Unless you think the welfare bums and old fucks can do a better job, stop bitching. You know they aren't exactly getting rich doing that shit. I'd rather pay people to do SOMETHING than NOTHING. But that's just me. Capitalist pig and all...

$4.29 in NE Indiana.

Duchess, I also heard on the news that gas prices ought to come down by at least $.20 a gallon by Memorial Day if not more). I guess we'll see what happens. Actually, the "expert" I heard was predicting lower gas prices by this weekend.

On the downside, I also heard unemployment claims were inching up so "the recovery" might not happen as quickly as hoped for.

This morning I paid 3.97 and that was the cheapest. Have seen some regular at 6 but ave here is 3.99

Holy cow. It is 3.89 in Manhattan. Probably because the President was here.
Will probably be 5.00 tomorrow.

I'm bitching that we shouldn't be paying for oil company protection...let the oil companies pay for it with their own money and mercenaries.

Just keep telling yourself that your kid is over there fighting for freedom, bigbones...

Maybe not our personal freedom at this very moment, Luke, but there are other people in the world. Like the people over there that want a chance at a good life. They wants schools and markets and peace. If we can help them with that, we have won that war.

COIN ops now include community building. We aren't just over there killing people. They have been occupied by terrorist organizations that kill them as easily as they kill us.

I just read an article about the 70 shops the US is helping build near the Helmand River so people have a permanent place to make a living and feed their families. If you keep people busy with living, they will have less of an interest in killing and dying. Maybe that money will create hope in the world. The money we spend letting our citizens sit on their asses and raise illiterate children is wasted in comparison. (NOT including money spent on the elderly. We owe them. I owe them. I know that.)

I'm sorry you are shrinking in your osteo years. Keep dreaming about my luscious bones, as long as your fantasies don't include fava beans.

Then send the fucking peace corp for christs sake....jesus, and you bitch about sheeple?

trust me bigbones, you're older than I.

Sorry your brain atrophied and brought on premature dementia. Maybe you spend too much time with your mother in law. At least you learned to crochet. That's a good thing.

Mr. Liberal Party Line is calling me a sheeple? That's rich.

You bitch about all the money that doesn't go into lazy people's pockets. Why is that?

You guys clearly haven't been to Europe.

Anyway, over here we are right now at 30C a litre, of which about 4 should go to the galon. Soon you'll be down to the price of cups no doubt.

The poppy fields are thriving thanks to the US and UK forces providing them with the security to do so.

quacker your son is basically a security guard for the opium trade, must make your chest swell with pride.

you must be talking about quacker...I've been there multiple times and that's why I made the comment about us finally paying what everyone else does...but since I haven't sacrificed a child for black gold I guess I don't know shit.

get a larger brush to paint your assumptions with. when you hear me bitch about lazy people receiving government money THEN you can call me on it...cunt

$4.15 out my front window in Northwest Ohio

How many litres to the gallon?, how many fluid ounces to the millilitre?, how many hog jaws to the corncob?

Please feel free to join use in the base 10 world of measurement anytime you like Yankees.

If europe had their own oil they wouldn't have to pay high prices either, This country should not be paying 4 bucks a gallon for gas.

It's bullshit you know?

how does 12 cents a gallon sound?

The sooner dribbling fuckwits like you recognise that cheap petrol is not and never has been an American birthright the better.

We have our own oil, see all those oil platform things in the North Sea?, those are oil platforms dipshit.

The sad fact is you have loads of oil but you still buy foreign oil from other countries so that they in turn will buy weapons and armaments from you.

These are the facts.

Poor little OP, just can't work things out on your own can you?

The north sea does not belong to you.

you have a small island that you can call your own, those oil platforms in the north sea belong to the oil companies, just like the ones in the gulf here do.

I gave you a hint nimrod, see if you can figure out the rest on your own.

Yeah the British oil companies mongtard.

If the oil in the North Sea doesn't belong to the UK then the oil in the Gulf doesn't belong to the US either does it dipshit?

Believe me your gas prices will to continue to rise exponentially and there is nothing you can do about it, pay for your share and shut the fuck up.

The oil in the gulf does not belong to the US, it belongs to the oil companies, the tax dollars that the companies generate belong to the US.

This is really tough for you isn't it?

take a look at the gasoline prices around the world, and get back to me if you can't figure out why Venezuela has gas prices of 12 cents a gallon and the UK is over 6 bucks a gallon and the US is right at 4 bucks a gallon now.

I might be convinced to help you figure it out, but only if you grovel and beg a little otherwise your stupid ass is on your it's own.
