    No, oil prices have plummetted in recent months Gian, haven't you been keeping up?

    And Fezzyboy, your lame insults are pathetic. You are nothing, after all...

      Oil prices are still 30% higher then they were a year ago, above $40/barrel. If we were really controlling the largest reserves in the world, don't you think they would be about $10/barrel? Guess you can't formulate your facts too well into an argument.

      You are the one who is nothing. You are insignificant just like the rest of us.

        if you think about it the problems with the world consist of ignorance egocentric behavior and the one mans belief that the world owes them the moon not to mention that every coin has two sides if u dont have poor people rich peple woudnt know they are rich and if you dont have sad people happy people woudnt know they are happy seems to me every aspect of life has a flipside
        When you find yourself arguing with an idiot, you might want to rethink who the idiot really is.

            OPEC doesn't control the market. The market moves itself. OPEC hasn't done anything. The mild winter in the US did. The mild winter brought demand down, bringing prices down. Learn the basics.

              It's very true in a way Mrs. Tuberski. The role model of the rich is thrust upon the population as a whole as been that of success. And thus the sexual imperative kicks in - everyone has to be that. It's an interesting method of control when you look at it. We need equibrium not wanton waste...

                    No, OPEC is tantamount to a cartel where there is finite supply in a market of ever-expanding demand. Learn the basics, especially those of economics, yourself and figure out what that means. The West wants to muscle in to protect it's own interests, and those lie with lowering the price of oil, whether that be by having control over the oilfields of Iraq or indirectly by controlling Afghanistan and the access that brings to oil in the former Soviet states...

                      OPEC has increased supply even when prices were going up. It shows OPEC cannot control market prices. Demand controls market prices. Learn economics and take basic courses. In the 70s, OPEC did have a stranglehold, but not right now. Besides, there are plenty of countries outside of OPEC that produce what they please. You are misinformed, and none less then a liar.

                              If you reduced poverty that would lead to a reduction in terrorism? That explains Osama Bin Laden doesn't it? If you get him out of poverty maybe he would stop being a terrorist.. wait a minute.. he has hundreds of millions.
                              Bin Laden isn't a terrorist, he's a manipulator. It is the people who he is seeking to recruit that are the poverty-striken easily coerced that, with more money, would be less likely to consider extreme politics.
