Obamas been kidnapped and replaced by a nutcase
His words about BP are like a "pork barrel" politician
- I couldn't believe my ears "The trouble with BP is they don't think their actions through" , that is one of the dumbest comments I have ever heard.
- 1. It's subjudice - Obama is one of America's smartest legal minds - yet here he goes making a judgment on BP before the proper evidence trial procedures have been gone through. That's unethical .
- 2. Even if guilty BP can use his statement to get off Furthermore when it does come to trial BP can get the charges thrown out or diminished on the grounds that any judge or jury will have been influenced by Obama's statement so it's impossible for them to give a fair opinion based on the evidence only
- 3. Obama is the one who clearly doesn't think his actions through - it's cut cleanup resources - He needs BP's money and resources to do the cleanup operation, but since his words talk down the shareprice .. It leaves BP with less money and loan resources to do the operation
- 4. Obama is the one who clearly doesn't think his actions through - it's cut US pensions - Again Obama's words have talked down the share price and vast amount of US pension funds are tied up in BP shares. In one quick sentence he's reduced the size of the US pension pot thus cutting the money paid to future pensioners.

- He wants to clean up the problem as fast as possible and minimize future trouble but his words are totally counter-productive and naïve. So what happened to the real smart president ?

- I can understand the behaviour of the state politicians : senators and congressmen they have an agenda to protect their own ass and stay in power so have traditionally practiced pork barrel politics of trying to get "bribes" ie government grants for their own areas ... So blaming the foreigner to distract away from their own mistakes is part of this game. But why has Obama suddenly stooped to this level : presumably his advisers already thinking about his re-election so are encouraging this cheap vote buying tactics.

- BBC Business Programme said he's set a bad precedent for American companies, they'll be be no more wiggling out of trouble like in Bhopal ... No in future if any American company has an accident in developing countries etc they'll have to cough up 10s of billions just like Obama demanded of BP. I can hear the lawyers now preparing to turn US companies into Australia or Canadian registered.

Football : that luck game played by cheats

- Watching football is such a stupid thing. I hate the World Cup crap It's got drama, but reading a book where you learn something is much better. But still the brainwashed masses do it. It is the religion of Albanian men with 99% conformity.

-1. Luck Decides not skill -You only have to see one game to see it's not decided by skill. Since there are so few goals luck is not ironed out. One bad decision by a referee to award a penalty changes a whole match likewise when he doesn't see a foul or handball. Or sometimes he decides to add on 3 minutes extra time instead of 2 thus the USA scored. A player hits the crossbar when the other 19/20 times he would have scored.

-2. It's a game of cheats - likewise one cheat can make the whole difference
- A Uruguay player blatantly palmed the ball and the Ghanaian player missed the penalty so cheating Uruguay won, just like cheating France with Thierre Henri beat Ireland. What kind of morals do these people have ? Yet the fans say "I would have done the same" so part of the game is "how good you can cheat" . What kind of message is that to young people ?

Why do people keep making Snap judgements instead of listening ?
- I have noticed that when I explain something complicated instead of instead of actually reading or listening what I say : people glance them and divine so then often completely misunderstand what I said.

Am I right ?
Well 99% of times in the past I have been right.
- And I can always explain properly in 5 pages. But what usually happens is people don't bother to read the 5 pages instead they just glance and create some simplistic fantasy in their head of my angle, which is usually wrong. So rather than waste my time I have to be my own judge
