Americans don't trust ?

how you make an elephant disapear infront of 500 people ?

it has been done before


you so busy looking at other countries as the source of your problems

you need to start looking for the terrorists in you own country

and i am talking about the corporations and government officals WHO CREATE YOUR PROBLEMS

VIETNAM

KOREAN WAR

IRAQ

is this a pattern ?

they keep starting wars to make money

the american people suffer

they make you enemies

they create and train and arm the terrorists

you cannot have a war without an enemy so lets make one up !

lets piss some people off so we have an excuse to start another war and CA$H IN on shares

do you have shares in the major defense contractors ?

the rich people who are in congress do or get jobs after they leave office with those same defense contractors


my country is just as bad

for months i thought about WHY my country sent soldiers to IRAQ

they did nothing to Australia

we marched 200,000 in Sydney

largest protest in my country EVER

No to sending troops to IRAQ


but the government which is supposed to be the will of the people ignored the people

i couldn't make the connection

there had to be big $$$ somewhere for the high up in my country


and months later i found it

http://www.halliburton.com/kbr/infra/rail.jsp

was front page news on the halliburton website before

says $640 millon dollars

is really $1 BILLION


now quote from that page " most remote overland "

it's a train across a desert

no one lives there

hows it gunna make money for that kind of investment ?

my government paid halliburton $1 billion dollars to make a train line across a desert than no one will use

THE LARGEST CONTACT EVER GIVEN IN MY COUNTRY

how many newspapers reported it was our pay off for IRAQ ?

ZERO !

micheal moore don't even have it on his damn webiste

This morniong the price of Gasoline here is 1.39$ /liter and they expect to go up as high as 3 dollars per litre by next week.

It's killing me, because I drive aig Dodge Quad Cab truck. I get about 12 miles to the gallon, city driving. I've parked the truck except for when i REALLY need to use it. (unfortunately a small car is just not practical for me.. I have to carry alot of equipment around)

This is horrible
