Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

I own no stock in any such oil company so ---- em. :6

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

I love my gasoline, I hate my gas station.
Their making money, it's what they do, komrade.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

someone needs to develop an alternative fuel sorce that can cut them out of the loop.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Like OMFG, they make money? Who do they think they are? Since I bought gas last week for $1.83, what's your fucken point?

I know, you want us to hate big oil like the rest of the hippies, but they're in business to make money, and gas prices are low, so what's your point?

You might want to look into the biggest CEO bonus that recently took place. You won't hear about it though, because the Goldman Sachs company is one of the biggest funders of democrats, so while democrats try to persecute the rich oil tycoons, you won't hear ---- from the hippies or the hippie media about it.

I'm not a victim of anybody. I'm buying gas at the sub $2.00 range, whiney bitches.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

glad i could help

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Think about what they pay for gas in other countries, like the UK. ::)

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Soylent gas.

No more terrorists/jumping beaners or fuel problems

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

don't care. Most of their cars get like a million miles per gallon anyways.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

+So basicaly the oil companies are making record profits but they can't afford to do any research into new technologies for their industry with out tax breaks. the US is the oli industries cash cow they'd still do business with us without all the corprate welfare. But then where would all the republicans get campaign funding?

I guess we'll see what gas prices do in the future but I think the $3+ a gallon was just the oil industry feeling out what americans were willing to spend for a gallon of gas. Before we started bitching.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Um, say you're an oil company. The US government won't allow you to drill or build anymore refineries, so the money you would have spent on that isn't being spent. It's profit. As the oil company, your business is oil, not finding alternative fuels to KILL YOUR OWN BUSINESS. lol. If there was any money in alternative fuels, they'd be there, but there isn't. They sell just as much gas to farmers making ethanol as they would if ethanol wasn't in the picture.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Record profits come from dispropotionaly hiking prices up, finding cheeper sources of oil, paying workers less, and cutting middle men out of the picture.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

You shouldn't be mad at the record profits they're making as much as the unreported environmental damage that goes on. Not the best statement to say given 90% of you run open downpipes ;D

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

No Stevemode I didn't mean they would develope something like a hydrogen engine or something where all you need is water. I meant they spend the tax break cash on looking for new oil deposits and and like more efficiant ways of geting it.

that would be like you developing a turbo that doesn't need oil.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

as alex in houstan has said 100x

gas/oil companies make aprox 3 cents of profit per gallon.
the government makes on average 50 cents profit per gallon!

the companies take all the risk, the government takes all the money!

a gallon was cheaper than a gallon of milk for a very long time! and it comes from halfway acrossed the world! evil milk companies!

the government breaks its own record profit every year and rawr loves it!

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Hey gotta keep that foodstamp money coming somehow.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Just think...part of that money will be going to pay my salary from the new federal job I just got ;D

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Oil is more than just gasoline. Gasoline is only about 20% of raw petroleum when distilled. The rest of your fuel comes from catalytic cracking heavier compunds to make lighter hydrocarbons with a higher octane rating. Refinerys make the profits off the gasoline they produce and is taxed per gallon when sold at the pump. Oil companys make their money off pulling the oil out of the ground and selling it per barrel, before the refining even takes place. Your arguement is invalid.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

i'd like to know why, after the war, (ww2) we ( america ) when't into germany, and rebuilt most of there ecnomy, and same with japan,

now who has the 2 HIGEST rated industry's ?!


yea, they've got the money, and they don't wanna spend any of it, it's no biggie. it's me ....you.....and every other american that's gonna keep filling up your SUV's and trucks....not to mention your boat,

and yea, in england, they pay around 5 $ a gallon, but they also don't drive that much ( it's kinda hard to drive that much with something no bigger than california) i spent 2 1/2 months there, and did a ton of walking,

most of there cars are diesle. and yes, most of em get 35-50 MPG,

but what ever, i'll bitch about 2.65 a gallon, and then go fill my 19 gallon tank in my truck, that get's 6-8 mpg, and less when i'm driving :P

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

The north atlantic treaty was created in order to stunt europe from turning into a communist area out of deperation and debt after the war.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

why are you on a car site?

cheap gasoline is not a right.

if you don't want to pay it, dont use it. make your own gasoline. maybe you can do better.

gasoline = NOT A RIGHT

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Obviously, find somewhere that I said it was. It's not a point you need to drive into my head. I'm pretty sure I just said "Opinions?" then spewed some facts off.

