2nd or 3rd largest exporter of oil.

a country only slightly more important than finland.
A country no one can find on the map because no one cares about people who eat santas budies.

Is that the country shaped like a noodle?

hey don't credit those norse bastages with my countries culinary treats:
When people first started eating lutefisk is controversial. Some enthusiasts claim the tradition goes back to the age of Vikings, other and contrasting views claim that the meal has 16th century Dutch origins. Despite this, it is somewhat commonly agreed that the first written mention of the phenomenon "lutefisk" traces back to a letter from Swedish king Gustav I in 1540, and the first written description of the preparation process is in Swedish archbishop Olaus Magnus's (1490–1557) personal writings from 1555.

"NORWAY, TEXAS. Norway was a farm community on the Texas-Mexican Railway five miles southwest of Benavides in central Duval County. It was probably named for its proximity to the community of Sweden, and was founded before 1947, when it had an estimated population of twenty. By the late 1960s Norway was no longer shown on maps of the area." :)

They can stand in ice water up passed their bellybutton and not even shiver.

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.

Rinker is a nice boat, I made a trip from San Diego to Panama in a 28 Ranger back in the 70's. You will need to suck up whats left of that oil, that rinker gets bad mileage :lol

Most people here think its a good thing that the money follows the politics we belive in. To say one thing and do the oposite would be a double-standard. There are plenty of investment oportunities out there.

NATO Stavanger, Norway
NATO’s new Joint Warfare Centre (JWC), which comes under the command of Allied Command of Transformation (ACT) in Norfolk, USA. This Centre is one of the major tools for ACT to develop new joint concepts for NATO.

You'll have to take that up with NATO. Personally with the fall of the Soviet Union I don't see any need for the US to defend western Europe. But if I where you, I'd keep a close eye on Germany. They got a tunnel under the channel now.

good point.. all they have to do is go through France and thats not been a problem.
-
we need a "exit strategy" for germany, 60 years is long enough for the US to occupy a country.
bring our boys home!

we are only there for the beer.
