PETA vs pipeline protestors.... cage match!!!

[D.B Cooper]

Getting pretty sick of all these hypocrite pipeline protesters.   

Unless you live off the grid, you are benefiting from oil. 

Even the people who don't drive cars and only bike around use oil products.  

Steel manufacturing, rubber tires, plastics all use oil that has been transported by pipelines.   

 

Whether the hippys, Vancouver hipster cyclists, environmentalists, natives like it or not, the pipelines are going to happen sooner than later.  

 

Money rules all, and the oil companies have more than enough to make it happen.  

 

I'm all for strickter regulations and increased safety, but get out of the damn way.    

[Hookman]

LOL at the dad bailing without trying to get his wife and kids off first . The lady's face who stayed on the trolley is priceless when she's staring back at the family that jumped.

^{Wow, was laughing my head off....LOL that is fun stuff whoa}

[HerrDrFunk]

Because no one was hurt, I feel fine with laughing my ass off at this.

If you are going to be for the pipeline, there are a billion arguments that are stronger than this one.

Protesters are the yin to the greedy oil yang.  You don't have to participate, you don't have to like it, but it is necessary to have it or oil barons will do stupid stuff like put a pipeline through inaccessible, environmentally sensitive areas.  You said it yourself, money rules all, does it not makes sense to let the counterpoint exists?

What does this comment have to do with what you hilighted?    Are you telling me these protesters aren't total hypocrites?

 

My argument for the pipeline is, it is a HUGE source of income for the country. 

Both my brothers work locally as welder fabricators.  

One brother who has a wife and 3 kids has been working for the same company for over 15 years.    

Because of the decline of the oil industry, his company is getting shut down in a couple months. 

The other has seen a huge decline in his business and they don't know how long they are going to keep going. 

Thats over 130 people about to be out of long term employment.

That is a sliver of the big picture. 

We have watched pretty much an entire province get laid off. 

You might not see t directly, but it is having a huge impact on BC as well.  

 

As long as the right procedures and regulations are put in place, I see the pipelines as nothing but a positive.  

We are at a point where we can build safe and efficient pipelines.  

This country needs oil.  We have a ton of it.  We sure need the money.

I didn't say it was the morally right thing to do. 

How can someone actually deny global warming? It's a proven fact.  

And yeah, I think people have a lot to do with it.

How about use a better trained horse?  God.  There will be cars with actual horns on the streets.

It was kind of funny...reminded me of the King of Queens episode where he and his wife were readying for take off on a flight and the oxygen masks popped down...all except for his...so he grabbed his wifes before she could......

Just funny to watch, I probably would of done the same thing. There is a correct way of getting off a moving car though from my experience through work. Trailing foot first and swing away from the direction of movement. Watched the interview after the mom and dad were having a laugh about it when they were being interviewed. Good story to tell when you go back home.

Pipelines are a way to maintian our biggest industry while reducing CO2 emissions.

 

It's like putting in more effiecient light bulbs in your home. At the end of the day people are still going to use electricity so you might as well find a way to be more eco friendly. 

 

Unless you enjoy shipping oil from rail and trucks?  you know the part of the industry the counts for 80% of emissions. 

 

If you truly cared about global warming you'd be for pipelines. Pipelines don't create the demand they are a means to supply.  Canada doesn't even produce and refine enough oil to meet our own demands.  We buy and import for foreign countries. Countries that have far less environment regulations.  We do this not because we don't have enough supply. We do this because we arnt capable of transporting enough oil, fast enough and efficient enough. 

 

Pipelines are a win and win for this country. And if you still want to reduce your global foot print that's fine and up to you and this country. But in the mean time people still need oil to live. its not a pipeline that's getting in the way of people doing that. Pipelines don't force people to use more oil. People need to start and understand that. 

 

Drummerboy is right. Even if you cut off all Canada oil. The demand doesn't just disappear, it just means we'd put more emphasis on importing more oil from elseway, instead of drinking from our own tap, we pay to drink from someone else's.
