whoever comes up with an idea that ends up being successful, they should be paid 5 million dollars by BP. that is pocket change for them compared to how much this has cost them already.

they are probably getting inundated with 'suggestions' and it's an easy way to handle all the calls, just refer them to the website.

I agree. Even if you call the number they just send you a form anyway. They are humouring us.

How about we shoot Donna Simpson into the wellhead and cap it off? Unfortunately she'll probably die but at least she'll be a martyr for humanity... much better than going down in the history books as the world fattest mother... I dunno, just an idear....

While I do not agree with the business practices of BP... If they WEREN'T taking suggestions from the public, you would all be saying that they were idiots for NOT taking suggestions to fix the problem which is obviously out of their control to fix.

Re: PIN THIS!!!! BP IS NOW TAKING SUGGESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC!!!!
If you submit the solution and they do nothing then at least your hands are clean, but if you have the solution and do nothing the world dies a slow painful death and you become equally responsible by doing/saying nothing.

You don't see that this is merely an "inclusiveness" ploy, to "spread the guilt"?

BP fucks up.

BP offers to share the guilt by asking for public advice.

BP slides off the hook, by sharing the guilt. It becomes "collective guilt".

Good psychological business strategem.


But the public already shares the guilt due to their demand for cheap oil, so your theory is a FAIL!

Again, if someone has the solution and does/says nothing out of fear of "shared guilt" they are all the more guilty due to their inactivity.

Let's say that I have the solution to global warming or world peace and do nothing and because of my inactivity all of life dies...well, at least I didn't get sued? Is that the mentality? How sad! Is that the level of apathy we have obtained? Are we not still the stewards of this planet?
 Quoting: ApostleCitizen

Not a "theory" but a very reality-based observation regarding the useage of psychodistributive tactics in a business emergency.

Therefore, not a FAIL. And certainly not the hysteria you're engaging in.

BP has access to every university, private think-tank, and government on the face of the earth.

They also have megabucks to feed specialists/scientist/engineers of the very highest caliber.

Any appeal to the general public for their assistance with ideas is "throwing the dog a bone" to finesse the public into feeling a part of this disaster, into shared-guilt, nothing more.

Think about it.

No NUKE option.
It may rip the bottom apart, increase methane release or simply blow it up, or send all kinds of nasty stuff in the gulf that may increase the Gulf Coast surface temperature and then create mass tornadoes since the temperature of the Gulf plays a big part in tornadoes forming if the temperature is stabilized higher and never returns to normal, that would result in the gulf stream shifting and then the UK freezing and of course the Gulf being destroyed by pollution and constant bad weather.

That's the problem really. BP is asking for suggestions, yet they haven't really given us a clear picture of what they're working with. They should just show us the works and be done with it.

This is how i think the dinosaurs die out. Remember these dinosaurs are enormous, they must have lived on earth for a long time until the level of methane built up was at a critical point and all that was needed to stir the giant sea soda bottle is a couple of big dinos splashing and falling into the ocean to make it fizz and bubble. METHANE was probably the main cause of the dino extinction & not an asteroid impact as we were taught in schools.

Re: PIN THIS!!!! BP IS NOW TAKING SUGGESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC!!!!
public transportation...

hydrogen powered busses...lots more of them, more stopping points...

and/or give every family one car that runs on water...

scrap all of the oil cars..

design the busses to be able to hold groceries, have shopping cart holders at the bus stops..




my suggestion to stop the leak?


ask mama earth and God for an idea:)

ask our brothers and sisters from the cosmos...

but before they would help we would have to give up raping mama earth for oil, i bet....that would be my rule.

They had this link up two weeks ago.

I suggested they take all the execs and shove them into the pipe.


Actually I think our suggestion is that we demand ALL ELECTRIC
Autos first then work on trucks and rail electrics second.

Leave oil where it is...buried.

Re: PIN THIS!!!! BP IS NOW TAKING SUGGESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC!!!!
Pipe dimensions are irrelevant. They would need to plug it out anyway not putting duct tape on the broken pipe. They need to come up with a chemically produced liquid material that will be injected inside the well at large quantities and will gradually harden until it seals off completely the well.

BP is desperate and open to suggestions from the public! Now is your chance to help with this catastrophe.

Click on the link and look on the right side for the SUGGESTIONS LINK.

 Quoting: ApostleCitizen


try isolating the area over the leak .placing a iron meshing around the hole and ionising the water molecules with negative charged crystaline to propogate a spontaneouse freezing reaction. use nano technology to re program the dna of the atom nuclei of the water molecules with accelerated communication to become semi solid like slush which will soak up the gases and oil.
