America defended Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The result? $70+ oil.The U.S. law prohibits price-fixing. OPEC manipulated the oil price, driving it to 50 times above the cost oil extraction cost. Oil is more profitable than heroin.The OPEC members use oil proceeds to fund religious fundamentalists who incite against America.We prosecute foreign drug cartels which violate the U.S. law without entering the country. We can similarly do away with the OPECStop the oil racket!

First post, eh? Funny, I also received this VERBATIM in my email inbox. Multiple times. Run a search on any sentence in that blurb, and you'll find that it's all over the web, too.

Close the thread and IP ban, IMO.

Re: Sign the petition to outlaw OPEC

if they had any fucking clue about law in general and the word [B][I][U]jurisdiction [/U][/I][/B]they would realize that neither the US, nor, the UNn have any authority over a group of nations forming a coalition based upon a common natural resource. we can outlaw thier products in the 50+, but then we would be paying triple what we do now, begging canada to tap thier northern feilds, which lie below a few thousand feet of ice and mountain.

dumb ass.

Re: Sign the petition to outlaw OPEC

whats even funnier is that OPEC doesnt actually control the price of oil anymore. Canada is the world's biggest oil supply now, by quite alot, and along with several other countries let the price of oil be determined by supply and demand. OPEC has nothing to do with $70 oil. Peak oil, china, unrest in Iran and Nigeria...these are things that have contributed to the high price of crude.

Re: Sign the petition to outlaw OPEC

well i am usually the biggest proponent of a free market economy and allowing capitalism to work. frankly, because they do, and [I]usually[/I] in the best interest of the people, but i gotta go against my thoughts here. oil, along with healthcare, and health insurance should be heavily regulated in regards to price. they are all vital, and frankly, shouldnt be allowed to rake the everyday person. we arejust lining the pockets of a bunch of royal familes and sultans by paying more and more. if there could be an agreement formed amounst the crude oil processors to cap what they would pay, creating a lvl ground in regards to price, it would only help the world as a whole. you could allow the market to dictate retail price in the end by quality, rather than the asking price of some saudi prince's cousin who already owns a few yachts.

[quote=day_for_night]...these are things that have contributed to the high price of crude.[/quote] ...as well as our inability to refine oil at a faster pace which also coincides with supply/demand. i forget what the numbers are, but we've not built a new refinery in years while the demand steadily increased. Add hurricane Katrina into the equation, which wiped out several refineries, and the price of oil at the pump is our own fault as well.

Re: Sign the petition to outlaw OPEC

Americans shouldnt really be allowed to complain about gas prices.

  1. They pay little compared to various place in Europe
  2. They have no government who taxes them alot on gas
  3. They dont really make that much cars, like the japanese, which need less gas a mile
  4. They refuse to drive around in smaller cars which saves gas and are much better for the environment. A big car with a big engine oh dear i cant do without that.
  5. They plant a ridiculous amount of traffic lights in cities...which are not really good for indeed saving gas.
  6. They have this traffic rule to stop at each crossing and the one who is first there may drive over the crossing first. Quite retarded to stop at pretty much every crossing even if no car is coming. It could well be safer than the Europena rules...but makes traffic slow and cars have to shift gears more often. So that makes the car use more gas.

Re: Sign the petition to outlaw OPEC

x, my car gets 27 to a gallon. the real problem is people like my mom. we call them soccer moms. my mom, is 52, she works as a spec ed student aid. all her children are out of the house, and she has to only carry her pocketbook.

my moms car.... the biggest fucking thing that doesnt require commercial plates in NY. 14 miles er gallon. stop soccer moms from driving trucks and mini vans. shit stop women from driving anything bigger than a 4 door accord for the sake of everyone on the road.

For most people a Peugeot 206 would be more than convenient enough, or something from the same class. Hell even a Dacia Logan would be more than enough.

Re: Sign the petition to outlaw OPEC

Even if i had much money i wouldnt buy myself an expensive car. I just don't get any extra joy with any car...its fun enough to drive a ford fiesta.

So even as a manager or ceo or something in some company i would drive a 20.000 euro car to the max.

the inability to refine crude hasnt resulted in higher oil prices; it has, however, resulted in higher gasoline prices ;)
