Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / July 2007When will people Begin to Boycott Exxon/Mobil?
Sure we have to buy gas, but Exxon/Mobil is actually flaunting there billion dollar profits. They lied in front of congress with the rest of them. Then levelled off prices until things quited down now they are leading the way in raising prices again with threats of $4 per gallon gas. I havnt perchased from Exxon in over a year. If nobody else did it would lowere there profits and prices. If Exxon lowered prices below Shell's prices then we would have a lowest price war if people continued to boycott Exxon even after lowering prices. To bad Americans have just lost common sense and can't figure out that the best way to start fighting back is to Boycott Exxon/Mobile the biggest oily profit maker out there. They also perpetrated a billion-dollar LIE campaign in California last year to defeat a proposition that wold have had them paying us for OUR oil in OUR state on OUR land. That's where our gas money went. > Sure we have to buy gas, but Exxon/Mobil is actually flaunting there > billion dollar profits.

When you go to the super market to buy ANY food item that is produced in California, you are also paying for something that is on YOUR state, on YOUR land. The water that southern Californians use, comes from the Colorado river, which does not come from California, it comes from the rain water that fell on other states, which you are using....which means you are "stealing" someone else's water..... > They also perpetrated a billion-dollar LIE campaign in California last > year to defeat a proposition that wold have had them paying us for OUR oil [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> fighting back is to Boycott Exxon/Mobile the biggest oily profit maker >> out there. > When you go to the super market to buy ANY food item that is produced in > California, you are also paying for something that is on YOUR state, on > YOUR land.

Californians are NOT stealing anything--they are negotiated agreements re the use of Colorado River water even though the Colorado River usually, now, disappears into the Mexico sands, MANY miles from the sea. >> They also perpetrated a billion-dollar LIE campaign in California last >> year to defeat a proposition that wold have had them paying us for OUR [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >>> fighting back is to Boycott Exxon/Mobile the biggest oily profit maker >>> out there. > > When you go to the super market to buy ANY food item that is produced in > > California, you are also paying for something that is on YOUR state, on [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Californians are NOT stealing anything--they are negotiated agreements just like all the oil contracts are. hehehehehehe. > When you go to the super market to buy ANY food item that is produced in > California, you are also paying for something that is on YOUR state, on YOUR > land.

Two things: - They're not flaunting their profits. They are required to report them to their shareholders. - If you would learn to write, you might be taken seriously. >> Sure we have to buy gas, but Exxon/Mobil is actually flaunting there >> billion dollar profits.

Oh I can actually write very well, but when people like you respond with nothing much to say but to critique someones spelling what is the point. You sound like a pompous a.s hole, I bet you work for an oil company. >>> Sure we have to buy gas, but Exxon/Mobil is actually flaunting there >>> billion dollar profits.

See, I told ya..."someones" is missing the possessive, plus it would have been nice to have a comma after the word "spelling" and you should use a question mark at the end of that sentence. > You >sound like a pompous a.s hole, I bet you work for an oil company. Sorry, but I must also point out that "a.shole" is one word. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=asshole Sorry again, but it would seem by your posts that you CANNOT write very well. >>>> Sure we have to buy gas, but Exxon/Mobil is actually flaunting there >>>> billion dollar profits.

What an a.shole, since when did "ya" become a word? And you want to grade someone on the English language? >>>>> Sure we have to buy gas, but Exxon/Mobil is actually flaunting there >>>>> billion dollar profits.

It's slang, you moron...and I used it on purpose, whereas you're so-called posts are littered with unintentional, bonehead errors. If you ran a business, what is more important, high profits or high return on investment? >> Sure we have to buy gas, but Exxon/Mobil is actually flaunting there >> billion dollar profits.

Many of us believe the major oil companies are moving back toward the monopolistic organizations that were broken up decades ago, and that they are profiteering by price fixing and gouging. We may be wrong, but I dont think so. A good many in Congress dont think so either.

Besides, if one company is trying to make a bigger profit, they can do that by raising prices. But when they do that, there will be other companies, who will most likely sell their products at a lower price. And only a nut would pay more for gasoline when they do not have to. And since in just about any town, there is always some competition, Exxon or any other company, would soon find they are selling a whole lot less of the stuff. > If you believe in the free enterprise system, there is no such thing as > price gouging.

I dont believe in the practical monopoly system, nor privateering. You are very naive to think that the major refiners, which are oil companies, do not conspire. And, yes, there IS price gouging. It has happened during hurricanes and other natural disasters. There are laws against price fixing, and price fixing is exactly what I think is in the works now. On multiple levels. > There are laws against price fixing, Who has been successfully prosecuted under them? Not even Eliot Spitzer has tried. >> If you believe in the free enterprise system, there is no such thing as >> price gouging.

When there is a sudden supply shortage, such as after a natural disaster, it's quite natural for prices to go up, that's the way the market responds to disruptions, and it's NOT gouging and there is nothing wrong with it. Jeff DeWitt > now they are leading the way in > raising prices again with threats of $4 per gallon gas. No, hysterical push-polling by Ted Turner and other media cretins are the only ones talking about $4 gas.

Oh, I've been over them since their CEO basically thumbed his nose at us last time. Natalie > They lied in front of congress with the rest of them. Don't you think the Democrats would be tripping over themselves to begin prosecution of the oil companies if they found them to be lying about anything? They have no evidence of any wrongdoing by the oil companies otherwise they would be championing the cause of bringing them down before the elections.

In fact, your 401(k) plan probably has some exposure to stocks, oil stocks included. Therefore, companies making money is a good thing, no?! When compared to other oil companies what is their return on stock holder equity? When compared to other companies, is their return on stock holder equity higher or lower? "If" you owned a company, would you prefer to have a large profit margin, and a low return on investment, or would you prefer to have a low profit margin, and a high return on investment?

That's not the only reason to choose another oil company over Exxon/Mobil. The investment in alternative energy by the Big Oil Co's need to be encouraged. Exxon/Mobil has resisted such investments while BP and Shell have been spending their profits on finding a way out of this mess. The cigarette companies learned this a while back when they wisely diversified into food. Boycott Exxon/Mobil. Buy Shell, BP(ARCO), or Citco As for Exxon/Mobil selling their gas to smaller ma&pa type outlets, the good news here is even if they do, they will not make as much profit as they would if they sold it thru their own franchies.

You make that sound like it's a bad thing. Snicker. Love it. Record dividends and my taxes on it are only 15%, unlike what you wage slaves pay on your "earnings". You whine, I rejoice. |
