I am from Gulf Coast Florida and am really quite upset but people can blame BP, they can blame the president and they can even blame themselves but what people should be doing is looking forward to the future. The spill has already happened so get over who started it. Instead of pointing fingers and threatening to blow up gas stations think about what you can do as an individual to help clean-up and prevent future disasters. Pointing fingers and freaking out is counterproductive. Join your local Surfrider chapter and help clean the beaches. you can even go to La. and help. LETS HOPE ALL THE HURRICANES SKIRT THE EAST COAST AND MISS THE GULF. GOOD SURF FOR US AND NO FURTHER SPREAD FOR THEM. NK--> QUOTE=BonerSurfs;64967]And hey just throwing it out there... Not saying I believe it 100%. But there is a conspiracy theory that the US government letting this oil spill continue in order to avert the american public and media from coving what is going on in North Korea right now. North Korea pretty much inches away from causing a full on nuclear world war right now... **** is ****ed UP!!! As far as, north korea goes, you must be having a laugh if you think that the world is on the verge of nuclear war. First of all, this type of aggressive action by North Korea has happened numerous times in recent history, including a bombing in 1983 that killed 17 senior South Korean officials, as well as another North Korean bomb that downed a South Korean airliner flying from Baghdad to Seoul in 1987 killing 115. I think senior pentagon officials really dont believe that Kim Jong Il will start a war with the south because he knows he cannot win. And in the off chance that Kim Dong Il really beleives he could be victorious and launches a ballistic missile at s. korea, Japan, or the US there is no way that missile would reach its intended destination. On numerous ocassions in the past two years Defense Secretary Gates and JCS Adm. Mullen have both claimed that a N. Korean missile would be knocked out of the sky by US missile defense systems. I think, and this is just my opninon, that Kim Jong knows that if he were to start a proper war with Seoul, Tokyo, or Washington that the chance he would lose his current power would be almost gaurenteed.
