  • More like an act of terror caused by corporate greed.

  • @DonDiesel84 Nice of you to revisit this video to make comments to me about something I wrote a YEAR ago. Do you really have that much time on your hands? Shouldn't you be a little more curious about why this rig exploded in the first place? Why was it a rig 51 miles offshore and not one say, 100 or more miles out? Why now? We've been drilling there for years and 30 days after Obama says we should drill some more this happens? Could it be an act of eco terror?

  • @barry34785 Us NIMBY people have to try to convince tourists to come to our beaches to make a living, I dont see that happening with oil slicked beaches. You bring your ass down here and help clean up the mess you support, wash some seabirds and pick up dead sea turtle and dolphin carcasses. Ill pay $6 a gallon or ride my bike to work.

  • @barry34785 An oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana has spread to cover more than 1,800 square miles as of Monday afternoon. The oil spill is coming from a leak in the well that was drilled by the Transocean Deepwater Horizon, a giant offshore drilling rig that exploded and sank last week. The oil spill is reported to be leaking about t 42,000 gallons a day from a well nearly a mile deep. The spilled oil is reaching as far in as 20 miles from the coast of Louisiana.

  • Sounds like you've been caught up in the hopenchange frenzy.

    I was an EA6B Prowler ECMO in the USMC. My bro-in-law is a retired E2 pilot, so thank you for your good work.

    I'm actually old enough to be retired from the Marines, but I got out to start my own business. I'm not some wet-behind-the-ears kid.

    I am surprised that an elder such as yourself could be so gullible. "Green" is the new state-sponsored religion. Anthroprogenic global warming/climate change has been thoroughly debunked.

  • I don't do business with Wal-Mart first of all. Second, I have supported the Military since before you were born performing Depot Level Maintenance on A6, EA6B, F-14, E2C and F-5 Aircraft to ensure the Navy have the best. If you are in the Navy, good for you. As you get older and get some more experience under your belt, maybe you will realize that change is hard to accept but necessary. Having a high I.Q. is great but it doesn't mean you're right about everything.

  • I don't think I'm stupid.

    After all, I graduated in the top 15% from the Naval Academy with a real degree, where I earned the cool nickname "Douche bag" after over-gesticulating and knocking a full pitcher of beer in a buddy's lap, who was decked out in his SDB's, which was required of "youngsters" at USNA.

    Also tested a 145 I.Q. So I don't buy the "you're stupid" argument.

    Typical liberal, can't argue a point so you start name-calling.

    Do you ride around Wal-Mart in a Lard-Ass scooter?

  • The reality is that global warming (or is it "climate change" now that it has been cooling for the past decade) is a complete sham, and we have 200 more years of oil and 1000 more years of coal before we need to change energy sources. I check today how much it would cost to buy a solar system to power a single pool pump. It would cost over $8000 and require my entire south facing roof. Wind? Forget about it. I'm the one living in reality.

  • The point is: It is time to change to different energy sources that do not endanger the environment. Right wing conservatives like you use big words but really are close-minded and blind to reality. You prove my point about being illiterate, Douchebag1986. You might want to see your doctor. I think you are suffering from Histrionic Personality Disorder or HDP or you could just be stupid.

  • Typical liberal. You can't argue a point so you go after a typo. What a pussy.
