No, but we deserve not having 10% of our economy in their hands, which was obtained by ripping off the people or this country.
I was sorta kidding, but seriously, since we've done a lot of good deeds to the world, we deserve good deeds back, such as low oil prices. I think the American gov't is too soft on the oil-producing countries. We need to be firm with them.

[QUOTE=NFRs2000NYC,May 20 2007, 05:06 AM] Yea, when you are robbing the rest of the world, it's easy to be rich. Enjoy that video the next time you guys are paying 3.50 a gallon.

Considering we have to carry the oil literally across the entire planet, added to the fact that a lot of fiesty terrorists would love to get their hands on some of that black gold, I'm fine with paying a few extra dollars. Europe pays much more than we do, and they're even closer to the Middle East. Are gas prices really your main concern, or is there something else scratching at your belly??

I mean, we, as a country, can kill hundreds of thousands of innocents in the Middle East, and you don't peep a word. No, in fact, you set that aside as collateral damage; "Oh you know how those bomb raids are, you never know what you're gonna hit! LOLZ!!"

Now, you want to complain because some guy, who just so happened to be living on top of our planet's number 1 natural resource, is going to sell it to us at the extra charge of 2-3 bucks, WHILE Exxon and many other oil companies, owned and operated by great Americans like you and I, are rolling in surpluses in the billions? Where's the logic in this? Just because you don't see Shell's CEO driving around in platinum-plated Enzo's doesn't mean he's not making the money while you sit there in traffic looking for the cheapest station! Wake up! Have you seen a penny of the billions companies are making in Iraq while American soldiers die?


For those of you who dont want to pay gas prices, this great nation has provided an ample number of possibilities for you to travel via public transportation.

I'd also like to add that there are a lot of stupid mother****ers lurking this board

I don't see what is so bad about these middle easterners spending their money. Who give two shits that bill gates is filthy rich but looks like a bum. What is the point of earning so much money if you are not going to buy billion dollars worth of cars.

People make money using different techniques, it does not mean they are robbing others to make themselves rich. If they did rob people they wouldnt be making $10 billion contributions to charity.

If we were to invade the Middle East for oil, I, for one, would enlist myself into the military even though I'm way past the eligible age. Oil! Oil! Oil!
