Waving your hands and complaining isn't going to help your argument. You said, "And you can thank petroleum for every one of those." So I pointed out the overt flaws in that example. Got another?
I have gone to shooting ranges on a number of occasions and by and large the customers are a mixture of mostly white men, a few black men and sometimes a woman or two, usually white but I have seen a couple of black women at ranges before. Cops are frequent customers because they have to practice their shooting. I don't think any of those people are going to stop coming if they had a NO MUSLIMS ALLOWED sign.

Petroleum does aid in the development of the areas you listed. I didn't say it was perfect. If I did, then your nonsense response would of had some merit.
I don't believe in this case it would be. How many Muslims currently patronize gun ranges? Prolly not many. But I think with the spread of radical Islam and the rash of recent beheadings, this wouldn't deter business from the usual customers. Actually I would think it would improve it.
The Exxon Valdez spill was the fault of a dumbass drunken boat captain who ran aground and dumped a ton of crude in to the sea. Wasn't due to Corporation Negligence. That's like blaming your next door neighbor for their grandmother plowing in to you on Main St. after one too many sherries.
My Dad had recently retired from Exxon at the time after working there for 41 years. Some guy knocked on the door one day and tried to get him to sign a petition to boycott Exxon gasoline. My Dad told him to get the hell off his property
My dad was an executive for and retired from Monsanto. Now he's with HP. Every 3-4 years we were being transferred to some new plant that was struggling, and he'd turn the place around. Then off to our next location. Growing up sucked having to be the new kid every few years.
Who hired the captain? Who paid the crew? Who owned the boat that had no double hull? Who screwed up the cleanup? Who was held responsible by the courts? Exxon. You have no case, counselor.
