Americans pushing their luck with BP!
Comments

okay but it was their name. and we all use wrong names sometimes. i think obama called it british petroleum once. and that is being made a massive thing considering i've called it that myself and didn't realise there had been an official name change either.
it took a while to start calling marathon snickers too....and i think lady di was known as lady di when no longer strictly true.
btw is bt still short for british telecom or is it just bt?
who gives a stuff about BT, what is all this bilge you are coming out with about Lady Di ?
Calling BP British Petroleum is a deliberate and calculated move by Obama and his apologists. It could be a mistake if they did it once but to do it continually smacks of being deliberate. Also there is no reference to the American companies involved.
If this was an American company at fault I think the reaction from Obama and his cronies would be different.
Obama is playing at cheap politics simply to try to improve his standing in the US which is pretty poor at the moment as he has proved to be pretty ineffectual."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

Do you include the War of Independence in that?
Goodness me Gen. I just asked my 11 year old niece about Americas war of independence and even she knew the following. The French were lining up their ships in the English Channel, hence why Britain returned so may of her troops from America to protect our country, thus leaving a skelton army in america to fight. Did you miss that day at school?
On the other wars you mention, I will look up when I get time as I don't think history is your strong point:DRENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.0 -
It's as pathetic as the people who blamed Scotland for the RBS problem.
Numbskulls the lot of them.
Maybe it should be illegal for a business to have a country's name in it to stop this problem.
But BP haven't got a country's name in their title ever since they merged with that US oil company.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

You disgusting little sh*t. I wish you would go and roll around in the oil and have it fed down your gullet until you choked.
I am going to report you to the RSPCA

I am thinking poor BP. America is the worlds largest polluter so spare me the little green rhetoric with America in the same sentence...
dont forget the atomic bomb.
And what about all that Napalm and Agent Orange on Vietnam :eek: apparently 300 tonnes of bombs were dropped for every man women or child

Obama is a typical lefty hypocritical disgrace.
A one term wonder. He is hated.0 -
I didn't think it was possible for the US to elect a worse president than George W but they managed it. He is certainly more dangerous.0

On a slightly different point.I thought Americans were obsessed with looks.
Watching the BP CEO grilling, I could not help notice that many of the senators must have been some of the most ugly people I have ever seen, especially the Waxman guy. Scary.0 -

I wouldn't worry too much about it. History clearly isn't yours either if you make these sorts of generalizations.
I have a hatred of anti-American racism as it's lazy and often and pet of hypocritical lefties that require everyone else to tread carefully while slagging off 300,000,000 people about whom they haven't a clue.
PS You might also want to get your niece to help you with spelling and capitalisation.0
