I'd rather use damn oil.....it's there......****in use that ****! Libs are ruining this country/world, but hell ****in far...if we can just save one tree/animal! They are all for spending money to research fuel alternatives, but won't let us do any good for ourselves by drilling here/lower prices/saved money in the mean time. So we are going father and farther into debt, so now we gotta spread the wealth around, thats bull****. Their goal is to devalue our dollar so we can go to a one world currency.....then you know what might happen, just saying it's possible!
I knew mother****in liberals would have a hand in the end of the world! haha

XLT33, with the use of the 4 lettered language, yer not gonna last long around here. There's 2 things that are gonna happen. You can clean it up or the mods will clean you off this website. But I understand the frustration- just clean it up. This ain't no kiddy forum and we all know how to use dirty language. It's just not appropriate here.

Obama is such a one that we had to invent a new word for him.

They are in International waters, does not matter if you think it is close, it is not the US's waters.
Still have not found anything that says they are 10 miles into International waters from the coast of FL. Found that they are off the coast of Cuba. Think this was tossed in with the "they are doing more than drilling for oil" type comments ( meant to instigate something, don't know what ).

Don't forget to have the same concern for France and Canada. This is something I keep pointing out, yet nobody will have the same hate towards France and Canada for doing the same thing. Why would that be ?

Have yet to see anyone be concerned about China's lack of "environmental laws" about any other international waters they are drilling in. Guess that is the NIMB'y mentality.

If they are not drilling them in US waters, the oil reserves do not "belong" to the US. This seems to be lost on as many, as the lack of comments about France and Canada.
The US has let the reserves lay there, ripe for the picking by France, Canada and China.

You don't know what you're talking about.

First of all, the "U.S." doesn't drill off-shore. It's oil companies and most of them are multi-national.

Secondly, they follow the same rules everyone else does when they are in international waters.

Sometimes I think conservatives are naturally unhappy.

Ever notice how many scapegoats conservatives have? If you listen to their unhappy whining you would get the impression that they are the only rightous ones in the world and everyone else is screwing it up for them. They're always looking to blame someone else for their problems and lack of a fulfilling life. Always angry at the world and complaining instead of working together to make it better.

I'm glad you feel this way. Forget any other nation following any rules and/or regulations of Global warmer. Doesn't affect us because it's no where near our soil. Go ahead Iran and become a nuclear nation....you have every right, even though you would love to see the US destroyed. Iran govt loves the Liberals because they care (I mean wimps).

Glad that I feel that following the rules for drilling in International waters is OK, glad you agree that following all the rules is good.

You seem to have made an assumption that China can do what ever they want in international waters, not the case.

Don't know what you were getting at with the remainder, that is not what I said, those are your words.

Don't know why you put political party names into a topic about France, Canada and China drilling off the shores of Cuba ( not the US ), it has nothing to do with political party lines. I can only see this as you trying to instigate some political conversation.
I'm a conservative myself. I am also for following the rules. You know, like the US does ( not ) do all the time.....
As ignored ( just like Canada & France doing the same thing as China ) above, Francis Gary Powers ring a bell ????

You wonder why the political conversations go in the toilet around here, because posts have a line drawn in the sand, and forget to actually read the content.

I really can't tell what you meant there, but Algeathol is the key to getting out from under the "foreign oil boot", so to say.

Of course we can always just run the world out of oil, then do something, but a lot of people don't want to leave that burden on the next generation (a topic that conservatives always try and play when it comes to debt). It also doesn't mean that everyone will be driving econobox's either. Cars just have to be retrofitted to run on it properly, like increased compression or advanced timing. You make more power, better mileage, and less emissions, and a lower price for it!

It's not a political problem, it's a problem that everyone will run into down the road, when fuel runs for $10 a gallon. It might not be for another 100 years, but natural oil will run out one day, and I don't think that generation should have to slam into a brick wall and make a frantic scramble for a solution.
