Mini rant here

There's a reason that America needs oil so much more than Europe. Think about it. American cities were built around the car. Like, cities like Charlotte or Los Angelas were built when the car was already invented, and gas was a penny a gallon. So, living in America, we have to drive everywhere. We can't walk to the movie theatre or the coffee shop because they're 10 miles away. Where as in London or Paris, the cities were built well before anyone had the car, so everything had to be built together. People can just walk everywhere

Not saying anything against or for Europe or America, just making a point.

I was just thinking about this while driving back home. American cities would benefit greatly from public transportation such as metros, subways or whatever you like to call them. Man, I sure do miss Europe.

it is true america you need to drive everywhere. and people dont want to bike through dangerous neighborhoods and motor scooters are for fanny bandits
#187 to #184 - nightstar (08/19/2012) [-]
gas was cheap, but not a penny a gallon. Rockefeller was selling his for 9cents a gallon.



But you make a very valid point. Lifestyle is different so consumption is different.

I don't see the logic behind the argument people make about the US stealing all the oil. Gas prices never go down and we got a shit ton of oil in alaska.
User avatar #208 to #177 - jiggyjohns (08/19/2012) [-]
actually any new oil goes into reserves first. so you dont see oil prices go down sometimes maybe a couple decades later

The wars in the Middle East are not for oil. The War in Iraq and Afghanistan were not declared due to Oil corporation's lobby groups, but rather via Jewish lobby groups and Jewish politicians.

There are not oil trucks stationed in Iraq nor in Afghanistan pumping oil for the US. If there were, oil prices would be extremely low.

You seem rather naive and uninformed.

Oh really? Well tell me, is it an oil corporation's lobby group that holds the most power over American politics?
#172 - I Am Monkey (08/19/2012) [-]
I get it's funny and whatever, but the people that actually think America invades countries for oil are retarded. America has massive amounts of oil on it's own land that it can't access because of environmental regulations. I'd think it would be much easier to repeal a few laws and drill here than it would be to invade a foreign country and make off with all their oil. Do you actually think anyone who is apparently evil enough to attack a nation for oil would give half a shit about the environment? There's also the gaping hole in your logic were it costs exponentially more to conduct a war than it anyone would stand to gain from oil. (There would also be the problem of carting off an entire country worth of oil without anyone noticing)

did you know the whole kony thing was set up by a oil company and they hired the director to make that video?
#203 to #172 - AnonymousDonor (08/19/2012) [-]
hmm.. fair argument, but i feel like you missed some things

right now the middle east has america by the balls - you say the reason we havent tapped alaska is because of environmental regulations? because everyone in an every-man-for-himself capitalist economy is so much more concerned about the environment than the fact that the cost of driving to work outweighs what they earn, right?
I respectfully disagree; the oil companies have already hit their halfway point and in a matter of years all the middle eastern oil will run out - especially if, for example, there are several countries holding occupation in various countries all waiting to pounce on pakistan.............once all that oil is gone, guess what alaska? basically its a monopoly

and at that point even if there were environmentalists devout enough to continue opposing alaskan drilling, they wouldnt even be able to afford the drive to the court hearing
#218 to #203 - I Am Monkey (08/19/2012) [-]
The US only gets 12.9% of it's oil from the Middle East.

Mexico has tons of oil, practically no central government, a God-awful military and they're right next door. If we were going to invade a country for oil we wouldn't go after a heavily armed (possibly nuclear) dictatorship and engaged in a clusterfuck of biblical proportions.

<-- Where our oil comes from

Mexico is part of the UN ,and that is why the US won't attack Mexico.

Wow, that's a forceful and irrefutable argument.
Thanks for contributing so much to the discussion.

Seriously, did you learn your debating skills from a 2nd grader? You can't reply to a well thought out argument with "no". That's not a rebuttal, you're just disagreeing with nothing that could possibly constitute an argument.
#176 to #172 - ghonosyphlaids (08/19/2012) [-]
Your argument is based on premises that do not fully grasp the breadth of human behaviour. Well put, though.

It is estimated that is the US would actually access all available American untapped oil, we could surpass the Saudis in oil production.

We better invade ourselves
User avatar #145 to #141 - forevertrombone (08/19/2012) [-]

If america did invade Iraq for oil, why the hell are we still paying 4 bucks a gallon?
Hell, if you're gonna steal oil hurry up and do it so my gas prices go down.
#202 to #130 - N. Korean citizen (08/19/2012) [-]
So you really think that after all of that "weapons of mass destruction" bullshit the American government is just gonna say "Yeah we just went there to get their oil so we could lower our gas price."
If they lower the prices out of the blue it just validates that they needed an excuse to invade Iraq.

Fucking hell mate $4 a gallon :O oh no... so expensive :O we're paying $6.04 a gallon in the UK... get over yourself

Hey, lets build a irreal scenario: What would happen if all latino america fights against the US. They (the US) have a lot of weapons, but we must remember that there is a huge group of latinos in the US territory.

i'm lation and i will fight for USA lol

And probably the cartels would fight for the latinos (since the victory of the US would mean they going to prision).

Yeah, but what happens with all the ground troops? I think it would be another vietnam.
User avatar #142 to #140 - thewalruss (08/19/2012) [-]
And what happens with the half US half latino citizens??? I have to friends in the US airforce that are half mexicans, and they told me that if one day the US attacks Mexico, they would fight for Mexico.

look if America did have a good reason for invading south america, the latinos would help America, in WW2 the german-americans helped fight Hitler and his Nazi army

.....well im really sad to say this, but we probably wouldnt get the truth if we really need the oil
User avatar #166 to #162 - thewalruss (08/19/2012) [-]
Yeah, okey, let's just forget about the reason... I just thought it would be interesting to build an irreal scenario, where there is a war, no reason needed. What would happen during that fight.
User avatar #170 to #166 - stevenrm (08/19/2012) [-]
i think it would be vietnam al over again because Afganistan where its most flat (besides the giant ass mountain in the middle), they cant really use guerrilla. But in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro would be hard as shit to take over
#125 - thebestpieever (08/19/2012) [-]
Pff, please. There's not nearly enough oil in there to justify the troops, equipment and supplies that America would need to spend on. Perhaps Venezuela should worry about that, but not Brazil
