holy shit, could BP get any more stupid?

[kronik85]

how are you so sure he doesn't know that? do you know what "context" means?

 

[everycredit]

Oil is perfectly natural. Like mercury.

Now let's look at the full (confusingly written) context.

 

[Ameter]

You're an idiot. What he means is pockets of oil sticking around underwater, instead of floating to the surface

 

[kronik85]

Holy fucking shit BP, how could you not know there's oil? We're in the middle of a goddamn oil crisis and you don't even know there's oil!?

 

[Ameter]

So... the oil is completely dissolved and mixed with a chemical which breaks it up...

What would you like to see done here? Do you think there's a magical device which will sweep the entire ocean and separate out all oil, dissolved or otherwise?

 

[Ameter]

your own quote said it would only possibly be an issue to the smallest of life forms.

AKA: Not a major issue

i bet the fish evolve to live in the oil

 

[Vanilla Tarantino]

Well, to be fair, affecting the smallest forms of life affects the larger forms. And I wouldn't call it "not a major issue" but rather, not the most pressing issue.

 

[kronik85]

well, considering food chains and all... that can be a pretty big problem broseidon.

Was going to post this

 

[Ameter]

only if it affected them significantly

 

[Ameter]

only if it were to wipe out the lower level. It won't do that, it just might kill off some of them. A blip, sure, but nothing serious
