New Zealand is Awesome?

Post by Karjalan » 11 Jun 2010, 00:46

Well ok, this is more about the tragedies befallen on our ocean brethren, but an interesting TED talk non the less. He wanks on about loving NZ and it's conservation of wildlife (particularly the ocean), and now that I think about it, it is a very serene country.

He talks about how bad life is getting for our ocean creatures, and anyone who knows anything about the planet's history, the ocean is the base of the food chain and the basis of life. This is before the fantastical current oil spill in mexico... but don't worry, BP has managed to get 6,000 barrels of oil a day out of the ocean and into it's coffers to sell off, that is after cutting the pipe and increasing the oil flowing into the ocean by about 12,000 barrels a day. So yeah, a net gain of 6,000ish barrels of oil leaking into the ocean is perfectly fine now that BP can make a little more money off it.

you're missing the point karj it's now "under control" where as before it wasn't as bad but; out of control....

consider losing your steering and hitting a lightpole OR regaining control and steering off a bridge. Sure the second one is worse but think of how awesome the car will look as it smashes through the guard rails and gets some sweet hangtime...before you plummet to your death... Net positive choice[/derail]

Haha that was real good ash. Kind of true. Although Haliburton did have more to do with it than the joke implies, I mean they literally ran the show. I'm pretty sure it's like blaming a record company for Chris Brown bitch slapping Rihanna. They throw money at Haliburton and let them run the rig etc. then take profits and manage where it goes.
