  • And I say the oil spill is from my a-ss yo. ( Now deep)

  • When a plane crashes, and a lot of people dies, maybe that was a message from god? To tell us that planes are bad, and we should just walk from america to europe, or to japan? Just like jesus did, yeaaa, walking on the water. much more fun than planes. And if you are thinking about boats, nope, titanic sank, and that was clearly message from god that ships are bad... What a wonderful god we have? He has such a great way of showing us what is bad an what is not bad :) Thank you jesus, our savior

  • I got one thing outta that. That reporter is extremely hot. :D

  • what ted turner should do is invest in alternative energy, he is one of the few rich guys who happen to be pro alternate energy and has the money to do something about it

  • "I'm not real religious, but I am a nut"!!

  • I believe the oil spill was a message from God so were all those small towns wrecked by torrnado's. If your house was destroyed by a tornado, or a loved one killed, or you almost were killed God is sending you a message. No, actually Ted made that statement because, he and others like T-Boone Pickens want to invest billions in alternative energy and NOT oil and so they are tapping into stupid people who think acts of nature are examples of God's will.

  • I suppose god doesn't wan't us to have kids anymore, pregnancy kills more woman than mining or drilling by far.

  • @rmarcontell Although iam not an atheist but your comment is true.

    LOL

  • @CorrerPorVida You asked for a Turkish idiot -- I give you Cenk Uygur.

  • since whn did we start sending people to mars? U do realize there is like a million different things we still dont kno bout our planet rite?

  • God trying to tell us not to drill? Ted, try the laws of nature, human fuckups, greed, etc...what an ignorant nutter...

  • Ted Turner is partially off his rocker

    This is our fault and we should try not to have a system that has cataclysmic flaws so that pundits and puppets can make green energy go away

    This might be the most reasonable christian ever

  • Our 48YO Pastor recently slept with his 16YO daughter’s friend & was found out when webcam footage was posted online.

    He then had the gall to preach a nauseating (adults only) ‘sermon of understanding’ saying that while he loved his dear wife, this girl had “real skills”- giving him “stunning whorish orgasms that will stay with me forever, dragging me towards hellfire”.

    Turns out he’s a member of on online ‘Do the Daughter’s Mate’ club, selling ‘DDM’ T-Shirts, mugs & other merchandise.

  • @rmarcontell pretty much. forgivable.

  • @rmarcontell nope, no religion is ok, at all.

  • Is that man at 0:50 a retard?

  • LOL. Silly religious nuts. Human species is weak. Deep sea drilling is dangerous just because of the fact that if anything goes wrong we might not be able to fix it, we knew of this risk before hand, and set regulations on corporations to keept this from happening. What happend was human error. Sometimes I think we would be better of if machines where doing the governing, they are not subject to greed and bribery.

  • I'm thinking everything is a sign now.

  • @ChrisSniped

    You are seeing the result of ignorant religous people supporting bastards who fuck up the planet feeling no remorse. But yeah its sign of the crazyness of the human condition, some can handle the truth and some can't or don't want to.

  • According to Ted God doesn't want us to drill off shore because there could be a seriously fucked up disaster. So God causes a seriously fucked up disaster to send us a message...

  • Your show is boring.. Not that I dont care about topics you are reporting but just the way it's presented.

  • Atheists please, I'm begging you, stop spewing hate and rhetoric. Stop being so fucking smug, and stop claiming to be free thinkers while mindlessly chanting the mantras of your heroes. You sound almost exactly like the people you're railing at, who are by the way, only human. Don't make "God is Not Great" your bible and smack people upside the haircut with it. It mirrors misguided theism because it's misguided atheism. It makes us all look stupid.

  • @Edwinward

    God is not great, he causes oil spills so he's an asshole.

  • @Shadowlit001 LOL. I suppose if I thought He existed I would be scared shitless of Him.

  • doesn't ted turner want most of the population dead anyway???

  • Maybe we should join in with Reverend Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. God hates the Gulf Coast God hates the oil companies and God hates me and God hates you and we are going to split hell wide open. Or maybe BP just fucked up and let's just leave it at that!

