    i could really give a shit less what they do with their money. nor how much profit the oil companies make...why would i hate on a company that markets/produces/manufactures and sells the most important natural resource in the world..the price gouge because they can..good for them, i wish i was lucky enough to own a oil company...thats why i dont give a shit about $3.75 a gallon right now either..we own performance cars...everything is more expensive..we need to pay to play.

    yeah... but it is absolutly no excuse for oil companies to be cunts and fill thier pockets like they have been... unfortunatly not every thing else has been going up with the fuel costs... all of the shipping industries are greatly sufforing because of that... you get trucks shipping potatoes and they are still hauling the same amount for the same price but now they are paying out the ass on fuel and losing thier asses off...

    another thing that pisses me off is... Diesle is a byproduct of gas... why the fuck it that shit so god damned expensive?!?!

    after the big oil (all american companies) appeared before congress the other day to explain why they were showing record profits the question was asked "why dont you cut your profits alittle and lower the price of gas to provide relief to the american people?"

    all of the oil execs fell silent and had no response.............humm

    one did respond spewing something about common sense economics..I mean why should they cut profits to help out others..doesnt every company have a responsibility to make as much profit for the shareholders as possible ?
    i like to think of it this way..people bitch about these prices..but then they bitch about "giving" their money away in taxes...on that same note why would they oil companies pretty much give away some of their potential profits so the american people can go and buy 3 more mcdonalds meals a week. I bend over and take it in the butt from big oil because..shit they are just doing their job.

    what is the MAIN goal of any company? why do you work? to make as much money as possible.

    americans ..me included bitch wayyyy to much...we use the most oil we should pay the most. it is not the oil companies fault that we are sooo dependent on them. We drive big ass cars with shitty mileage but we demand for cheaper oil prices..best way to do that..is to stop depending soo heavily on oil...i dont plan on doing that anytime soon and most people arent either..so we sleep in the bed we make. other countries that use less oil pay out the ass for it..and somehow they survive. We are hating on a company for doing its job...to make money. Why? because we arent making as much as them...period!

    yes... the goal is to make as much money as you can... but not at teh expense of an entire nations economy?!

    you're not thinking aobut the impact it has on everything... houses aren't selling (especially ones with oil heat)... transportation costs are up and companies are losing money from that... etc, etc, etc...

    thats not oil's fault..that is because american's dont have enough money to to buy the wants...after they pig themselves on the wants.."damn i dont have enough money to fill up my tank..but at least i payed my permium package cable bill with 10000 channels that i only watch 10 channels of." the fact that we only pay $5 more at fill up isnt that bad...and dont blame the housing crisis on oil.
