omg moon, could you stop making a fool out of yourself for like 10 seconds? any large company is owned in multiple countries, that just means people in the u.s. bought BP stock. it is still owned and run by British people AKA TONY HAYWARD.

"And I say it again: It's not BP's fault that drilling for oil in offshore deepwater regions is allowed.
It's just very convenient for some people that the company has "British" in its name.
Don't try to pretend as if America was very environmental (Kyoto is another thing we could discuss here)."

Its not the drilling in offshore deep water regions that caused the problem. Its the fact that you retards (AKA TONY HAYWARD) put THE FUCKING MAIN LAST RESORT SUPER DUPER OIL STOPPER VALVE on upside down and decided it would be too expensive and time consuming to fix it, and then on top of that thought it would be fun to not fix a hydraulic leak or replace one of the batteries (you took it out you just didn't put a new one in) in said valve and then decided it was cool to ignore the fact that explosive gasses were escaping from the rig, and ordered men to continue their work, (those would be the 11 men who died in the explosion) which lead to the massive explosion that killed 11 men and ruined the ecosystem in the gulf of mexico for years to come.

You would think that would be bad enough, but nope, your greedy douche bag british friends (AKA TONY HAYWARD) decided that instead of doing whatever was necessary to stop the leak right away, they would try to funnel all the oil out so that they wouldn't loose money. Good thing that worked right?

That's why I used parenthesis for Opel which belongs to GM indeed.

If one day, germans are able to say Europe über alles instead of germany über alles, I may begin to respect u. Not much hope considering you're just able to see the Euro currency as your personnal ownership.

Why dont you just get out of the Eurozone guys ? lol

Just as a note:
BP has 14 board members, of which 10 (71.4%) are European, and 4 (28.6%) are Americans. I think. Some of their biographical information isn't clear.

OIL DOESN'T KILL WETLANDS PEOPLE DO!

Offshore drilling = more risk, more risk = more problems. You can either try to counter the risk or avoid it. Your argument is to keep countering the risk, which is fine, except some might say that retards like Tony are the norm in oil companies, and countering the risk is not possible.

hey charles,

please dont judge all germans by the poor performance of our current government. The political party i support criticized the hesitant reaction of chancellor Merkel. They also support the idea of a european economic government, which is currently pushed forward by Christine Lagarde.

Most posts in this thread are full with unjustified generalizations and flat accusations. Some more love guys?

Shevar,

Well thanks Schedar, I know the SPD is evoluting and comes up to critisize now Schröder's heritage and all u say is being debated in german opinion, that's right and gives little hope.
But the problems precisely began with Schröder (SPD) when in order to get his "Agenda 2010" accepted, he intoxicated people minds about southern Europe.
Real big problems have begun there with deflation policy in Germany introduced by Schröder and followed under Merkel with the the "social" (what an insanity !) VAT .
It will be hard to reverse this foolish process now which is just a real suicide for all and germany in first.

I dont know about Die Grünnen, but maybe you were talking about Die Linke actually.

But you know well Schevar what you really should do to solve your problems. Just make chidrens ! fuck !

Quant à Sarkozy, je l'emmerde. Qu'il crève, cette petite enflure.

yeah i was talking about "Die Grünen" and i do plan to have children. An alternative to getting lots of children is to slaughter all the fat and lazy old people.

I think the title pretty much says it all. You have to use a continent to try to measure up with just one country. That is a pretty sad commentary on your individual nations.

That being said, I cannot argue with #6 or #8. However, you do have the French, which pretty much taints your whole continent. So you lose hard.

No other comment is necessary.
Ca se passe de commentaire.

at the end of the day
Europe sucks
Get over it
