Re: Ohhh I feel the need for a new oil thread

TG I'm not saying that the hurricanes are the only reason it goes up, just a legitimate reason.

Oil prices are set on the world market. Nothing Exxon or Chevron can do to drive up or down prices. What dem wit dems seem to forget is the cost involved in sucking it out of the ground, refining it into a usable product, and then transporting it to you. Whenever Shell or Exxon spends a half billion on a dry hole, I don't hear anybody feeling sorry for them. We only get mad at them when they make money. They invested in the infrastructure to drill, refine and distribute petroleum products. People forget the cost of that.

Last time I checked every business is in business to make money. Why are we harping on Exxon for doing just that with a product that they have no control over price? What would happen if Exxon decided to pack up and leave, saying they were tired of people bitching about their profits and they desolved? Someone else would move into their spot and become the next Exxon. What if all the multi-billion dollar oil giants decided to pack up and jump ship? How does walking to work sound?

Better shut up and be happy they are so willing to invest in alternative sources of oil for us.


Uhhh guess what Water let them leave, Im sure any socailist country or even democratic one would be happy to assimilate them, and that is what would happen.... aka all there power and clout woould be gone.


They would not be able to compete or stifle any new oil starting up, creating a new and vibrant growth area for this country and it what we badly need , new growth......Ohh yes start there own country... hmmm no military no health care no banking.....think it thourgh a little it's laughable.... umm the tail has been wagging the dog for to long, far to long.;)

Re: Ohhh I feel the need for a new oil thread

Actually OMR that is what really is starting to burn my A@se, the Repub's blew it big time and i mean big time.

No TG. The dim wit Dems corntrol n' maintain the public school monopoly, n' Libs dominate higher education, n' the MSM. As Pointer states much better then I do, (he obviously has more then one functional brain cell): the dim wit Dems n' ding dong MSM hype envy n' all those frail HUMAN weakness we all have when we don't stop n' let our intellect RULE our weaknesses. THERE is no FREE LUNCH, no matter how much Hillary, EDWARDS, (the worst one of 'em), n' Obama say there is a free lunch n' they can get one fer ya. When ya take from the rich or a BIG sucessfull something to impose Socialism n' send people to Club Hautmo there really is SIGNIFICANT COST, (the lunch you ate really is never free, NOR IS THE FREEDOM our Founding Fathers gave you and I that dim wit DEMS play on yer weaknesses n' take a lil' bit of every single day). Only way to save us is to learn to think critically ALL the TIME especially about BOOOOOOOOOOOOOGY men or Big _____________ that makes ya real mad. PLEASE THINK people: Please!!!

What really is beginning to take hold of my thought's is the lib's have crazy social value's and absurdly CONSERVATIVE business value and just the oppisite for the Conservative's that is consevreative social values and crazy liberal values for business ethic's and virtual damm wh@re house for the luv of god what a world....;)

Cornservative bidness n' Liberal bidness is the same: TG, (Supply n' Demand, et al), Real Simple, (jus' like a video game they say). The difference between Libs n' Cornservatives is LIBS want power n' corntrol n' Cornservatives generally favor personal independence n' free markets n' small government. Respectfully, JR

Sorry OMR that isnt getting it.

Between big oil and absolutely crazy liberal home loan (ya know unfettered business practice's) our econ is very wobbly right now, if you think 1/2 point is going to straightn out 5 year's of mismanaged home loan's your wrong...... unless they have a whole bunch of finger's to keep the dike up..:D

Truly what need's to be done is flooding of the market, open up all the reserved land and let them start punchn hole's...


PS isnt it big government bailing out big business right now...;)

Where is your sensability's about government intervention OMR..

Club Hautmo?......:D :D :D

Yup, I though you'd like it!! :D

Yer slow Bro has ta think n' use the ol' brain cell when ya troll cornstantly with provocative posts.

You tend ta play yer slow Bro like a fiddle, makin' me defend the private sector, (the most unpopular areas of the sector o' course); Ya ever cornsidered Politics you are really very good definin' yer slow Bro' as pro BIG OIL, PHARMA, INSURANCE, where I really don't feel that way, (I'm jus' anti BIG GUBMINT).

I jus' thought a good name fer the ol' Gulag fer Big Oil execs n' worker bees, n' Big Parma, Insurance, yada yada should have an approprate facility ta force 'em ta perform the chores that profits n' Capitalism useta encourage before nationalizin' all the BIGS n' maken BIG GUBMINT: REAL BIG GUBMINT!!!!!!!

