so I should hold him accountable for being a wonderful provider but a "shitty parent" because HIS father died when he was 17 you display the kind of hostility I grew up with, until I learned to sympathize and understand that my parents are human and forgive them for the shortcomings we all...

I've got a little over $100,000 in savings and my dad would be happy to lend you or I some money. at a fixed rate with regular payments

hey pad I grew up in a "rich family", my dad's net worth is somewhere between $15-$20 million He was rarely ever around when I was growing up Oh and my mom and brother are alcoholics Care to deconstruct and psychoanalyze me into some sort of statistic to make yourself feel better about...

you don't "buy silver and gold to make money" it's gotta be one of the worst places to invest

You've been posting a lot lately,so I gotta ask pad- how dissatisfied with your life are you right now? This is a rhetorical question, not one seeking an answer because I don't want to bicker back and forth with you

Of course I get opposing views I spent much of my summer in Steamboat Springs, Colorado...skinny dipping at Strawberry Park Hot Springs. I met a girl there one night and she was into me but couldn't shake the fact that I "frac" and "pollute the environment with oil" Of course I told her I...

LOL "their" as in the government's roads? I never claimed opposition to the frost laws you fucking tool If EVERY rig in this country moved to Saudi Arabia and began drilling overseas, GUESS WHAT? THE PRICE OF OIL REMAINS THE SAME. say it with me now- "GLOBAL COMMODITY" imbecile

We currently produce more oil and gas than we import. The only reason we're aiming to export is because other currencies are gaining on ours Let's see how you twist that statement into "you don't believe we should let the American people consume American oil!"

you're the king of twisting words and outright lying A. oil IS a global commodity. I'm stating a fact. this has nothing to do with my opinion or the way I think it should be B. there ISN'T enough refining capacity at the moment. It just came out in a July article of the monthly Bakken...

wow, really? making fake quotes of things I never said? somebody ban this fucking fool for slander. I've seen you do this a few times now

that easy to find out, huh? just pull a number off a website. I used to think as simple as you do about this topic until I got into the field and realized how VAST the implications actually are. Then I stopped sputtering stupid sh*t like "the more we produce, the cheaper it'll be!" and "wall...

so what i got was... -Buffet says keystone XL is good for the country (cheaper transport). -Buffet will profit regardless *but WILL suffer a loss* not like he won't ALWAYS find opportunity ahead of the market by injecting his capital into sprouting business. He owns Red Wing Boots -Buffet...

oil is a global commodity. however much we produce here has nothing to do with what you pay at the pump. Ever notice how the price at the pump never fluctuates according to the price per barrel? As NoDrama already stated- when the price per barrel drops too low, these oil companies cease...

I never even expressed my opinion on it now what do you have (if anything) against exporting our oil?

how deep are the aquifers and how deep would the pipeline be? I just read that the aquifer ranges from 50 to 300 feet what's wrong with exporting our oil?

In North Dakota I've withdrawn $25,000 cash and they didn't bat an eye. "would you like your cash in an envelope?" was their only question. I've never seen a bank count $100,000 in plain sight until I came to North Dakota Back in New Hampshire, I've been questioned for withdrawing $2,500...

to transport oil to refineries capable of refining shale grade crude...?? BNSF railways hauls 1.1 million barrels per day from the bakken...and is owned by Warren Buffett, whom lobbies against the Keystone XL pipeline you're referring to but there are dozens of pipelines all over this...

^true that. I can't tell you how many times I've flown with anywhere with a banded-up $3k to over $10k in my pocket and held it in my hand during a pat down they never dare confiscate or even say anything about it

Yeah, almost every rig I've been on has been diesel electric. I was on a rig in colorado once where those guys threw chain. Now it's just not necessary and a safety hazard i'm def glad I'm off the rig now though. We drill the surface (first 2k ft) with saltwater, then the rest of the vertical...

you mean slick line or wireline? you ran wireline downhole to survey I'm guessing? I've done that on surface rigs, but we use MWD tools now, placed in the first collar. Our BHA is the drill bit, mud motor, 2 monels and then heavy weight Worst I've ever seen was a deck hand get caught between a...
