If BS could plug up the leak, Obama could have stopped it a long time ago.

Shouldn't the Oil Company have ways of looking after these things!

I would think that is where the buck should stop is with them?

It was their rig, their accident, and their responsibility. I think the US should declare war on England, and take all their tea this time! Crumpets too.

Let's declare war on Australia instead. They have Tim Tams. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Tam Maybe we'll stop on the way and pick up some tea from England, though.

"That's funny, good one Raven." means that her post was funny, what she said, how she wrote it.

"I thought you were going to say "Crude Oil"!" means that she could have been talking about "crude oil" instead of "people's stupidity" and it would make perfect sense to me.

Relax. He's just proving young Raven's point .

Of course there is. Everything has a funny side, it's just sometimes hard to find.

Tell the fisherman, and other people who's jobs it will affect that it is funny.

Be sure to stand a good distance away when you do.

So if some people think something isn't funny, does that mean everyone else has to go along with them?

Many people don't think it is funny & if you do I think you have a very weird sense of humour, along with disreguard for the folks it does affect.

Did I say I found it funny? I think I said that everything has a funny side, but sometimes it's hard to find. When you can find the funny side of it, perhaps you'll have grown as a person. And in doing so, I trust it will not indicate disreguard (sic) for those affected. I sympathise with those people, hurt for the damage to the environment, flora and fauna, and find humour in several aspects of the ongoing catastrophe.

There is absolutely NOTHING FUNNY about the CRUDE OIL SPILL!

Perhaps you will have grown as a person when you can see that!

Now I find it funny that you don't find it funny. You see? There's always humour. Here ends the lesson.
