    Are you seriously justifying it on the basis of a percentage?

    It's illegal! And your math is pretty goofy too. 0.5% is 815 million dollars.

    Conclusion: You are insane.

    and I'm not a sex offender because only .5% of the women I sleep with are under 15.

    It's called a strict liability offense.

    Your usual.

    Is the math wrong?

    Egads, Halliburton is grotesquely profiting from these "illegal" sales....

    Likewise.

    The relative worth of the sales notwithstanding, we are talking about selling the iranians devices that can be used for nuclear weapons.

    Hello McFly?!?

    and Iran can recycle the aluminum in the cans to build centrifuges, therefore Coca Cola is supplying the Iranians the materials to build a bomb!!!!

    Point taken. I'm new to posting on the forum (99% of the time I lurk to read all the happenings with the Rockets of course), and it caught me off guard that there could be people roaming around out there this incredibly stupid. I mean, this is a Jim Jones, drink the Kool-Aid level of idiocy. I might be inclined to believe that this "NewYorker" is just doing it for the sake of rabble-rousing.

    Don't worry about it. NewYorker has made a career here posting on different topics just stir things up for his amusement. He'll make several posts in a thread about China, for example, highly critical of her policies, then make several posts in another thread taking the opposing view. NewYorker's a running joke here.
