General BS forum I guess this will be for anything that would seem to be off topic in any other forum here. Just general shootin' the breeze kind of topics. |

With all the oil dispersant elements, the oil is probably lying on the bottom of the gulf floor, and has killed off all the sea life there...

Do I trust 'em?......nope. The missing oil may magically re-appear when the first gulf hurricane of the season churns those warm waters...

I fished offshore for a living for 30 years. Some of my stuff i fished 50miles southeast of where the rig went down in 1200ft has oily gunk on the bottom. There are now no fish on the bottom in 1200 to 900ft. I'm sure there is many millions of gallons stuck to the gulf bottom and God knows where it will wash up over time.

Yep, they say it's gone. I don't believe that for a minute. Over time I'm sure mother nature can deal with it. Maybe over the course of a few hundred years.

Our Gov't wouldn't lie to us now would they?! (Can you say "Politician"?) Next they'll want us to believe there's no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny!

So what was the conservative estimate of the amount of oil leaked? 180 MILLION gallons? And how much dispersant?
So they cap the well, scrape a little bit of oil that got to the beaches and now everything is honky dory? Ding dong the oil is gone?
If the dispersant was dropping the oil to the bottom of the Gulf, the well head itself would be completely covered with oil, which according to the "live" feeds from BP, didn't happen. The dispersant DISPERSED the oil into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. That's what dispersants DO.
We are seeing BIG money and power at work, obviously. BP is trying hard to convince everyone that their screw up wasn't as bad as it really was. The federal government is trying hard not to piss off their sugar daddy. And local governments are trying hard to convince everyone to come on back down to spend their money at that "safe" beaches and eat the "safe" fresh Gulf seafood.
I wonder just how much of the population is dumb enough to swallow that BS?

I agree with all of you on this one.
If it's spewing from the face of a politician or BP exec/front man, it's bullchit!
They want you to believe that out of sight is out of mind
