As protest to the war lets all stop buying and using oil products. Any up for it?

That would be almost impossible to do. Boycotting oil products would involve more than just boycotting gasoline and other petroleum-based fuels. After all, plastic is made from petroleum, and many of the things that we use and take for granted are made with plastic. For example, many of the foods we buy come in plastic containers. Would you be willing to limit your food options by boycotting those food products, as well?As protest to the war lets all stop buying and using oil products. Any up for it?
No, I'm not willing to give up electricity, transportation and everything plastic. We would have to live like cavemen. But I will not buy gas from Citgo. That money goes directly to the terrorists.As protest to the war lets all stop buying and using oil products. Any up for it?
The troops are there because of oil. If we boycott oil products, how is that supporting the troops??
sure! if you can pick me up in a non-gas vehicle or pay for my new electric car.
So...how do you like your answers? Did you get the reaction you'd hoped for? Was it your intent to show Americans as being selfish and self absorbed?





Its great to have principles, as long as you are not inconvenienced.
Good idea





That would free up the oil need for Bush to give to North Korea.





Yesterday he promised Korea that he (America) would give North Korea all the oil they needed to make electricity.





Go big Red Go
Well, since this war isn't about oil, this would be absolutely pointless. All this is going to do is hurt our oil companies. But will in no way change the course of the war.
I'll second that motion!!
how about a color revolution
You know that if it was possible to do this it would be a great idea, it would send a message to everyone that is involved, the president his staff, the middle east. Venezuela, just everyone. It is one of those ideas that looks good on paper, the only trouble is to get enough people to go along with it. We are so reliant on the big oil company's that we will pay over $3 a gallon, then I would say that we could not organize this on a scale that would have impact. People have to heat, need transportation, ect. to survive. I am with you in principle, however I think there are better ways, without hurting our economy. Drive less, make every trip count. Slow down, the speed limit or below. Turn down our thermastat. ect. ect. ect. in other words do our best to conserve as much energy as we can.
YES! Accepting this as an inevitability will point us in the direction of alternate fuel sources!
I cut way back 20 years ago. Glad to see the rest of you are growing enlightened.
As a protest of war.


Give up oil.


???


Do you have rocks in your head?
Sure, I'll gladly become an unemployed, homeless, street person to protest the war -- NOT!
Don't know about you, but I am not walking or hitchhiking to work. Sorry.
I guess I'll ride on your back to school and to go shopping and pay





bills.... sorry we need a better idea.........





I can go alternative power but as for transportation hybrid sorry





I need a car........
It's not possible. Virtually any product you buy had oil involved. Whether it was the truck that brought your food to the grocery store, the oil you might heat your home with, or the petroleum products that are used to make plastics that you use every day... oil use is unavoidable.
First of all, as someone who is in the Army, the troops would not appreciate you trying to end the war. We want to win this so that we all dont have to come back later to finish it whent he US is attacked again. Showing support for your troops does not mean boycotting the war, it means getting us the funding for what we need to finish the job.





Second, are you aware that the majority fo the value of the US dollar is based on the fact that oil is traded in dollars and therefore there is a worldwide demand for the currency. If everyone stopped buying oil in America it could destroy our economy. Please study some economics before deciding to do things which are going to hurt your country and most importantly you! If you want to rpotest the war than protest it, petition against it, march in the streets whatever, but dont stop me from doing my job and dont cut funding to the military because I am the one out here who doesnt get to shower when the democrats decide to cut funding like they did it Vietnam.
Yes...we should all protest...tell them to shove their oil up their asss. I own a truck and haven't driven it for weeks....I ride my bicycle everywhere.
Curtail your use of oil products for several reasons. The revenue from oil goes into the pockets of those that despise us and helps to fund jihad. Using oil fouls the environment. Conserving on oil puts money in your pocket and allows you to spend it on more important things.





The point is, cut back on your use of oil!
