50 Fact that Should Change the World: http://nipun.charityfocus.org/blog.php?id=929

^Everyone should at least read this link (its really a book, but they're listed here)^

Now you can read my rank...lol...

I know that there are a lot of heated opinions out there, but i just have to say that Americans can be such idiots sometimes.

This whole incident with BP. Protesting BP. Refusing to buy oil from BP. Fine, thats...fine. But these protestors are the same people buying products from companies causing the same problems or worse in other countries, but when someone says "hey, you should probably stop drinking Coke" they just shrug it off. Americans don't care about the environment. They care about blaming foreign companies for anything bad that happens on their soil.

I hear these "down-home-southern" men complaining about those damn brits and their oil spill. Alright then, why don't you stop driving your gas guzzling trucks and get rid of the need for oil companies? Oh right, thats waaaaaay too much to ask. You complain about companies and you boycott when disasters happen, even though it could have happened to any big company. So what? You boycott BP and buy from Exxon...? Oh yeah, that so much better! At least what BP did was not intentional. American companies spread across foreign soil intentionally destroying the environment, but you dumb protestors don't care about that right? Because you want your cheap goods at cheap prices and you don't care where it came from or how it got there.

So fine. Run BP out of town! BUUUUUURN THEM! Call them bad names! Get yer pitch fork and get 'em outta here!!!

Its starting to drive me a little crazy that you'll so adamantly oppose one oil company (mainly because you probably didn't shop there to begin with, so its no skin off your nose to protest them), while at the same time shopping at companies who are probably engaged in similar acts of destruction.
