Why would I wish for such a thing? What a horrible thing to suggest.
A safe bet considering your sources.

Who knew racists would force themselves into things they hate. Sounds just like South Africa, the way Reagan liked it, now doesn't it?

I simply said that immigration apparently restricts minorities from naturalizing and racist Norwegian neighbors may not accept these undesirables. Pretend to believe that pale white Norwegians are "accepting" of minorities though. The statistics seem to suggest otherwise.
Apparently? Quote your source and we may have something to talk about.

Or Zimbabwe when the evil white farmers' land was confiscated, partitioned, and given to the poor. I heard it worked well for them, made everyone a multi-billionaire.
The article is hogwash. The writer has no clue what he's talking about.
Our rigs are as safe as any other country's rigs, and they must comply with some of the most restirctive regulations anywhere (one reason why it is so expensive to drill here).
Can you name any regulations tha Haliburton has lobbied a Democrat controlled congress to relax (and it would not likely be Haliburton anyway, but an oil company — Haliburton is an oil services company; they build and install equipment.)
We have no history of spills from rigs, and certainly no rigs blowing up mysteriously. This is the first time I can remember anything like this happening, and I was involved with a company serving the offshore drilling industry from 1976 until 1986.
Why is it that "nationalization" always seems to be the suggestion these days. Do you know what that is? It is stealing. Theft. Stealing what belongs to others (the business owners). And it would not be a solution, either, because we know that private industry can provide what we need at a lower cost and more efficiently than government. Further, private industry has the incentive to develope technology to get at the oil. Government does not. If we were to steal the oil companies from the owners, advancement in technology would suffer. Prices would rise greately.

A lot of cluelessness. Norway is whitey territory and morons believe it's not racist simply because they have a socialist economic policy.
Lol, yes, cause you seem to be such an expert. May I ask where you live and come from? (Country)
I'll let you have a guess on where I live and grew up.

We have Gypsies (Who doesn't want to be part of regular society), black and Hispanics (in low numbers).
But it goes without saying, that most of our immigration won't be of Hispanic descent.
Oh, and of course, us racist Norwegians just partially opened our border to Russia in the north, allowing a great number of poor Russians freely cross the border. But you know, that's probably because they're white, right?

Where's your source for these allegations?
We are in no way the best guys in the game, when it comes to immigration rules etc, but we're far from the worst.
I'm not entirely sure what your sources are, but you ought to think twice about them.
Don't worry, the government here is already looking to put govt in the driver seat of energy production with the crap and trade bill. And the crooks like Al Gore and company are already in like to make billions off the American suckers that support it.
Watch fuel prices skyrocket (I haven't been able to afford heating oil for that last two or three winters — so, we are cold in the winter), as well as electric rates and really just about everything we as consumers buy; because just about everything depends on oil, either in the manufacturing of goods, or delivery (transportation costs). We won't even be able to afford to eat.
That is the sad fact, folks. So, go ahead and demand nationalization. If that happens, we're "dead meat".
Op wants to add to the cost of getting oil;that is basically what he is saying. We can surely do it safer but that would mean gas pirces have to go up to pay for it. Can't have it both ways without the money going to more profitable things.We could immediately go to euoprean prices and funnel that moneyy into offshore oil safety.$6.00 a gallon could translate into alot of safety but I don't know how much.The thing tho would to make sure our governamnt doesn't spend it elsewhere because they would try.
maybe we shouldn't and deport those in favor of it to Norway instead. Works for me
Works for me too!!
Tell me what papers I need to fill out.
Their unemployment is 3%, they have universal health care, and they have one of the highest standards of living.
