2. I am in favor of taking this company over not boycotting them
And use every last penny of billions of profit and future profit to clean the mess up...ummm lets see the new name of the company.

American Petroleum for Taxpayers inc

3. They are already pointing fingers everywhere but at themselves.
They DO need to be boycotted.

4. It is not about ONE company. Go ahead boycotte BP...
who the fuck cares. BP might go down because of outrage, but Shell or someone else will buy it and the executives will still be raking in the cash.

They won't care about your stinking boycott. You will still, as U.S. citizen, be a participant to consuming a lions share of oil related products. And fight on DU for your right to do so.

6. I think everybody would just be too appalled to buy anything from BP
is they failed to come through. Even if they give it their best, and don't get that leak closed very soon, we will all be ignoring their existence.

Problem is that they will be selling their oil to other retailers. You will be buying BP oil, but you won't know it.
