Are you serious ? Here you are, moaning about the oil spill, using a computer which no doubt has some plastics in it, which come from oil based products. I would also assume you use transport and live in a house, all of which has oil based products. So as bad as the oil spill is, it is our use of products derived from a need for oil which is partly to blame.
For you to suggest that anyone's use of petroleum products should diminish their outrage at bp's cavalier attitude is beneath you.
Do you realise the local disaster of the twin towers ( your words ) killed thousands, and as a result sparked two invasions,
To suggest that the twin towers sparked two invasions is pure sophistry. Greed and arrogance were the cause of the invasions.
I havent defended BP here, merely pointed out that as bad as the spill is, it isnt as bad as 9/11. Which Angel had posted on another thread.
I did not suggest that you were defending bp.
I pointed out that just because someone uses petroleum products does not disqualify them from complaining about bp's cavalier attitude.
Sophistry, thats good coming from you Thompson.
Have you some particular posting of mine that you find sophist?
I have said in the past that I thought the Iraq invasion was more to do with controlling oil supplies than anything else. Afghanistan wasnt though. That was a direct result of 9/11. It was also 9/11 that gave Bush and Blair the excuse for the Iraq invasion.
Do you really believe the taliban govt of afghanistan would have ever approved union oil's pipeline across their country?
