Calm down children. Now the UN rates places to live etc? I would love to see that reference. But just my little tidbit of information, the United States in ranked 10th in the GDP scale of countries. Topped by Ireland, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Norway, United Arab Emirates, Equatorial Guinea, Luxemburg and Bermuda being #1. I believe earlier you precluded to live in the U.K. which ranks 28th on that list. Best thing to-do is get your facts before bragging. While the U.S. doesn't have the highest GDP we are up pretty high on the list, with the average person making $43,500 a year vs. the U.K. at $31,400.

Re: [hlds] [Fwd: [Fwd: NO GAS ON 15TH]]
Hahaha! Sorry Ed, I though you were one of the older members of this list? Were you just trying to pull my leg, or am I confusing you with someone else? I Really didn't want to add any more crap to this thread, but such ignorance, being for real of for fun, can't go unanswered. I'd hereby like to inform all Americans that they do NOT live in the richest nation in the world. The US is NOT the best country to live in. The rest of the world does NOT look to America as the land of milk and honey (and cheap gas). I do NOT envy you, your country or your lifestyle. Ok, got it? To continue: I live in a country where we have MORE than the average American, so don't think for a second I am looking to you, envying your riches and hating you for your wealth being "handed to you", as you say. As a matter of fact, my country was rated by the UN as the best country to live in for the 7th time in a row last year. I'm not complaining. What I _am_ complaining about is people complaining about things that really aren't worth complaining about. Such as gas prices that are still so low that they have just recently broken half the price of most European countries. Including oil-producing and -exporting nations such as my own. If you want to complain, I am sure there's a bunch of worthy campaigns you may sign up for. But complaining about gas-prices? And at the same time flaunting your Pontiac and gas-guzzling habits? Please, give me a break! Oh, and I've spent a full year in your country. To be more specific, I stayed in one of the richest areas: Right north of Palm Beach. And I was not impressed. Especially by the kid that felt sorry for me when I had to go home to my country where we evidently didn't have color TVs or microwaves - riches that only Americans know what are. Guess that illusion is still true in some Americans even today ;) So get yourself a passport and do some travelling! Cheers, Einar P.S. This is my last post in this thread. Please send any response to me in private, or at the very least formulate it so that a private response may be given. Sorry to those that have had to endure.

Re: [hlds] [Fwd: [Fwd: NO GAS ON 15TH]]
Here in Russia we pay 0.8$ per litre which is too much for oil exporter in my opinion. It was only 0.25$ just five years ago when oil price was far more reasonable. Ironic.

They know that you will be driving your ass up to the gas station the following day because you need a fill up after stretching it beyond the 15th.

Yeah there are people that dumb unfortunately. Gas companies do not look at weekly or monthly reports much less daily reports. They are only worried about quarterly reports. That would be every 3-4 months. But I don't think if you needed gas to go get food or go to work you would last a day much less 3-4 months.

This is so dumb. Do you honestly think that it makes a difference to the oil companies which day they sell it on? We also regularly buy gas once a week so what's the difference? I can't believe that there is such naive people still around.

--- Begin Message --- --- Begin Message --- Now you know that everybody will probably follow this direction, but they will buy gas on the 14th & 16th. Want to send a real message to them? Don't buy it for a week, surely most people can go a week on 1 tank. Lets give it a try. It did work. It did work in 1997. Please send to all on your list. NO GAS...On May 15th 2007 Don't pump gas on may 15th ...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight. On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places. There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up. If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000, 000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day. If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldn't) resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th" ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. --- End Message --- --- End Message --- Scanned: No virus found- outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
