You attacked him aggressively. No need to be upset.
OT -Halliburton installed the shower/electrical equiptment in Army barracks in Iraq, that caused some soldiers to be electrocuted.
-Halliburton built some of the oil rig components on the Deepwater Horizon. We know about that.
-Halliburton bought a 300 million dollar oil clean up company DAYS before the oil spill.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
