What spin?

People concerned with companies destroying the environment gain a better environment by holding companies responsible for cleaning up a mess rather than going down to clean it up now.

key word: responsibility.
 
Well, as long as they are TAXPAYING citizens, I guess it is the environmental groups responsibility to clean up after BP.

Hey, how big of a check have you sent to BP since cost isn't a concern to you.
 
Holy fuck man!

Really



I'm talking about them just going to help some people, maybe help promote efforts to save the environment, something. Usually they are all over that shit.
 
And they think it's more helpful long term to keep the spotlight on BP and to force BP to pay (as they're currently doing).

What do they need to raise funds for?
BP is already paying those affected funds.
BP is already paying for clean-up.

They think the best way to save the environment is to show companies that they'll be held responsible for such messes.
 
Basically you guys are saying that environmental groups and citizens shouldn't do a dam thing to try and prevent damage to the environment or to clean up anything that has happened because a private company caused the problem. Since it was a private company we are going to say fuck helping do anything, it's your responsibility to fix it all by yourself. Fix the environment we care so much about that aren't willing to lift a finger to do anything because you should learn a lesson by having to do it all by yourself.

Do you guys have any values at all? Anything you will stand up for? Something you will put aside partisan bickering to get done?
 
Businesses care about money.
Sometimes Businesses loan money.
If they care about money why do they let others have their money?

You mean the shot term position puts them at a disadvantage and takes away something they really love for long term payoffs?

Environmentalists care about the environment.
Sometimes they help clean up the environment.
Sometimes they draw attention to pollution rather than instantly alleviating an irresponsible business of the burden as a deterrent for companies in the future who don't feel like losing billions of dollars.
If they care about something how can they watch it be destroyed?
 
Speaking of values, where do you get off bitching about other people not doing anything when you aren't wading through the oil cleaning it up yourself?
 
Not as often as you two are bitching about others not doing what you aren't doing.
 
That'll teach those small time gas station franchisers but it wouldn't effect BP in any way.
 
exactly. don't try to solve the problem...don't answer the calls of the citizens just punish those responsible. that's the way to keep the environment clean.
 
I don't make my living claiming to protect the environment. this is the I'm rubber post.
 
Once again DIACF conservatards complaining about a lack of theatrics in their politics
 
It's called concern trolling. I tried it here to illustrate the disparity between DIACF libtard courtesy and DIACF conservatard courtesy
 
my complaint is about theatrics. the theatre of government looking to prosecute vs. acting to protect.