  • Does saying you're "somewhat religous" mean that you're "somewhat crazy?"

  • Well, I'm an atheist (no that doesn't mean I think I'm better than religious people), and after a lot of time to just sit back and look at the world and spend a lot of time thinking, I guess if you were to make God a metaphorical symbol of the laws of action and reaction, that one bad action could lead to a bad reaction, aka Karma, then sometimes people can say "God" and not be too crazy. Smart guy once said God is a concept by which we measure our pain. He was pretty cool.

  • Yes, the Lord is tired of having the peaks of the mountains being knocked off for more coal. Yep, that's the answer.

  • I want to apologize on behalf of God for this gross treatment he has given to this poor poor oil company.

  • No, the message is not from god, but from the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The message (as I know his will) is this:

    Stop using oil!

  • Since when does Ted believe in God. He and Jane separated because she 'got God'. Weird

  • All we can do is wonder, we are helpless in the end. But we are directly involved with the now. It's up to us to clean up our mistakes. Just saying does anyone know God on a one on one bases other than just through the Bible and prayer? so there for how can we blame God ? maybe God has no plan for rescueing the flesh.

  • has anyone realized that once god is removed from the equation that it all makes sense??? anyone?! seriously, because it totally makes sense when you don't try to make sense of how it could make sense in a fictional being's mind for him... seriously, it totally does.

  • the reporter on here is really annoying

  • Massive fail. This guy is a like a maths exam: you gets points for the answer, but more points for the reasoning.

  • LOL

  • There should be a LAW regulating how humans get replaced by machines and for what. All work like mining etc with health risks, let machines do the dirty work and humans remote control them. Let not cost cutting take priority over human, let it be expensive for businesses. If a bank employee can be replaced by a machine that doesn not mean he/she has to. Not if we prioritize society, the rate of families losing work in a region. What costs more in the end anyway? Let machines mine & stop drilling

  • conservatives losing at elections might be a message from God as well.

  • @rmarcontell ha! i like that it totally works!

  • does ted have stock in alternative energy companies?

  • You heard the lady, they can't plug the hole. Yes... that deep wet hole.

  • For all the worry about the long lasting effects of the oil spill, it now seems that native bacteria have eaten it allll up! So now whats the message from GHod or Gia?

    "Its OK, you're not so big I can't handle your messes".?

  • Oh, G*D doesn't mind our latest oil spill: She knows that we're mutant monkeys (we do have a tail, Creatards!) and are too dummy-headed to know better. It's Mother Aida Frigga, First-born Daughter of G*D, Who is pissed. Al "Manbearpig" Gore, pimp supreme, and his stable of political Newage whores, had better watch his ass. Seriously!

  • well if its a message from god then its a clumsy way, killing and poisoning thousands of animals, etc, could have just said "dont drill in the sea", it would be a clumsy and primitive way to send a message, and a vague way, so either it was just a human accident, or a terrible person calling himself god did it.. but there is nothing to even hint at the existence of a god for any rational person so to believe he was to blame is 10 steps beyond the completely irrational

  • If the oil spill maybe a message from god.

    then god murder fish, sea turtles, shrimp, and other living things underwater around the oil spill area in the gulf.

    and O yes, there also a another oil rig explosion west of BP spill.

  • @davidlee110 message that humans should fuck over the earth so much and think of different ways to use resources moron

  • @davidlee110 shouldn't*

  • @scout6686 it did.

    look it up.

  • if i ever see this guy on the street i am going to stone his ass wtf r u kidding me

  • @rmarcontell Nicely said!! lolol and sadly sooooo true.

  • Human guilt monkey. All outcomes are assigned a self-doubting, positive/negative blame mechanism. God's disapproval: Look at those floods, hurricanes, oil spills. God's approval: We won the football game, we didn't get fired, our cancer went into remission. At every turn blame is assigned for or against us. That'll keep us on the road to heaven!

    I wonder if the oil spill stopped in the Gulf because we learned our God damned lesson or because we needed a God damned miracle?

