What is your opinio about GAS PRICES?
My opinion is that "I HATE GAS BEING SO HIGH " we should stop buying gas for two days and maybe they will drop the prices then....

Sh*t i agree with you, there is no governing body that regulates gas prices, so they can just put up the prices has they wish, and no one makes cash from it except the Illuminati...... i hate it!..

George Bush is responsible for this as well as the protection of a boycott for gasoline:
there are currently people who have been arrested for causing economic damages over 10k$$. They are actually charged with a form of econimic terrorism and held in terror prisons, example the S-H-A-C-7 a group of animal rights protestors who commited NO vandalism or violent acts, no tresspassing no assault and no threats. They however caused a company to loose profits via somene totaly unrelated to the group and are being held as terrorists in a federal terrorist prison on lockdown 23 hrs most days and denied phone privledges.
trust me, there are things in place assuring the stockholders of oil companies that there will be no 100% boycott. Also remember if you dont buy gas then dont burn gas, that is the only way to truely boycott the fuel industry, because they will make record sales to make up for the 2 days we boycott. Because everyone has to refill the used gas they used on those 2 days.

You can stop buying gas for one week if you want. Simple economics will dictate that demand will just come from elsewhere because supply is restricted or limited by OPEC. Basically meaning it will make no difference.
The US economy is slowing down, the US dollar is losing value, supply is limited, demand is still high and other "constraints" as the war bring the price per barrel to where it is now. Only way out is stopping dependency on oil

This is what the government wants you to think and it is far from the truth. The truth is that the oil cos. manipulate the market to extract the highest possible prices and get the blessing of the Bush admin to get away with it.
Oil and oil prices should be declared a national security issue and treated as such.
OPEC has absolutely nothing to do with our gas prices. They are a result of intentional lack of refinery capacity, convenient refinery shutdowns and for Gawds sake who knows why, futures traders, who do absolutely nothing, who drive up the cost of a barrel they have zilch to do with, by buying and selling fictitious oil and driving the price up.
What the hell else can we expect when all of the top officials in the govt are all oil people and are corrupt?

ya gas went from 3.30 to 3.45 over night down where Im from
Look guys, their is something going on here.......their is a member on here, who is educated on the matter, his profession is involved with oil.....a suit job if you willl.....he will swear up and down that the prices are justified....
Now I am not educated like this guy.....but this is what I know
1. their is more demand for gas in the summer than in the winter......every year, the price goes down in the winter
2. this year, the price of gas did not go down as the weather go colder.....the price of gas in january, was the same price as in july down where I'm from.....
Now, tihs is indicitive of foul play....They know what they can get away with....they know what they can get away with, and they will keep pushing........Last edited by IronReload04; 03-12-2008 at 12:25 PM.

Oil companies are suck greedy pricks that even if there was a national boycott then they would lower the price to lure in all the spineless pricks.

I am in the minority on this one but I am happy to see gas prices rising and I hope they continue to rise. We need to end our dependance on oil and start taking better care of the environment. Seems like all the biatching in the world has done nothing in those areas so maybe a hit at the gas pump may help. I also drive only a motorcycle so when gas doubles, I spend an extra $10-20/month. I can handle that.

If you dont like the price of gas, try living in a lot of other countries where its about twice as much as we pay in the states, its about $8/gallon in UK..not to mention in other countries most people dont drive around in big gas guzzling cars that get 6 miles to the gallon..buy a more fuel efficient car..we as americans think we should have our cake and eat it too..gas prices arent gonna go down..get used to it..

when Sadam was in power, Iraqis had running water, electricity, food and many other neccesaties they dont have now. More Iraqis have been killed in the past 12 months than EVER speculated by Sadams regime. I dont think he was a good guy, im not saying that, but IMO we have caused a whole lot more damage thsn good thus far for the Iraqi people...
voice of conservative: everday the iraqi people are happy to see us rolling through their town blah blah blah...why do like 2 out of 100 people always say the Iraqis are happy we invaded their country and turned it into a civil war?

do you even know what your talking about?
Like his dad, Junior struck out in Texas and founded an oil company, Arbusto Energy, Inc., with $20,000 of his own money. (Arbusto is the Spanish word for bush.) The company foundered in the early 1980s when oil prices dropped (and his dad was Vice President.)
The 50 investors, who were "mainly friends of my uncle" in Junior's own words, put in $4.7 million and lost most of it. Junior claims that investors "did pretty good," but Bush family friend Russell Reynolds told the Dallas Morning News: "The bottom line was there were problems, and it didn't work out very well. I think we got maybe 20 cents on the dollar."
As Arbusto neared collapse, Spectrum 7 Energy Corporation bought it in September 1984. Despite his poor track record, the owners made Bush, Jr. the president and gave him 13.6% of the parent company's stock.
Spectrum 7 was a small oil firm owned by two staunch Reagan/Bush Sr. supporters -- William DeWitt and Mercer Reynolds. These two were also owners of the Texas Rangers and allowed Bush Jr. to purchase a chunk of the team cheaply; he later sold it for over 24 times what he paid.
Within two years of purchasing Arbusto and making Bush Jr. president, Spectrum 7 was itself in trouble; it lost $400,000 in its last 6 months of operation. That ended in 1986, when Harken Energy Corporation bought Spectrum 7's 180-well operation.
Junior got $227,000 worth of Harken stock, and a lot more. He was named to the board of directors, made $80,000 to $100,000 a year well into the 1990s as a "consultant" to Harken, and was allowed to buy Harken stock at 40% below face value.
He also borrowed $180,375 from Harken at very low rates; the company's 1989 and 1990 SEC filings said it "forgave" $341,000 in loans to unspecified executives.
So what did Junior do for all this money? It's hard to say exactly, but things happened for Harken after Junior came on board:
it got a $25 million stock offering from an unusual bank with CIA ties,
it won a surprise exclusive drilling contract with Bahrain, a small Mideast country, and
an Arab member of its Board of Directors was invited to White House policy meetings with President George Bush and National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft.

Bush is a little puppet thats all,he does what he is told!why do u think when the 9-11 stuff hit off his vice president was always with him?(in a time of national crisis it is common practice to have both vice president and president in 2 different locations ,why not then wasnt that a time of national crisis?)So if he gets choked up he can bail him out.People are so uneducated on what is really going on in the world thats why we let these things just roll off our backs.
