Re: The World Without Oil
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] In particular I was annoyed at a post by a clearly clueless individual about how the US kills innocent people everyday for oil. [/ QUOTE ] Since people with oil have more than they could ever use themselves and are very willing to sell it, and people in the US have tons of money to actually buy it, why is it that we have to choose between killing people for oil and not having oil at all? [/ QUOTE ] Well, that's kind of the point. [/ QUOTE ] I really don't understand your point at all. Could you clearly state it?

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Just like oil. [/ QUOTE ] I don't see why we have to fight wars for oil, either. Please explain it to me. [/ QUOTE ] Because we're evil fascists, apparently. [/ QUOTE ] Why are you trolling your own thread?

Re: The World Without Oil
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] OP, When did anyone ever say that oil was bad and that we should stop using oil altogether? You're responding to statements that have never been made. How can you even have an argument if you have no idea what the opposing viewpoint is? [/ QUOTE ] As a famous talk show host says, this is an exercise in absurdity to demonstrate the absurd. [/ QUOTE ] You succeeded brilliantly, but probably not as you intended.

Re: The World Without Oil
[ QUOTE ]
Why, instead of invading a country and spending hundreds of billions to do it, did we not just take Kuwait's oil? And why is oil still $9089048230984234 a barrel? [/ QUOTE ] Does anyone believe Saddam wouldn't gladly sell it to the USA couple of years ago? But of course that wouldn't make extreme profits for the elite. who cares about collateral damage - millions of victims and trillion of dollars spent?

Re: The World Without Oil
[ QUOTE ]
hey preacher, buying oil from countries is not equivalent to forcefully securing oil with violence ...as anybody with half a brain should know. [/ QUOTE ] Well, no one has ever accused me of being a preacher before. Every market is secured by violence or with the threat of violence. It's so basic that you don't even think about it and you are certainly not aware of it. But, it's there. The oil market is no exception. Oil is traded in $ because Nixon cut a deal with the Saudi's. Any trading that goes on, any at all, is secured by violence. Period. It is a case of extreme naivete to not be aware of that.