  • I don't care if they think god or satan doesn't want us drilling offshore or mining coal.. So long as they're a voice of reason against coal and oil.

  • jeez gods an asshole. what did all that sea life do to him.

  • simply put...religions & politics don't mix. Never have & never will; given, politicians & clergy folk will never learn reality or common sense.

  • hey i just farted and accidentally shit my pants in the process, this might be a message from god to say : "hey stop eating so much spicy food" <_<

  • @Trevor1182 no bumb ass it was ur body ur gettin to old to continue to eat some things that u could eat at an younger age

  • Mr. Turner, you need to quit wondering and cease being religious. God is very, very real, very much alive, and you need to get it figured out.

  • Yeah and when your wife visited me last night God was trying to tell you that you SUCK in bed! But on the other hand, if good stuff happens they also say "thank God".

  • @FireOfEire Xcellente! Xcellente indeed. ;) -lol

  • Give no credit to God for the things he does make but make him take the brunt when humans screw up AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN.

  • It's ok I heard Ted Turner is going to dress up as Captain Plant and kick all the BP ceo's in the nuts "CAPTINNNNNN PLANT".......!

  • @METALMAN4Wii

    It's "Captain Planet".

  • na man ur wrong, the end is near

  • Omg this gut is full of shi t. He is a major investor in green energy products he has said countless times that people need to start buying or installing green products that don't require oil. He is against oil not because of God but because he has invested billions in products against oil such as wind energy and solar energy he is a liar,

  • @MrNocommunism92 maybe just maybe he's not a liar but believes we need to change from fossil fuel and he demonstrates this by *gasp* actually putting his money where his mouth is!Wow what a freaking concept to actually not only say something righteous but to actually follow through with it through actions that demonstrate what you're talking about.I don't know Turner but in this one instance I applaud him.

  • The Book of Revelation the Bible talks about what could be this oil spill look it up here on youtube

  • @majorl31 Nowhere in the bible is an oil spil mentioned.

  • @MattBaumann777 "gulf oil spill and bible prophecy" put this in your search bar on youtube and see how some disagree with you

  • @MattBaumann777 The problem with that is it's sort of a kin to interpreting Nostradamous. The bible never says "there will be an oil spill" which you think it would say since God is bound by neither space nor time so it would make more sense for him to say it directly instead of in riddles.

  • @MattBaumann777 The Bible does say that "The love of money is the root of all evil."

  • Disaster upon disaster seems to be occurring. And much of it is not being done by foreign terror groups! British Petroleum and the USA itself are the culprits. Why should God perform yet another miracle for nations who disregard His Will? Is He obliged?

  • Causing a disaster that destroys an entire ecosystem is a way of an all-loving and omnipotent being to tell us we need to behave. There is lots of evidence that praying has been very effective in the last 2000 years, it made the world a place full of joy. So come on, let's pray that little oil stain away!

  • @OhReallyNoWai lol 

  • We can see how incompetent and helpless they are to face this disaster. Why on earth they drill miles away from the shore and then go down thousands of feet bellow the water ? That's already a loaded message that they don't have the same or more amount of oil on ground than under the sea floor. They will go again and again to drill offshore like a mirage and will fail miserably and make us and the wild life suffer until the people wake up and dump them in the oil wel

  • They can't plug the hole because BP drilled over 25,000 feet into the earth, To really understand the horror of this act, google the words "Lindsey Williams talks with Alex Jones about deadly gases coming from the BP oil spill"

  • I'm an atheist, but I have no problem lying in order to stop mining for coal and drilling for oil. God is communicating with us? Why of course he is.

  • God? All these stupid problems could had been prevented if the corporations would just had been a little less dickish and actually spend the money required for proper safety measures.

  • @DarklingX yea i know. but if you take it's use as fuel out of the equation then oil would become an extremely cheap commodity. we could probably get what we need with just a few domestic on-shore wells. so we could break all dependence on imported oil, and would certainly not need to drill off-shore.

