Another touchy subject .. protestors

[grassfarmer]

sorry grassy. you are wrong and misinformed. self imposed regulatory, safety and environmental measures implemented by many industries not only the oil industry are far more stringent and cost effective than government. the reason for this self induced governance was to be more effective and avoid the flawed external inspections and ultimately exceed protocol of exterior regulatory bodies.

Oh the jokes keep coming this morning... the AER is nothing but a body guard for the oil industry to allow them to get away with corner cutting and environmental pollution that would never have been allowed in previous times. This from the Government that de-regulised the electricity sector to lower the cost of power to consumers (remind me what directions prices went).

"deregulised" means what?

So no one trusts the regulators either. OK.
Some of your statements expose your backgrounds lack of any experience in anything but activism.
Go ask a 75 year old who did it how it was done.
Now go ask a white contractor what he does today.

You have Alternate facts why can't I have alternate words LOL! It was meant to be deregulated.

Ah yes , the sacred ground all these protestors left tons of garbage and waste on for someone else to clean up ... lol
All that refuse laying by a river bank that could pollute the very water way they are protesting about . Then they all just walk away ... leave the mess for others to worry about , or not.
A lot of these "protestors " the past few years from all over Should be fined and or jail time for destructive behaviour. It's getting way out of hand .
Peaceful is one thing - it's a right , but it's going too far . The political protests in the US are a glaring example .

Just another example of enviro-kooks protesting against the energy sector while leaving a huge mess for ADULTS to clean up.

Hopefully these activists can grow up, get out of their parents basements and get real jobs that will contribute to the economy.

[blackpowder]

Could be more than that.
Here, you could call it the Northern Mafia.

Really? which ones? or are you thinking of the Swedish ones LOL. I remember the LA riots in 1992 haven't seen anything like that again or are the media just not reporting them.

[furrowtickler]

Yes the ones in Sweden are a good example

The government should round them up and ship them home. They obviously dont like it here, nor our western leaders. Adios Amigos.