Where the fawk do you live it's still over 2.50 here in seattle

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

why do you care how much it is?

do you bitch and moan when ferrari sells the enzo for a million bucks? are they making too much money on it?

what is the point of this thread

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

really we can;t do anything abput it its called supply and demand, and when the hippies say I have to buy it anyway no we don't have to buy so much. you neighboor who drives an excursion to take 3 kids to shcool creates the demand that maks gas expensive. shouls ---- be different;yes, In a perfect world would the gas companies pay money to research alternate fuels that would save the earth and put them out of buisiness yes. but if you sytarted a shop would you pay money to your competitors to do better no you wouldn't so yeah life sucks. untill you take money out of your pocket to make the world a better place, don't bitch about those who don't. oh and nuke china they open a coal fuel power plant a day. PS 2 bucks a gallon for gas is great and 3 dollars isn't so bad either.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Yeah right after ww2 the russians were trying to claim germany and most of europe for themselves. We had to stare them down and help those countries back on their feet or we'd all be speaking russian right now. We knew about russia's intent before germany fell it was basiclly us in a race with the russians to see who could take berlin first. The soveits won the race.

they blockaded the city and basically everyone in berlin was going to starve to death. So we stepped in and started the berlin air lift. we basically had cargo planes flying 24 hours a day none stop for months to keep berlin from starving to death.
It was the only way not to spark of another war with russia.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

Check gas prices against inflation, ride your fucken bike to school, and remember that America is laughing at you, along with your record profit government.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

I hope so. Blow more right wing talk radio rhetoric my way plz.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

You mean like ANWAR where we know the oil is but liberals won't let us get it?

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

And meanwhile it won't hurt the animals that they are so worried about... guy in my speech class did a report on this, they tagged a ton of the animals around the area where they would drill, ONE ventured past the line that they were talking about. ONE animal, and it was sick and didn't know where the f' it was going iirc.

NEW YORK - John Mack’s record for the biggest bonus ever paid to a Wall Street chief executive didn’t last even a week. It was smashed by the $53.4 million that Goldman Sachs gave its chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein.



http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summ...?ID=D000000085

The firm tends to give most of its money to Democrats. Goldman Sachs' former chief executive, Jon Corzine, served in the U.S. Senate as a Democrat from New Jersey. He's now the state's governor.



When will you be making your post about how goldman sachs is making too much profit?

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

I just read a big report on alternative fuels from real scientists.

Ethanol is gargbage. They say even if we farmed every inch of the nation we would get like 18% of what we needed, and the processing would make just as much polution.

THey say it is some kind of alcohol fuel that is going to be the next big thing.

The democratic party is a joke for the most part and I have no problem what so ever with taking any moral shots on them.

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

What about your homegirl cindy sheehan?


Whose grave is this???

What Is This Picture?

http://www.freewebs.com/huqua99/cind...ns%5Fgrave.jpg


Obviously, it's a picture in a cemetery.

What cemetery and whose grave?


Sadly, it's the grave of Casey Sheehan.

After three years, and a Dept of Defense payment of $250,000 to the "Peace Mom", Cindy Sheehan has not had the time or bothered to have a headstone placed on this young hero's grave. And, she doesn't even have to pay for one, the Dept of Defense will provide one:


"The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a government headstone or marker for the grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world. For all deaths occurring before September 11, 2001 , the VA may provide a headstone or marker only for graves that are not marked with a private headstone.

Flat markers in granite, marble, and bronze and upright headstones in granite and marble are available. The style chosen must be consistent with existing monuments at the place of burial. Niche markers are also available to mark columbaria used for inurnment of cremated remains."

Apparently she can find time to protest on at least 3 continents, get arrested various times, go on vacation in Hawaii, have photo ops with the Marxists in Venezuela, but can't seem to find the time to properly mark her son's grave.

Ever wonder what the expression "stuck on stupid" meant?

Well here is an example:


http://www.freewebs.com/huqua99/stuckonstupid.jpg

The grinning idiot clinging to Je$$e Jack$on is Cindy Sheehan...

the sob sister who protested the war at Bush's ranch,

who lost her son in the war,

the same son she gave up in her divorce when he was 7 years old.
And by the way if you wonder why she has so much free time ...

she is going through another divorce right now and guess what?

She is giving up custody of another son.
As Forest Gump once wisely proclaimed, "Stupid is as stupid does

Re: Exxon mobile and other oil companies profits
 

I agree with that. Ive been laid off from work for over a month now. so Ive been watching a lot of today in washington while i'm on the puter and ----. All they do is wait for a republican bill to come up and bitch about and pick things apart while they have no real counter proposal to anything.

Our government is a waste. All they do is sit around watching the other party then thinking up ways to derail each other.
It all comes from aving an incompotent president with no social skills what so ever.

I'm torn lately I know in construction I make tons more money when Democrats are in power. But they really can't do anything with a republican president vetoing them. And I hate the way the Democrates will handle the war. I can't win
