I just wanted to let everyone know, somewhere on this forum, that I will be de-activating my profile for this site. Business, graduate courses, and just general wasting of time that could be spent doing other more worthwhile things are all the reasons why I shall be leaving this site permanently. So, best to all of you and adios.

Can't you read those numbers? They show that Exxon stock has slid more than 10 points. It's as clear as day.

Richard Armitage leaked the name and he admitted it. The trial was all for show and for Patrick Fitzgerald to make a national name for himself.

Now I'm off to golf, finally.

It says it all right there. I ignored no facts, I did the research on my own to figure out the data, I didn't simply copy and paste an article like you did.

Go on Yahoo Finance and look at the 1 year stock records.

Yes yes, but I'm talking to Fanta and others who argue that all those who own Exxon stocks are going to get super rich because we are stealing oil in Iraq and with high oil prices (like they have real control over it). The fact is those big wigs in government, business, or wherever they be that supposedly own these stocks and are getting super wealthy as it goes through the roof is just not true.

Exxon is getting wealthy, like they weren't already (how dare private business make profit, whose profit margin is like 10% and one of the lowest of all business), but those who hold stock in it are not.

Exxon stock is down nearly 10 points since a year ago. All you need to do is go to Yahoo Finance and look it up to see it. 92 to 82.

That's true, well I'm off to go golfing, maybe I can get back at that wench Mother Earth by putting a few divots in her again.

I just had a pothole get thrown at me when I was driving down my street the other day, damn Mother Nature's been pissed at me for weeks now. She has it out for me I swear. I may just take her to court and sue for damages, or at least get a restraining order.

Yes Master? I never claimed that it was my own idea.

But, you use McSame, McConfused, NeoCon, and so on all the time without acknowledging that you were not the original source for that, but that is alright?

Chill out, oh wise one....lol.

Do you drive a car, use plastics, watch TV, have a cellphone, use a computer (obviously yes), eat meat, eat vegetables, ever flown on a plane?

HOW DARE YOU, YOU ARE KILLING US ALL!

Ridiculous, the world is not about to end, to think us puny humans have any real impact on this planet that it cannot deal with is a huge superiority complex issue. It could wipe us all nearly out in a few days if it chose to.

Why don't you lighten up and stop being so angry and rude all the time?

Remove all government subsidies first of all.

Institute a Fair Tax, where everyone pays the same percent in taxes. A truly fair system.

Truly cut pork spending in Washington. Something that ALL politicians have been invovled in, including Obama.

Eliminate no-bid contracts. The food service for Congress is always in debt because most Congressmen never pay bills. Bring in a private company to supply food and make those poor Congressmen on the hill pay for their meals.

Remove restrictions on drilling and exploration for all sources of energy, coal, oil, natural gas. This will create massive amounts of job opportunities, lowering unemployment. And, of course build new refineries.

Build new nuclear facilities.

Give corporate/big business tax incentives if they invest heavily in alternative fuels. And, give general tax incentives as well for research and developments of products that will have a huge impact on large amounts of the US population, such as new plastics, new drugs, and stuff of that sort.

Eliminate a minimum wage. With it increased now if forces small businesses to fire young workers, hire less, reward good employees less with wage increases, reduce benefits, and so forth. The market and employees will set a good market wage for job starters in lower fields of business.

Oh, capitalism is great, it's just when government becomes invovled in screwing with a free market when things go wrong.

Exhibit 1: Government subsidies for farmers producing corn solely for e85 ethanol. Big company farms reap total benefits, little farmers not able to supply the demand, and food prices rise here and all around the world. Third world and very poor in US get hurt the worse.

Obama is planning on giving us all alot of money, I just wonder where he plans on getting it all. Maybe he owns a field of pots of gold or has a money tree. He is the golden child after all. Actually, he just plans on tax tax taxing the same people that hire you and I for jobs.

New government programs, increased spending, new social programs, giving money back to the people, eliminating taxes for a few, increasing global aid with the Global Povery Act. That is sure a big spender there. Glad we don't have an overspending issue in government already.

Sorry, the stealing Iraqi oil thing is for the crazy people of this group. I forgot to clean this post up to be on the discussion level with someone sane, and with a really awesome picture...lol.

That use to be true about home refinery. Though, with outdated, inefficient refineries I don't disagree that the more new and advanced refineries elsewhere do it better. However, back to the first sentence. This CNN program I was watching a bit back. They said that as long as oil is above $55 for a barrel of oil it is profitable to drill and refine in the US. Granted once we probably start drilling and refining on our own suddenly a barrel of oil would drop to $40, but whatcha gonna do? lol

Canada and Mexico are foreign, so we are still dependent on foreign oil. They set the price for a barrel of oil, not us. Why Canada and Mexico decides to charge so much, especially Canada with how much oil they have I have no clue.

BLAME CANADA!

Let's put one of those evil NeoCon as VP then, they know how to manage money.

Had to edit because some people may think I was attacking a certain group of people. We all know who a NeoCon is, it's another term for people that live in Israel. It's the good way to attack an ethnicity.

If it was corporate greed and gouging than why would the companies be taking a hit in the stock market so badly? The stock of Exxon has been on the steady decline now for a looong time. I think last time I looked it was down 12% this year. If they have stolen all the Iraqi oil and are doing so well for themselves, the CEOs and those pulling the strings in government who own the Exxon stock are taking huge hits to their stocks. It has gone down nearly ten points since last time this year.
