Everyone knows its only spilling 5k barrels a day, troll attempt denied
 
... and all their equipment and designs met or exceeded all required codes. And since BP operates how many wells in the Gulf alone? So multiply how many millions (or like 10s of millions) of dollars per well of stuff YOU THINK they should have, but the government doesn't require, by the total number of wells there, and you're talking serious money ... for the first time there has been a disaster of this type in the Gulf in 40 years.
 
no let them keep downplaying it..because it only highlights their hypocrisy when they start talking about how this is obama's katrina and how bad this is for the present administration.

Its the worst catastrophe for Obama..but its not really THAT bad a bad catastrophe at all when you compare it to others.

Obama said oil rigs are safe HE LIED!!....but really oil rigs ARE safer now than theyve ever been and the fact that this is just the SECOND incident in some 35 years proves it.

OH the response from the administration was too slow and ineffective all those businesses and the environment are irreplaceable and gone!!!... But a spill this size can be cleaned up in about 5 years.
 
Very true, it's a disaster no matter how you look at it.

But, it's important to compare it to previous spills to know what to expect, what damage it will cause, and to have a proper perspective.
 
Why is he stupid? I've already siad multiple times, he agrees that this is a disaster catastrophic on many fronts.

Not sure why facts are stupid...or are you suggesting he should think more with a bleeding heart?
 
don't you even talk.. five years ago you were the bleeding heart who said "the gov't doing all it can"
 
proper perspective? LOL. what sort of political correctness by another name is this?

the reality is, if there is a "proper perspective", it is not had by people who have never stepped foot in a tidal wetland. Those who think they can quantify the destruction in terms of gallons of oil, length of leak, square miles covered and other such "logical" ways of comparing oil spills. it is the hallmark of the uneducated.

I feel for my Louisiana brothers and sisters, for I have stepped foot in a tidal wetland.
 
Not like anyone gives a shit since they already have their preconceived notions and need to make this out to be the end of the world.... but the oil leak from Ixtoc was far bigger and covered the majority of the southern, western and part of the US coastlines including "wetlands"
 
I'm from FL, bra.

Proper response needs proper thinking. Proper thinking is grounded in logic. Logic needs facts. Facts are a collection of knowledge. Knowledge is found in both theory and history. History contains both mistakse and successes. All of this is contained in perspective. Perspective is not driven by emotion. Emotion leads one to fail.
