The BP Disaster~A World Event

I knew you would like that and thanks for not nitpicking. I appreciate it!

 

Well since you seem to be a resident expert on British Petroleum, why don't you just explain how the company has changed and why they changed their name?

 

The company is not called British Petrolium you know it but are to obstinate to admit that you got it wrong, so lets leave it at that I have no time to continue wasting on your stupidity.
Also if you took the time to read another post I actualy made on the company you would see some of there diversity, but you wont

 

But before I do finish lets just ponder on something here you are saying that the company NEVER changed it's name is that right? that they never droped the name British Petrolium in favor of the simplyfied BP? A simple Yes or No will surfice.

 

Can we just call it BP née British Petroleum?

 

I already admitted that they changed the name Mr. moderator. The fact remains that the superficial name change is not germane to my original point which is that BP is a British company and that greed is not solely owned by US capitalists. However, you have successfully nitpicked this to change the entire direction of this thread. Therefore, I will continue to refer to the company using the name they bore for over 80 years. If that ticks you off, good!

 

Yes....changing the direction of a thread is YOUR job, right Sparky? Can't have anybody cuttin' in on your territory. The original "let's talk about steel crumbling due to blah,blah,blah" and "never mind the more obvious facts....confuse and manipulate instead".
"Change the entire direction of this thread". LOL Too funny...from the master himself.

 

Your original point was the company was called British Petrolium, would you like me to repost your original post for you? and again I will ask you to show me a single post were I HAVE SAID THEY ARE NOT BRITISH? You mentioned not a single thing about Greed in your Original Post As for ticking me off all it does is make you sound even stupider
Any way lets talk about how the Brooklyn Dodgers or the New York Giants are doing at Baseball this season LOL

 

Your original post, now show me were you mentioned Greed?

Tom,

You do know that BP stands for British Petroleum don't you?


There it is and I told you the company was no longer called British Petrolium but you woudnt accept that.

 

Has Craig hijacked your account?

I have never seen you act this way. My first post was in response to TomCorona and it was a leading question. You decided to nitpick an irrelevant point (BP name change) which forced me to divulge my actual point prematurely.

I have quoted your most recent post and my first three posts made in this thread. In my second post, please refer to the sections in blue. I admitted that they changed the name and stated my point which is that greed is not solely an American trait.

I immediately accepted that fact that they changed their name. However, the name change is meaningless. They are still a British (B) controlled petroleum (P) company. There are plenty of other people who agree with me on this issue. If you don't believe, please read this thread on another forum.

What's in a name?

I await your nitpicking response.

 

I simply told you the company was NOT CALLED British Petrolium which you said they were and Your Response

Google British Petroleum and tell me what comes up. I don't care that they changed their name to "Beyond Petroleum". The simple fact is that the controlling interests of the company are British.

They changed it to BP not Beyond Petrolium Also you never mentiond excepting it you said you did not care then went on about them been British and have continued to do so!
I never Mentioned that they were NOT British in my post Have I? Have I mentioned anywere that I thought they were not greedy? Have I said anywere that I thought It was only a American Trait NO I HAVE NOT, Yet you continue to bring it up, I simply told you what there name actualy was Now that is not Nitpicking that is been factual something you seem unable to handle.
Since then all you have done is attack because you know you were and still are wrong
As for it been a irrelevent point it was relevent enough for our Prime Minister to ring Your President when he and Nancy Pelosi used the term in press confrencess, you might have noticed that they now call the company by it's correct name BP, now if you believe that something that came very close to causing a diplomatic incident with your strongest ally is a irrelavence !!

 

I never denied that they changed the name of the company Steve, I only said I don't care that they changed the name as it wasn't relevant to my point. The first sentence in my post regarding Googling British Petroleum was to show you that despite the name change if you google British Petroleum, you are led directly to BP's website. And for some reason I thought you said they changed the name to Beyond Petroleum, otherwise I would have just said BP.

What is with your country and their hatred of the word British. You know the Open Championship was won in a run away today at St Andrews. I remember when it was called the British Open. A few years back they changed the name to the Open Championship. Funny how nothing else changed but the name. Do you think they should be allowed to call it the 139th Open Championship when it wasn't called that 20 years ago?

 

Absolutly nothing to do wit any hatred towards my own country it is simply to so with presenting the actual facts and not what one might like something to be

 

You mean like telling me

When earlier in the thread you told me this

It is annoying isn't it? This nitpicking game that you guys have dedicated your PRWE lives to. How about you just admit that while the official name may have changed, it is not relevant to my overall point!

 

I'm just curious here Lehigh. I read a lot of the BS that transpires on PRWE but rarely comment anymore. Still, it's good for entertainment purposes.
Who are the "you guys"?

 

Craig & Steve

 

LOL now lets talk about nitpicking so I did not word it quite right the name is BP not beyond Petrolium that is the Tagline
Now this is direct from Wiki explains it better than I can

In 2001 the company formally renamed itself as BP plc[33] and adopted the tagline "Beyond Petroleum," which remains in use today. It states that BP was never meant to be an abbreviation of its tagline

There does that help you to understand LOL

Love the way your overall point has changed as the thread has progressed from simply saying the company was called British Petrolium LOL

 

My overall point has always been the same. My initial post in this thread was a leading question meant to trap TomCorona. It would have worked if you hadn't decided to set the world record for nitpicking in a single thread.

You have proven to be a professional nitpicker worthy of the Craiga Award. Now let's see if you can perform another skill called counting. I have quoted almost every post I have made in this thread. Count the number of times that I stated what my overall point was (hint: they are highlighted in blue).

Now if you are not man enough to admit that your last statement is completely false then we will be forced to conclude that not only can you not count, you can't read either.

BTW, I nitpicked your post on purpose to show you how annoying it is. I even admitted as much in my post.

 

Lets start with your first post shall we, the one were I told you that you had the name wrong

Did you or did you not say the company was called British Petrolium?

Now show me were exactly I have ever said the company was not British?
Were I have ever stated that the company was not greedy?

I have asked you to do this before but you manage to twist out of it and start throwing insults LOL
You did not like been told you were wrong LOL All I have said in post after post the company is not called British Petrolium, you sir started on about it been British run and all the management been british I again pointed out they were in fact not and that the 2 largest shareholders were American (you didnt like that Either LOL) now if you had taken a few moments to actualy raed up on the company prior to making your initial statement then you woudnt have been in this mess but of course that would have rewquired a bit of thought LOL
As for irritating far from it I find it highly ammusing, please do continue )

 

for real man
