TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

update: It turns out that my friend had left the rig the day before yesterday when the relief rotation arrived. So he wasn't there for the explosion. Also, everyone that was on the rig is safe and accounted for.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

While I'm quite pleased you could enlighten us on this, I do think this may verge on KYFMS territory, but I tend to be a shifty eyed paranoia freak when it comes to that.

Nah, I didn't divulge any of the details that might get me reprimanded. I'm pretty conscious of what my boundaries are in this job, and I adhere to them rigidly.

It is fun to dance around the edges, though.

also, in this case, since the information has nothing to do with my job a reprimand is all it would earn me.

It couldn't be planned for because it had literally NEVER happened before. There was no human error or lapses in maintenance or manufacturing defects involved. And the people that died in the explosion did so because once they realized what was happening, they had to make a choice between getting themselves out right then and there or taking a few seconds to warn the rest of the rig's crew and try to stop the explosion from spreading any further. Everyone that survived on Deepwater Horizon owes their lives to the people who died, quite literally.

This is pretty much what I've always thought of the DH thing (though without any evidence or insider information) - that it was Black Swan territory, and all the bullshit bad luck lined up and gave everyone one hefty kick in the pants.

Good to hear your friend is okay, dude.
