@mtanousable Halliburton, the maker of the rig, was found out later to have issues during the manufacturing process. This was more than likely the causal factors to the incident.
-
@Laughingblades For one, it wasn't even a BP owned rig - they bought the oil from Transocean. Two, from the WSJ, "there were few indications of any trouble with the Deepwater Horizon before the explosion. The rig won an award from the MMS [i.e. THE GOVERNMENT] for its 2008 safety record, and on the day of the disaster, BP and Transocean managers were on board to celebrate seven years without a lost-time accident."

@mtanousable You're wrong.
Safety regulations were not followed. Everything you said is a lie, essentially.
At this point I'm certain you're trolling in which case, trololo.
-
@Laughingblades Safety regulations WERE FOLLOWED. No company "paid fines like some kind of tax" - in fact, BP had additional safety precautions that also failed. It was the federal government that, after Louisiana allowed them closer to shore, forced BP out to very deep water, where no spill had ever been stopped before (and events proved the deeper water would make it very difficult to stop up the spill). To blame a private company for doing precisely what government required is idiotic.

@Laughingblades Since the only actual human right is not to be assaulted, coerced through threats or defrauded that would be fine. "Worker's rights" just weaken and destroy business - hurting workers and consumers.
A man using the threat of withholding income to pressure sex is committing a crime - a violation of contract. A man holding a promotion over a woman's head is also violating most modern contracts. Allowing a he-said, she-said situation under a vague "harassment" law helps NO ONE.
-
@mtanousable No the blame for the oil spill lays at the feed of both governments and the corporations involved who instead of following safety regulations simply ignored them and payed fines like some kind of tax. To blame it all on the government is just moronically idiotic to an extent that I can only assume you're trolling, or brain damaged, or on some sort of drugs.
You want unregulated oil wells and nuclear power plants next to you, see what Lundin oil has been doing.
-
@mtanousable Yes I'm sure if only we let business owners do whatever they want and abolish all worker rights and remove all regulations on say, nuclear power plants, the economy will fix itself and everything will work out for the better. Why should human rights be protected anyway, let's just discard all human rights except the right not to be violently assaulted, coerced with the threat of physical violence, or fraud.
If a man wants to use a woman's income to pressure sex, nice.
-
@Laughingblades Actually, I understood this before I was a Paul supporter. Every argument I have made here comes from economists - of all races and both genders - only some of which support Paul. Economics shows that these anti-discrimination laws actually often hurt the people they claim to help. Harassment laws, of any kind, are ridiculously vague - providing a "guilty until proven innocent" scapegoat for people that dislike coworkers.
-
@Laughingblades The blame for the oil spill can be laid promptly at the feet of the federal government, if one only looks. BP complied with all federal regulation - including one that required them to drill so far out to sea as to make preventing a spill practically impossible. (Plus, the BP that sells gasoline is completely different than the BP that drills for oil - it is the refiners, not the final consumer, that is the customer of the oil drilling companies.)
I'm starting to think about calling anyone that wants to sacrifice freedom for security a traitor!

The momentum for Dr. Paul is astonishing. I voted for him in 1988 and in 2008 (write- in).
