The Price of Oil/Gas and why

[JuliusPleaser]

I don't care how much they overpay their executives, and I don't care how many times they break quarterly profit records (for any industry in the history of mankind).

Capitalism is the American Way.

I would appreciate it if people would stop trying to blow smoke up my ass about it, though.

I for one am not picky about what goes up your ass, I feel you have every right to stick whatever you want up there, JP.

But, when it comes to having the slightest bit of understanding of this issue, you are quite lacking, pal. All you have is your leftist rhetoric, which is way off base from what is really happening. And as the leftist has no real understanding of such issues (and it seems they don't really want to understand), they sure do not belong on the business end of them.

But I say they have every right to cry the blues about things that they simply have no real understanding of...AND they have every right to have whatever they want stuck, stuffed, pushed or blown into their stinkin ass'.

I agree with you, JP. It sucks that they just won't stop trying to blow smoke up your ass and learn how to actually get er done, like your leftist leaders have learned to do.
They have succeeded in filling yours it seems. Actually it may be too good of a job, because it seems it's coming out of your ears!
Man those leftists sure don't mess around when it comes to blowing smoke up less than informed folks ass'.
Skill like that just doesn't happen overnight.

JP if compensation & profits are not the problem then why are you so focused on them? :laugh:

 

[JuliusPleaser]

I'm focussed on the lies and half-truths surrounding the profits, Patman.

I sense a little bitterness in your post, Jay. Problems with the Home Party? Are you angry because your team is fielding a candidate that makes John Kerry look like a man of conviction?

(You might want to watch the "ass" comments. Don't want to earn yourself a "Larry Craig" or Mark Foley" label.) ;)

:rotfl:

 

[Jaybird]

Actually, if truth be told, their profits are really none of your damn business, Larry.
This is not a state run communistic society we live in. It is a capitalistic one. You do understand that concept yes?

It is hell to give liberals information like gross profits and all, as they simply do not understand the concept of the whole thing. Nor do they want to understand, because the knowledge would conflict with their leaders rants and raves.

The leftist motto: Never let a lie get in the way of sound leftist rhetoric.

BTW...apparently we are now admitting that John Kerry is actually a man of little conviction. Bout time you saw the light. But you wouldn't joke like that if her were the candidate...you would continue with your leftist rhetoric and back him up, as if.
See, phony from stem to stern. That is the leftist way of things.

 

[Patman]

How would those lies and half truths be any different than those of ANY other person, company or party? There would seem to be much bigger fish to fry than oil company profits... well at least if reaching a solution was the goal.

I'd say that any company that drills on public land is my business, Jay.

Are you sure you want to talk about lies? How about "mushroom clouds", "yellow cake", and "imminent threats"? You want to discusss those after we're finished with the oil company lies?

And I'm phony?

Do you remember when McCain called Jerry Falwell an "agent of intolerance"?

Tim Russert has caught John McCain in bold-faced lies on national television multiple times. The "Straight Talk Express" derailed and went up in a (mushroom) cloud of smoke.

I thought things were going quite well until Jaybird unleashed his usual angry uberconservative tirade. Can't beat someone down with facts? Resort to name-calling, derision, and hate.

That's a pretty old act, but I guess some people will never change - no matter how wrong they are.

 

[Patman]

So Pred is there a smoke generator connected to the end of that pipe?

 

[truespode]

That's a pretty old act, but I guess some people will never change - no matter how wrong they are.

In all honesty, I see no difference between either of you other than your party lines.

 

[JuliusPleaser]

You haven't see me dragging anyone through the dirt for having an opinion - especially an opinion that is based on fact.

Take a look back through the posts and see if you can tell exactly where things got ugly. ;)

Everything I read regarding politics from the two of you just seems like the same thing to me. From my perspective all I have to do is switch the R or D and then it comes from the other person.

The arguing you guys get into becomes noise and then just fingerpointing.

I think the both of you hurt whatever positions you are trying to defend more than you help.

I respect both of you and know that you both have a lot of passion for your viewpoint based on what each of you have read and learned over the years.

But I stand behind the grumpy old men analogy :)

I have the same problem here at work. First the Research group wants to try it this way, and then the Development group wants to try it this way.......... it never ends I tell you.

If any of you lived close to me, you'd find dead fish in your car on a regular basis.

Just not in my International Harvester Carryall, okay?

So now it's spinning on to religion? Net will be crude oil to wine right?

 

[Jaybird]

putz!

 

[whenfoxforks-ruled]

I feel REALLY bad for the state senator from Alaska getting indited for putting his little hand out from the "oil companies"? That has never happened before? Aah crap! That was our money once also! I for one am glad to live in a country that does once in a while bring these bozos to court. He will be getting the fish if he opens his mouth!

HA! Jaybird got it.
