The government is weak and/or corrupt and the oil companies just run as companies do -- maximize profit
It seems to me the way to maximize profit is to minimize losses due to spills. It would be in their best interests to prevent spills. One of the comments in the article pointed out a very interesting point. The English is horrible, which leads me to assume they are not a native speaker.
Is it actual worth pointing out the reality that in Nigerian illegal tapping into oil pipe lines , is a major issue that leads to leaks and sometime major explosion as the very photo used in this article shows. In addition pumping stations are attack which also leads to leaks. In short he claims to care about the leaks but fails to address how they are actual caused , while his total ignorance of the massive corruption in Nigerian , that scales into tens of billions and lies behind most of the problem seen.
Merely means that this article is just about attacking the oil companies and doing nothing about the problem, for let?s be clear they only make money for oil they sell , they make nothing for that which is lost.
Therefore, if they are really the evil corporations some would like to believe than will do what makes money.
Its almost as if he is saying that the evil oil companies wanted to loose millions of barrels of their product into the open sea. If they really are evil, greedy capitalists wouldn't it make more sense to, you know, sell it instead? I doubt that this was an instance of cutting corners. Id wager it has a higher chance of being corporate sabotage from a third party that went much father than they expected. BTW pun intended.
Bingo! I don't particularly care if someone is on the phone in public anymore than if they were talking to a friend that is present. The problem is that most people talk louder either unconsciously or because of a bad connection. As you say, they are just as annoying as idiots who have no volume control in person. I personally hate talking on the phone and avoid chatting in public as much as possible anyway.
Not necessarily. Did they factor in variables such as if you personally know one of the people in the conversation or what the subject was? Your wife arranging hotel rooms for the night on your family vacation is not the same as a prick at a restaurant shouting about the chick he met at the bar last night. You only hear one side of the conversation in both scenarios but are otherwise radically different.
If we had common sense we would execute the real sickos and make this whole debate about offender registries and civil confinement a moot point. You touch a child and you die. I could get behind that.
I would love to see rape and child porn become capital crimes.
The guys that wrote them were themselves very religious and as I pointed out, wanted to restrict *federal* government from establishing a religion. They never intended for any religion to be supported or oppressed by the federal government. It was to be left to the individual states, counties, and cities. Separation of Church and State implies that on all levels there is to be no mention of religion in government, and no mention of government in religion. That is not what the bill of rights says.
What about prohibiting the exercise thereof? The original intent behind the "no law respecting an establishment of religion" was to prevent the federal government from founding its own church (individual states already had theirs). Religion and government were not intended to be split as decisively as they are now. There were to be merely let loose to survive on their own as the people willed. Its interesting that you state "entirely inappropriate for state organizations to forbid" when that is all they really do anymore. Here we have a group that has been doing voluntary prayers for a while. Now they are being forbidden because they might offend the minority. What about the minority offending them? The law has been interpreted to mean that there can be no semblance of a prayer on government property, even outlawing voluntary prayer meetings at the flagpole on schools. If the majority of the people in a group want to pray a particular way at any given time at any given place, its up to the minority to either leave or stay silent. That's democracy and that is what the Constitution intended.
Separation of church and state does not exist in the Constitution. It is a catchphrase created to push an agenda rather than to describe what is actually written.
Actually the principle was intended to prevent the nation as a whole from favoring one state over another. Individual states had their own state religion.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
Note that has no mention of state legislatures, and that the current modus operandi tends to squelch any religious display at all in the name of an unconsitutional "separation".
What was the population of Germany? Its very easy to win a war by losing each battle. You just have to start off with a lot more people. Kinda of like Germany vs the rest of the world
Even CNN, one of the liberal bents, reports that he was affiliated with the Taliban.
Faisal Shahzad likely has links to the Taliban, President Obama's top terrorism adviser said.

I've been using that for a while too, but the problem comes in distributing that exe file to the remote user. I tried to help my aunt in another state and it took me over 30 minutes to set up, 4 minutes to fix the problem. Gmail and most other free email providers block the exe extension so you have to append junk to the end of it (exe.temp). Then they have to remove that junk (hopefully their system is already set to show all extensions). Ugg
Pretexting
Pretexting is the act of creating and using an invented scenario (the pretext) to engage a targeted victim in a manner that increases the chance the victim will divulge information or perform actions that would be unlikely in ordinary circumstances. It is more than a simple lie, as it most often involves some prior research or setup and the use of a priori information for impersonation (e.g., date of birth, Social Security Number, last bill amount) to establish legitimacy in the mind of the target.[3]
This technique can be used to trick a business into disclosing customer information as well as by private investigators to obtain telephone records, utility records, banking records and other information directly from junior company service representatives. The information can then be used to establish even greater legitimacy under tougher questioning with a manager, e.g., to make account changes, get specific balances, etc. Pretexting has even been an observed law enforcement technique, under the auspices of which, a law officer may leverage the threat an alleged infraction to detain a suspect for questioning and close inspection of vehicle or premises.
Pretexting can also be used to impersonate co-workers, police, bank, tax authorities, or insurance investigators — or any other individual who could have perceived authority or right-to-know in the mind of the targeted victim. The pretexter must simply prepare answers to questions that might be asked by the victim. In some cases all that is needed is a voice that sounds authoritative, an earnest tone, and an ability to think on one's feet.
I've been using my eee t91mt netbook/tablet convertable for months and I love it. I really see no point in a true tablet when for a marginal price increase you can have the best of both worlds in a convertible. Win 7 works just find in tablet mode, but there will always be times when the keyboard is useful.

I didn't say it wasn't their fault. I simply pointed out that it was in the corporations best interest to avoid the spill in the first place.
I didn't claim that, nor do I believe it. It was simply an example. Reading comprehension is a good thing.

Are you saying that your vlog on youtube is much more interesting if you can see how many people behind you are using macs?

Unfortunately, the non-Constitutional separation of Church and State is now interpreted to mean a Constitutional endorsement of atheism.

Someone pointless to include that caveat when it is already known that they don't, which renders the entire point you are trying to make invalid.

According to the Tmobile site, their $30 plan (which is actually a $25 plan) has a cap of 200mb. For unlimited it hikes up to $50.
