Silly foreigners, the entire world doesn't equal the amount of monetary donations of our one silly country.
You mean the fictional, non-backed bank notes and computer digits that self-propel debt? You mean the Marshall plan that endebted most European countries so the population would have to work non-stop to pay back monopoly money, after most land was already bought up through dirty tactics which involved several earlier wars?
refer to above and my first post. The monetary system is rigged in the same manner all over the world. The greedy corporations here have roots from everywhere else. The American people were exploited into slavery by means of a completely unmanageable monetary system that's not understood by people with advanced degrees.
America didn't do that, the bankers did. So from now on whenever you want to take credit for the monetary supplies the "US" hands out to overthrown sovereign nations remember that you are taking the sides of these central bankers.
If I wanted to make any point at all it was that certain people need to wake up and realize they have been tricked into a false sense of patriotism fueled by hollywood pictures, when in reality, the US has bred a mentality of: "F you, me first and I don't care if you're my neighbour!"
PS. The audacity to call people foreigners on the internet, why don't you shine your bright American light some more for folks to see how a beacon of prejudice looks like.
Once again, the people gave away more hard earned money than anyone else. Regardless of how the system is flawed, the ENTIRE international system, my point was only that the GENEROSITY of the American people is unmatched.

Great job by these women. It's good to see people personally going out to see what is really going on with the spill and the clean-up efforts. I am in Cape Coral in SW Florida and assure you if and when it gets here, I'll personally be out there seeing what the deal is and shooting video. Take action people.

Oh, so now it's about generosity? See, that statement is flawed because YOU lump together all Americans. What I'm saying is there is no one 'American' but most people have been tricked into believing there is.
Of course I know individuals can be generous, but when you're rich you have the luxury to be more generous than others. And most generosity from rich people comes with a truckload of self-interest, interest and soldiers.
But I understand that you might have misinterpreted my point, so I'll leave you with this(also to stop clogging the thread):
BP ruined my homeland, it is doing the same to yours. Being American won't save you, waving the star spangled banner won't save you. Your generosity won't help you and neither will your sons and daughters in American service...Such a shame.

We have all got to be careful. All here know, especially the trolls, that the corporations, the government and the MSM are the same entity. I'm not saying people are not getting sick, they are, but the whole objective here seems to be to purposely poison and scare the populations out of the area. What better way to do that then to over exaggerate or to fake an oil spill. In this case, MSM is doing their usual great propaganda job because there is no way they are operating against the overall agenda... BP, the government and the MSM are on the same team.... we really have to keep our thinking caps on here and try to piece this puzzle together.
Why should I trust images and sound bites that are totally controlled by BP? And I'm also going to closely scrutinize every youtube vid.... I'm sure they learned their lesson well after 911 about the power of a youtube vid.

Obviously you didn't read the whole thread...the video of the cop and lady WERE NOT the original video in the OP...that one got pulled and is only approx. 40 seconds long, later in the thread it gets reposted, but I repeat, the ORIGINAL video is NOT of the cop and lady...I think it's on page 4 that you'll find it back up again... Some of us, (myself included) made the same mistake and it kinda derailed the thread...sorry OP
edit to add, yep, page 4 xstealth video post titled CNN 128 workers sick in gulf...THAT was the original video, like I said, some of us (me, too) made the same mistake

Don't get me wrong. If anyone is sickened for real, or injured, BP should have their feet held to the fire. It's just that considering the number of workers, I'd guess a couple of hundred will feign illness seeing dollar signs and I don't think I'm being unreasonable in saying that.
