But hey, the differences between cultures I guess.

BP EXEC should commit Hari Kari

Hey All,

Well then he would have more of a reason for saying he wants his life back. :d

Well, it would certainly not help find a way to cap that well, would it ? Stupid statement.

 

[AckAck]

I didn't realize that Hari Kari was a well established Vietnamese tradition...

You know, in certain older civilized cultures, when men failed completely as they have, they would throw themselves on their swords.

Fortunately the emphasis is now placed on trying to learn from your mistakes so you do not repeat them in the past rather than throwing away the lesson by disembowelling yourself and having your kaishuakunin decapitate you.

I'm not a happy camper either, but there is no reason to commit suicide as that solves nothing.

Hari Kari...isn't that some kind of redneck soup for the culturally insensitive?
Never heard of it.

Solves nothing? It will make us all feel better and I can thing of way way to make money off of it...

Live on PPV and at the Superdome. The CEOs of BP! CEOs of BP get to live the mess they made by swinming in the oil from the gulf, tar and feathered, and much more! The must not miss event is when Tony Hayward commits hara-kiri! That right hara-kiri!

Tickets on sell now!, and buy it on PPV for $100.99 or $110.99 HD! With HD TV you can say you were there. All proceeds of the event go to the gulf relief fund.

All I can say is, the ethanol folks are missing a golden opportunity.

I was thinking this morning they need to start running a TV ad with corn washing up on the beach.

 

[Allen]

Ive seen at lest one ad from the "ethanol folks" I not so hot ethanol, that stuff goes bad just as fast as milk. It FUBARs any thing with a small motor.

What...with a chorus of starving third-world children in the background singing: "We are the World" ??
Ethanol may just be the worst possible alternative to mineral oil, available on the planet.

The cavalry in on its way.....

Guys don't worry I just saw Dutch news and saw two Dutch companies, among which the very experienced company Boskalis, are on their way to help you out. First they will put up dikes to safeguard the hard-to-clean swamps of the state Louisiana from pollution and after that they will use special oils sweepers to remove the oil from the ocean.

You guys should know the cavalry always arrives just in time however never too early :d

Cheers,
Huub