  • Really? And who's going to regulate the Government? Check out the video I just uploaded. Shortsightedness in the Deep Horizon . if you don't believe God may have had anything to do with it! I doubt he had anything to do with the blow-out but I do believe he moves in mysterious ways- Stretch of facts semmingly unrelated or not, Ohio is up River from New Orleans, therefore what happens in New Orleans effects the shipping on the Mississippi River from Ohio!

  • STOP already. This a a repeat of the 1979 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

    1979 gas shortage, do you remember that?

    watch?v=GHmhxpQEGPo&feature=pl­ayer_embedded

    Rachel Maddow points out the exact same oil spill that happened in the Gulf of Mexico in 1979. BP is doing the exact same thing they did in 1979.

    If you don't remember the past, you are doomed to relive it.

  • Really? And who's going to regulate the Government? Check out the video I just uploaded ( Shortsightedness in the Deep Horizon ) if you don't believe God may have had anything to do with it! I doubt he had anything to do with the 'blow-out' but I do believe he moves in mysterious ways- Stretch of facts semmingly unrelated or not, Ohio is up River from New Orleans, therefore what happens in New Orleans effects the shipping on the Mississippi River from Ohio!

  • If they were not supressing over unity we would not need oil.

  • God is not into political parties. Why do athiests assume god is republican. I hate democrats and republicans. There both bad.

  • I like his comment at (2:43)

    “We'd be better off if the government regulated these companies a little better”

    Get a clue! We’d be better-off if government officials were held accountable like everyone else, Has anyone been fired or demoted?

    Yah right, THEY NEVER ARE

    Did regulators catch Bernie Madoff?

    Hell no! even after several warnings, but a few tried to get jobs working for him,

    Our government is a cesspool of incompetence and corruption,

    They need to be liable for their actions

  • WHAT A F-IN IDIIIIOT!!!!!! IM NOT TOO RELIGIOUS! WELL YOUR NOT TOO BRIGHT EITHER....DUMB ASSS

  • The oil spill is obviously Cthulhu saying 'Plug this hole you insignificant morsels' :p

  • Ridiculous theory. That's like saying car accidents is God's way of saying don't drive. Lmfao!

  • If Ted Turners "God" caused this I would say that his god is one fucked up asshole for causing so much destruction.

  • "We are trying to send people to Mars..." No we're not, dumb bitch. That was one of Bush's psychotic ideas, it never materialized. We don't have the money.

  • Father open eyes,drawing men to you....

  • the sea's will run black?

  • I thought Ted Turner is an ATHEIST? Yikes! Give this fickle schmuck back to the Jesus Freaks!

  • i think it is too! i mean seriously, we are the protectors of this earth and people treat this home to bad stuff, what i mean is, all they care about is money, they dont care what they are doing to this envirement they just care about money!

  • Turner is close! It was allowed by God to happen. Man's heart is desperately wicked. This is a snapshot of Wormwood turning the waters into blood from the book of Revelation, one of many judgements of God in the Tribulation period. We are not there yet, but It is coming folks.

  • Ted Turner is an idiot... js

  • yes pray to god to fix it and all the fish wont die idiots

  • I find it amazing they can make a IPAD but they cant fix a OI LEAK??? LIES!!!!!

    ITS ALL LIES!!!! look up the truth!!!!

  • Yeh , your right ...God just came by and told me in person. Said he would do it if he had the time too , but the World keeps getting too busy!

  • Should we PRAY now? No thanks, this is because of humanity and humanity will hopefully fix it. No almighty bitches involved.

  • I believe it is a message from god too. It all says in the bible. People refuse to believe, because again.. THEY JUST DON'T BELIEVE HE EXIST. That's ok though, let them have their say. God has said, do not judge, swear or curse those who won't take his word for it. We need to focus on spreading out his message to the people who will believe in him. Pray for those who don't believe. Let god take care of those who persecute you. Their time will soon come. -- God blesses you all! :)

  • Comment removed

  • @skinheadal I'll have to say your right on this one.Not even the so called smartest experts can't figure this out. People are so mean and nasty these days you can't even bring up GOD lest they get angry. Signs of the times I guess. GOD bless!

  • @zerozipnada

    because not all of us believe in the same thing and we're sick and tired of being preached to

  • @ricecracker420 I rest my case.

