There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Was reading somewhere that
a) The oil dispersant they spray is ultimately as harmful as the oil, and
b) There is no containing this spill: money would be better spent cleaning up the beaches in due course, and compensating the fishermen.
Of course that would look as if nobody is actually doing anything...

Hi,
Not pertaining to this forum (mod delete as required) but:
The response of BP (and authorities involved) was nil and still nil .. (too late now)
This is plenty boats from professionals of the oil sector availables (unfortunately on site after the spill you can count them on your hand)
Of course they are not sooo cheaps as the fishermen boats leased by BP (the contract signed by fishermen with BP include a charter of non sue BP in the future)
Seem's they had not a contengency plan (Valdez lesson not learned)
So I conclude BP take the cheap way and make not all to fight the pollution.
