I read it.
You said "some oil comes from rocks". I want to make sure you read it and understand it.
So, does it get extracted from the rocks or separated from the rocks?

You're both missing the point.
Oil doesn't "come from rocks".
Oil gets trapped in shale, sometimes. But it isn't created from rocks.
" A fossil fuel, petroleum is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, mostly zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and subjected to both intense heat and pressure."

Maybe this should be the funniest fuckup: http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=1487657
It's pretty funny by itself, and even more, now that Warren has admitted to lying.

Some rocks are effectively solid oil e.g. pitch. They have to be heated to extract the oil.
You might have heard of coal? Oil can be extracted from coal, or you can just burn the coal.

Professor Ishmael explained "Oil is a renewable resource" back around 2008.
As you can see, nothing to do with rocks whatsoever.
- Oil is burned
- Carbon gasses go into the atmosphere
- Gasses coalesce, fall to earth and are absorbed into the subsoil
- Over time, they form pools of petroleum to be reused
As you can see, nothing to do with rocks whatsoever.
No, I fully understand.
I think I've heard of coal, asshole.
Coal was not the topic or what he was talking about.

Problem with trolling boxidiot is that he's so dumb he simply doesn't get that he's being trolled and never ever deviates from the shall we say "questionable" knowledge he has about anything. It makes it difficult to get any real satisfaction from it.

Oil shale, which is a kind of rock, is removed from the ground and treated and oil is produced. Hopefully, nobody will be pig-headed enough to deny that.

Remember that old song?
Oil Miner's Daughter?
Off to mine some shale.
I don't believe mining oil shale is considered romantic enough for people to write songs about it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_shale_industry
Mining[edit]
Oil shale is mined either by traditional underground mining or surface mining techniques. There are several mining methods available, but the common aim of all these methods is to fragment the oil shale deposits in order to enable the transport of shale fragments to a power plant or retorting facility. The main methods of surface mining are open pit mining and strip mining. An important method of sub-surface mining is the room-and-pillar method.[12] In this method, the material is extracted across a horizontal plane while leaving "pillars" of untouched material to support the roof. These pillars reduce the likelihood of a collapse. Oil shale can also be obtained as a by-product of coal mining.[1]
The largest oil shale mine in the world is the Estonia Mine, operated by Enefit Kaevandused.[13] In 2005, Estonia mined 14.8 million tonnes of oil shale.[11] During the same period, mining permits were issued for almost 24 million tonnes, with applications being received for mining an additional 26 million tonnes.[14] In 2008, the Estonian Parliament approved the "National Development Plan for the Use of Oil Shale 2008-2015", which limits the annual extraction of oil shale to 20 million tonnes.[15]

Rob, you've given me a gift this day. That's fucking amazing.
Unfortunately, I did already submit spearchucker, and at the time I didn't know that he stole this from Ish. So... now I don't know what to do. The submission is out there. I don't really want to withdraw it.

Yup and I pay the same amount of taxes as I did in the States. And I don't get charged for health care. What are your taxes paying for? You get to pay taxes and heath care! At least our taxes help society.
Remember this beauty:
Elizabeth Warren proves her ancestry; embarrasses shit out of Trump & Trumpsters
Proved her ancestry all right, to the point of admitting a few days back that she was white. In a matter of months she went from claiming she was a POC to actually being what she always was, a POS.
Trump and the Trumpsters, meanwhile, are still not embarrassed. The knucklehead who started the thread should be.