  • @skinheadal jesus enjoys plugging gods hole :)

  • @skinheadal I dont believe in god.

    and I dont think talking to the ceiling is going to change any thing xD

  • so much for him being an atheist

  • People are fucking stupid. "I don't understand this thing, so it must be a message from god!" Get over your middle-aged superstition and educate yourselves you dumb cunts.

  • Isn't Ted Turner the guy that believes most of humanity should be wiped out. Psycho

  • If anything, this is mother nature saying "You people want oil? I'll give you some oil. Lots of it bitches."

  • @SexSteakSoda XD Of coruse she is...Payback's a bitch.

  • You've got to be fucking kidding me... I can't believe how stupid some people are. This idiot comes up with some psychotic idea and the bitch buys into it. Only in America can someone worship some fairytale and NOT be thrown in a mental institution. I take that back, the entire Middle East is caught up in religious bullshit too.

  • @SexSteakSoda well i guess you will see when your in hell my friend

  • WTF Ted Turner is smoking crack

  • no, God doesnt need industrial disasters to communicate to his children. we already have the Bible.

  • when we don't get energy from conventional sources, humans do not suffer.

    do you prefer human suffering over the environment suffering?

    the US dependency on foreign energy helps keep the central banking ponzi scheme and debt bondage alive.

    there are solutions to the oil leak. they had one in the disaster there in 1979, which they haven't used, and I've seen a chemical/biological solution with my own eyes. there's a reason they're not going to fix the leak. 

  • And maybe God does not like obama not to go to lincoln cemetary today, when he made it rain. Maybe God does not like the media calling a simpleton little man the messiah, either! Maybe God does not like the people throughout the world who have died due to socialism and communism either. Maybe God does not like regressives using his name in vain, etc,etc,etc,etc.......Idiots!

  • I don't know if God is telling us to stop drilling and mining but this situation is telling us how greed side-stepping safety regs. will result in disaster eventually.

  • u like it u ass.. because it keeps ur sorry ass show going... ooo maybe god isnt a republican.... maybe hes neither....he is the way... these earthly arguments between whos right and whos wrong is meaningless....you know it.

  • Right, and this comes from the same guy who thinks live-action is good for Cartoon Network! ROFL!!!

  • god my ass...are u fuckin kidding me?......people get ur fuckin heads out of ur asses

  • if there is a god he never spoke or intervened

  • This has nothing to do with an imaginary being.

  • lol :D

  • In the bible (KJV) Revelations, read the entire book from beginning to end!

  • this show is geared to hate everyone rich and white thats why this turk always goes against everything the rich white man says. this announcer feels inferior as he should be. go back to turkey LOL.

  • The oil spill happened while god and BP were watching me dance. click here 2:49.

  • yup all these oil spill earthqueak ppl dying tsunamis god is comeing hope we all can go to heaven wit him

  • fukken comercials!

  • the only message we should be getting from the oil spill is from ourselves to ourselves. and the message reads "NOTE TO SELF: GET OVER FOSSIL FUEL ADDICTION IDIOT. OIL ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES CARS GO VAROOOM". and we should fit the u.s. president and congress with electrodes that give them a once-a-month shock until we swear off fossil fuel.

  • @MorningofMourning Or maybe the only message we should be getting from the oil spill is that humanity is essentially destroying the earth, and should change this bad habit before we completely destroy everything worth living for.

  • @IschysDynamis uh, well... that message is a bit too broad and ambiguous. you can't just say "stuff sucks", and we should "make it not suck". you have to reduce it down to digestible units. breaking fossil fuel addiction is a clear and understandable goal that would go a long way towards making the earth a better place to live. not just in terms of the environment, but also it would greatly reduce our involvement in middle east politics.

  • @MorningofMourning Okay, I'll say more specifically that humanity needs to change the bad habits of committing adultery, stealing, bearing false witness against each other, lying, deceiving, being greedy, and coveting. Those are specific bad habits that led to the oil addiction I'm sure. Or, we can just sit back and thank Rockefeller for making our world so much "more efficient".

