im not upset because people make more money than i do. im upset because you think just because you can afford to buy the gas that its ok for them to sell it at a rediculous price. quit thinking of yourself so much and start thinking of people less fortunate. just because you have it made dont rub it in everyone elses face. and you can bet your bottom dollar the people that sell this oil isnt taking a pay cut its coming out of mine and your pocket weather you can afford it or not. i hope you enjoy your money while it last.

 

Man 2c3,that is so TRUE!!!!He is just like the pig CEOs of the companies that are making RECORD profits & bonuses because they came up with the idea of taking their product & that everybody needs & raise the price!!! Wow,took a genius to come up with that!!! I wish I would be alive for the day we didn't need oil anymore & the arabs were trying to make $$$ selling us sand!!!!!!I work my @$$$ off & I don't want hear about get another job or work harder for the same living I was able to provide 5 years ago!!!What,just so CEOs can get richer???There is a serious imbalance in this country & it's called CEO!!Why is it when they commit crimes they get a slap on the wrist & if the ordinary did anything it's seeYA!!??Why is it this is the only country that the CEOs make an average of 400 times the wage of it's workers??Most places the CEOs bring in around 20-40 times,not here,it's never enough for these people.This kind of greed is repulsive!!!
I also don't care about the price of fuel in "other" countries,no country has shed as much blood,created more tech,or built & developed more oil refineries & drilling for Arab nations as we have.

 

I have to coment at this point Ive been trying to resist but can't. I would encourage you to do some research on Were our oil comes from in the US and what we do with what is locally drilled.
1. 70-80%(monthly basis) of our oil doesn;t even come from the middle east it hasn't in years it comes from Venezuala were the leader is more questionable then Saddam in alot of ways.
2. GWB correct has little to do with gas prices as they stem off the economy but take alittle stab I wonder how they were 0.99cents agallon what 6-7 years ago.

3. Opening up Alaska will not do anything for our gas prices, Oil that is produced within the US is stored for the Surplus incase Venezuela gets ticked at us or things really get bad in the middle east. AKA most of us will never use it.

Also I love your avatar Scramadamadingdong

Wow,sorry bout your luck but I don't get your point,here in SE Mich we've had quite wet summers,not to mention some very snow filled winters also.Nature cycles,but that never gets considered & on top of everything else,I am by no means sayin that we shouldn't be concerned about the ecology,I am however saying that we should be coming up with alternative fuels all the while bein realistic about our supply of oil.But some people are just out to stop the destruction of anty land for any reason & I don't feel that is realistic.There are always sacrafices in life,deal with it,if you don't like it,come up with an alternative.

 

Comic relief time!

I got pulled over the other day for DUI. The officer looked inside the car and saw the gas guage was on full. He let me go because he figured I could afford a really good attorney.

Thanks, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip the waitress.

 

thanks for the releif. Careful drinking and driving you can easily get burned or burn someone else im speaking from experience it was pretty funny though.

 

The real facts:

"The United States averaged total net oil (crude and products) imports of an estimated 11.8 million bbl/d during January-October 2004, representing around 58% of total U.S. oil demand. Crude oil imports from Persian Gulf sources averaged 2.4 million bbl/d during that period. Overall, the top suppliers of crude oil to the United States during January-October 2004 were Canada (1.6 million bbl/d), Mexico (1.6 million bbl/d), Saudi Arabia (1.5 million bbl/d), Venezuela (1.3 million bbl/d), and Nigeria (1.1 million bbl/d). "

Damn Canadians...
