Gas prices

[blitzkrg]

to funny.. i dragged this from high gas prices to a sept. 11th discussion..

i dunno why i'm so hostile.. it's friday. it's a nice day out (70 and p/sunny) things should be good..

my computer crashed this morning though and i lost my entire inventory database.. which means my boss will make me re-capture our entire inventory.. and that really ****ed me off.. so maybe that is why i'm so hostile..

i think i'll go do some work..

no it's not that.. my entire blood line is english..

matter of fact i have a very rich (not money wise) english heritage..

but i'm just sick of people bashing americans.. i see it day in and day out on the news.. and i'm tired of it..

i got middle eastern countries burning my flag, screaming death to americans.

we've got communist china building a butt load of missles to point at us.

we've got sadam and osama trying to figure out a way to nuke us off the planet..

internally. we've got blacks screaming they want payments because there ancestors were slaves (my tax dollars)

and i visit neowin (when i should be working) and i got canadians and euro's bashing us, calling us lazy.. and this and that..

i'm just sick of it.. i've never done anything to anybody..

i'm a normal white american male.. i pay my taxes and work hard.. i've never owned slaves. or done anything to sadam's people or any other middle eastern peoples..

yet they wanna kill me and blow me up simply because they dont like my country.. well.. i'll put a bullet in someone's skull before i let that happen..

i'm ****ed and i think i have good reason to be and i think all americans should be.. we have a rights not only as americans, but as human beings. and people are trashing us left and right and threating us left and right, and god for bid, blowing up our buildings and kill our people..

it's just not acceptable to me..

Admittedly some people in the middle east are getting fanatical about religion - I share your concerns that they have so much against us that they are willing to kill themselves to do it. I like to think I have never intentionally made racist comments against any of them before - so why take it out on the western public?

I too pay my taxes like you.. I have worked ever since I was 15 (am now 21) and I too work hard as do you. I personally do not have a problem with America whatsoever.. but there are a great deal of Americans that give you 'a bad name' - now like I already said, I have no problem with America, but the amount of times you go to forums like these, you take a real bashing for being British or European.

I dunno what I am getting at here to be honest.. but I dont think you are alone in your concerns about these 'anti-american' countries. You, as people, are starting to reap the rewards for decisions made by your government(s) - its OK for them because should the sh!t ever hit the fan, they will be miles underground in concrete bunkers, whilst the public takes the pasting. Nice to know that they care so much about you.. :(

The reserves of petrollium oil will keep going lower and within my own lifetime, would dwindle, for which the price of petrollium oil will still rise due the amount left. In turn, an electric, hydrogen or gas car would be cheaper in the long run.

here, in the United Kingdom, the price of petrol is more expensive then in the US so our cars are designed so to efficient with the consumption of petrol.

Chicane-UK - i agree with you 100% and i didnt even think about the underground thing.. right after sept. 11th half of our government was sent to underground installations "just in case"

but in the event of a large nuclear attack.. your right.. we'd all be dead and the fat cat politicians would be safe under ground.. but playing devils advocate what would they have to come back to?? a desimated country??? i think i'd rather go in the attack...

and i'm not trying to infer that we are the only ones getting bashed.. i know that the euro's dont have it great either.. (your even closer to those arab finaticals than we are) and the fact that we are allies doesnt help you any.. they are just as likely to take shots at you as they are at us...

but when your king of the hill i guess everyone wants to knock you off.. it's just a sad thing that people are the way they are.. i guess that is why i hate people so much..

well i wouldn't say that we walk around all day saying "g'day mate"

but yeah, if you say hello to me, i'll say g'day back

australian slang is a whole language in itself.. i own a guide to it for the exchange students my family sometimes hosts... it's about 600 pages

Gas prices don't really matter to me, as:

1. I don't have a car.

2. I don't know how to drive. :D

If gas prices go up, it'll be better for Alberta's oil-dependent economy. Maybe we'll actually get some education funding next year. :p

[samo123_uk]

And we thought we had Petrol Prices high...

Our prices average around 74-79p per liter and we STILL complain that there too high.

May be you should do a lorry protest or something (like we did last year or so)

[Big Booger]

94 yen per litre here.

Not to worry because me minicar gets around 300-400 KM per tank!

?0.49 a litre.. now that would be nice!

Petrol is seriously cheap over there!

[kaffra]

trying to make some calculations here,

it comes to around $0.30 something like that in Malaysia.

Unfortunately car taxes are high. :(

Its not the everyday americans everyone bashes, or at least it shouldnt be. I'm from canada and have many friends in the states that i see once in a while. Its the government that people have the problem with, they interfear with everyones affaris, israel and pakistan, forcing countries to follow the US's policy, and just the other day your government arrested a canadian citizin, for trading with cuba, what right does the US govt have to inforce its no trade policy with cuba when canada fully recongnizes the Cubain govt and trades with it freely? I have nothing against you or your fellow americans but i do against yoyr govt, they just push everyone around, including Canada(hence the softtrade lumber dispute with has devistated my provinces economy...)

its $1.50 out here, sucks cuz it used to get as low as 90 cents per gallon

BP, Sinaco, Shell, Amaco they are the same company.

Despite your having butchered their names, this is a fallicy. They are not the same companies.

As far as the freeze-out for a day goes, this was tried last year...yeah, it would if people would do it. Most don't care enough to act on it.

I just heard a prediction the other day on the radio claiming regular gas would reach 1.40...no biggie to me
