I was talking about the decision they made not to invest in companies who have anything to do with building nukes.

How can that be considered brave? If anything it's just a naive, idealistic, unrealistic and hypocritical ( word of the week).

Why don't they take the idea a little further and stop all oil sales to any nation that has anything to do with nuclear weapons? Hey, they could even refuse to do any business with any nation that has anything to do with nuclear weapons. That might be considered alittle more worthy of some sort of bravery.

Istead they come up with this hypocritical half-measure and want to feel like they are taking some kind of realistic actions to back up their ideals concerning nukes.

And the funny part is that Lada thinks it's brave! :lol

Ok, they can stand in ice water and beat their chests to show their bravery. But who really gives a s**t what they do in Norway? Actually I think I'll go melt the ice cubes in protest...

Want to do something really brave?  Guarantee the security of Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Taiwan.  

If you are willing to do that, the US could actually reduce some of it’s nuclear weapons.

coz they said. "Money are not on the first place" and they have done what they have said. In fact that those companies were doing well in recent years, i consider those who made that decision a "brave".

Less money in nuclear programs.... its greate, you should be happy. I trough that its most honest universal effort of US :p

Well US meaning of "Guarantee security" means this = hey come one buy our outdated useless military crap and we will keep barking for you.
If you dont want to buy our overpriced crap, we will liberate you.
Ohhh... you are not 3rd world country... ummm sorry we wont liberate you, its too expensive for us.


Btw i didnt get, why should SA need sutch a guarantee ?
I can imagine that Saudi family want guarantee, that US will never complain about their feudalism.... but security ?

On another note (let's not leave this fire to die out...) Chirac announced yesterday that there will be a new (gen4) nuclear powerplant built in Rouen to lessen the dependency of oil.

Won't have to, coal is easily converted to oil. Anyway I'm in my mid 60's now and plan to suck up the rest of the oil recources before I check out. I have a 440 six pack 1969 cuda, a lincoln navigator, a 41 ft Hinkley Sloop, a 28ft. boston whaler twin 150 merc's and a 17 ft. custom skiff I use for inshore fishing for reds and snook. I use a Ford 250 duelie to pull the whaler and skiff.