Great Sport: Bro! JR
:D ;)

Never said that TG, don't know who did, but: not me.

"Band aids" don't usually fix cormpound fractures!!

The explosion in all types of credit has gone on fer 40 plus years: TG. BTW: I don't blame the Gubmint about that. People do what people do sometimes. It is nice to blame, but it serves no usefull purpose other then make someone else responsible, (in yer own mind), fer your own problems. Blame Big OIL et al is the same thing, BTW.


It's one of the things that causes me pause about the Baby Boomers, (that you and I are members of). The savings rates have been very low n' gettin' lower fer years.

Ya may remeber a SPOT ON proposal George W Bush had to create PRIVATE ownership of a portion of Social Security, (which would have denied the Baffoons' "lock box", [what a STUPID thing the Baffoon lied about there]), n' forced dim wits to save money that belonged to THEM not ol' Algore n' the clowns in BIG GUNMINT. Did the LIBS, (ya know the ones who want all yer money and all the Corntrol) allow us dim wits to own a lil' piece of our financial security? NO!!! Was that a BIG DEAL? WHY YES IT WAS. That bings up the ol' nagin' question: IS LIBERALISM A MENTAL DISORDER?

Truly what need's to be done is flooding of the market, open up all the reserved land and let them start punchn hole's...

If yer talkin' 'bout Libs allowin' small oil to drill in ANWAR et al yer right of course. Respectfully, JR ps: Mrs. Jones, I bet yer ponderin' the ol' question again, aren't ya: IS LIBERALISM A MENTAL DISORDER? Hmmmmmmm?

Re: Ohhh I feel the need for a new oil thread

I wasn't aware that our economy is crippled. I thought it was quite robust. Am I wrong?



I don't know, check US mortgage foreclosure rates. So many of you preach that a family cannot be raised on minimum wages and should not be, yet those are the jobs you boast of when you site low unemployment rates. lol.

Sorry for side tracking, I just thought this needed a reply. Carry on.

Hey CJY! Hope yer havin a good summer!!

Hmmmmmm, so is it worse then the Great Depression yet? Do ya wanna elect more Democrat Socialists to make an existing problem a real BIG PROBLEM? Let me guess: President George W Bush caused those defaults eh?


So many of you preach that a family cannot be raised on minimum wages and should not be, yet those are the jobs you boast of when you site low unemployment rates. lol.


Hmmmmmmm, Ya wanna make minimum wage $100 per hour? Is John F Kerry, (ya know: the guy who sucks up lots of our lifes' energy by raisin' taxes any time he can the one who should tell me what I should pay with me own money fer labor?) Hillary then? Lil Nancy? What qualifies them to set the mark fer private business? If $100/ hour is too low how 'bout $500 per hour?

Sorry for side tracking, I just thought this needed a reply. Carry on.

Ya may wanna review some of the other threads about the dim wit Dems allways hopin' n' workin' fer bad news fer America so they can blame those mean Republicans fer makin' people eat Chinese dog food n' all. Does this financial liquidity issue qualify fer bad enough news, or do ya wanna force defeat n' Iraq fer some real bad news? Great sport fer Libs eh? Wooooo is me think I'm gonna go cry now! Good seein' ya CJY! JR

First:
BIG Tobacco

Then:
BIG Oil
Big Pharms

You heard it first here; now there is
BIG Money....what a hoot!:D

Big money just took it in the shorts last week. Sub-primes are not little money. Private equity funds is not little money.

Big Money just ate its gun. If you are going to play the name blame game, get a program and know what's going on.

If you have or had equity in the market and sincerely believe that, you are bleeding money right now.The mismanaged home loans account for a small fraction of the US economy and the global economy; the effect is more perception than reality. The mismanaged mortgage mess is localized in CA, AZ, FL and those people, builders and speculators, will have to bite the bullet; but to think that situation will bring down the US and world economy is nuts. With all that has transpired to now, the market is still up. Get a grip, man, don't let the opinion makers push you over the precipice.

Haut did you write this yourself or is this just paraphrasing ol' uncle Joe? FWIW, my 401K didn't lose one cent.

I love the whole playing the rich off of the poor technique. Nice form... :) Hey if you have a moment google fortress, subprime, and John Edwards, (the poor mans gazillionaire). Great stuff if you are into facts. While you are doing that, I got about $400 dollars burning a hole in my pocket, I think I will get a haircut....