  • @IschysDynamis well, i'm not holding my breath for people to stop being greedy. in my opinion karl marx's manifesto was fatally flawed in that it failed to acknowledge greed and the individuals desire to excel. as for the other behaviors you mentioned... deceptiveness, adultery etc... these are unfortunately traits deeply woven in the human psyche, and would require a spiritual awaking of epic proportions to mitigate. i suggest we stick with something attainable... like giving up oil.

  • @MorningofMourning XD I'm not going to hold my breath on that notion either! lol How about Sarah Palin's "Drill baby drill!" Maybe she was on to something?

  • @IschysDynamis i would sooner believe leprechauns exist, than i would expect a milligram of integrity or honesty from a politician... any politician... from any country. after politicians come corporate executives and fanatical religious leaders. women ask their husbands if they look fat in a dress, and theoretically expect an honest answer... uh huh... right. you want honesty? ask a 5 year old kid... you'll get an honest answer... it just may not be the answer you want to hear.

  • @MorningofMourning lol im game for that

  • to me you are STUPID..

  • Wake up idiot's, There is NO god!!!!!!!!! your living in a fantasy world, end of story!

  • @rwbigbear And you're probably some idiot Atheist who can back up his background.

  • @IMJOSH14 .......hey immyjosh....i'm no atheist.....i just know there is no proof of a so called god, wake up from your fantasy world and smartn up some. end of story!

  • @rwbigbear Actually, there is, but I'm not gonna argue over the internet. Convo ended.

  • Where is Anna?

  • So every time someone dies in a car accident it is God telling us we should not drive cars? My car is dripping oil...maybe God is tell me something. Oh yeah, maybe I should buy a new car (so I can support the drilling of more oil). Logic 101 God gave us free will so we could screw things up.

  • Ted Turner has an oil spill in his hair.

  • Christ TYT needs a sound guy in there to properly EQ and Compress the speech during broadcast.

  • Dude the only thing god is trying to say is the same thing he has been saying repent turn away from your sins and turn to him nothing to do with offshore drilling

  • It's a message from God alright, DONT MESS WITH ISRAEL---evertime they have asked Israel to divide, there has been another disaster in the US---documented

  • yeah its a message from god , if the nwo is your god!!!!!!

  • God is non judger only love and all that is.

  • If I would be God, I would be sooo offended!

  • burn in hell muslims. terrorism is shit and jihad

  • @Theoverratedhumanity Well, we were terrorists to them during the crusades. They are getting back. Not to say its good, but dont speak as if we are perfect

  • @candyluber1

    The AIM of Christianity is NOT to conquer or FORCE to believe!!!! (islams is)

    And what comes to the Crusaders?

    The Crusaders came AFTER the islamic religious teachings as a response to these teachings!!!!!

    This is the law of action and reaction! The islamic religious teachings have incited to the rejection of the other,

    to the denial of the other, and to the killing of the other!!! Have you not incited to the killing of Jews and Christians?

  • @Theoverratedhumanity Umm the Christians Started the Crusades, their goal WAS to conquer Muslim lands, so your comment is obviously spoken without education, hmm no wonder your christian.

  • @hbk14life ther goal wasnt really to conquer the holy lands as much as to to keep them from muslim rule.

  • @specialedd13 The Muslims had captured Jerusalem, and since it was a very holy place for the Christians, they wanted it back, but it was also a holy place for the Muslims as well, so they wanted it as well. In your first comment you said "The AIM of Christianity is NOT to conquer or FORCE to believe!!!! (islams is)" There is no compulsion to come into Islam, forcing someone to become Muslim is Against Islam, so i don't see how you can say that.

  • @hbk14life The second part was supposed to be directed to Theoverratedhumanity.

  • Good old Teddy supports the depopulation agenda. Use God to justify killing off most of us. You get an atta boy Ted. One aw shit puts you back to zero.

  • More christian nut jobs continuing making themselves a laughing stock.

  • why is it that only stuped people get to go on tv now a days

  • Comment removed

  • @WyattNyte15 i wouldnt assume that, god allows good and bad for a reason
