I'm rather fond of uncontaminated Atlantic Salmon...I think it needs to stay Uncontaminated. Liquidate all the Oil Companies with Rigs in the Gulf, Absorb Cuba and Mexico as US States, and get you all jobs involving a shovel.
#2 Ragnar_Lodbrok Jul 13, 2010 18:02:39	... You do realize that that would be horrenously expensive, right? The oil would disperse within that hundred years, anyhow. I fail to see how this would be anywhere near a good idea.
#3 toastedamphibian Jul 13, 2010 23:11:57	... where are we going to get that much dirt? If we don't fill it in, its just going to fill up again. Florida certaintly dosn't have any to spare. Forcing all the water into the atlantic might even cause it to overflow overtop of florida and back into the gulf.
#4 Ragnar_Lodbrok Jul 13, 2010 23:25:16	Another good point, seeing as Florida's just an oversized sandbar. And do you really think that we could absorb Cuba and Mexico (though it would solve the immigration issue)?
#5 boraxe Jul 14, 2010 8:55:18	Who the hell would be dumb enough to actually come up with this idea, and then tell people about it?
#6 scypio Jul 14, 2010 8:59:20	And how does this do anything to save the world?
#7 Klirshon Jul 14, 2010 9:08:26	@Boraxe: Someone that doesn't understand physics and wants to be considered a heroic genius? If only "saving the world" was as easy as throwing out insane ideas that don't include possible consequences... physics is a cruel master.

#9 scypio Jul 14, 2010 9:59:25	Crazy scheme is to prevent contamination from the Gulf to the Atlantic.
#10 Pinnacle Jul 14, 2010 10:17:56	I don't think you can just... claim other countries.  If you can, I want one.  Haven't decided which yet, though.
#11 EscherEnigma Jul 14, 2010 11:43:54	I don't think you can just... claim other countries. Well, you can, but they normally protest for some reason.  With guns.
#12 zombie_babies Jul 14, 2010 12:02:56	Not always, though.  Sometimes all ya need to do is tell 'em they're yours now.  Hell, sometimes it's what they want anyway.
#13 boraxe Jul 14, 2010 13:27:56	Crazy scheme is to prevent contamination from the Gulf to the Atlantic. Well then it's both crazy and wrong.
#14 scypio Jul 14, 2010 14:25:50	Its wrong on so many levels.
#15 yellowdingo Aug 15, 2010 21:28:15	Irrelevent now anyhow. USA's secret plan to sabotage the Oil Rig and liquadate BP's Assets fell through when BP finally capped the Well leak. Their evil plot poisoned all the Gulf Fish Stocks and the oil will slowly spread to contaminate Atlantic Salmon in the Atlantic...
#16 Ragnar_Lodbrok Aug 16, 2010 0:02:24	I think that may be crazier than the first post. You have heard the expression "Do not attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence", no? If the government had sabotaged the well, the public would eventually find out. Hilarity Ensues.

Their evil plot poisoned all the Gulf Fish Stocks and the oil will slowly spread to contaminate Atlantic Salmon in the Atlantic... are you kidding? If anything, it is an evil left wing conspiracy to never drill again and eventually to destroy the oil industry and then we will be back to driving horse and buggy shooting muskets at each other, except we won't have any muskets as they will take away our right to bear arms too....and then we will be stuck playing D&D in the daylight hours, because electricity was abolished as light bulbs are bad for our ozone layer. Darn those Hellions.

Darn those Hellions. uh what?  Im as far left as you come and while I want us to stop drilling its gasp so that we can actually develop something logical that doesnt cause almost irreparable harm to the ONE planet we have right now? Seriously we should never have allowed drilling in the gulf in the first place.

(Okay, that was mean and I apologize. I just had to do it though.)
