Re: Solving World Hunger with the System i and maybe helpingtheplatform

I understand your point.

The small difference is that my list is companies that use System i - it
started here as an idea for a list of companies to show students that System
i is everywhere, and I extended the idea to my own current list. While the
title of this thread has not changed, my list is more about the "helping the
platform" part, rather than the world hunger.

Still working on it!

I understand your personal concern, but based on a single religious or state
issue, should I not put a company on a list of companies who use System i?

Couldn't I say this is a lot like "guns don't kill people....."?

The issue is not just that bulldozers are being used to demolish homes
but that Caterpillar sell militarised ones to Israel for the purpose.
I agree with David and think that any discussion of the political and
moral nature of this should be confined to CPF0000. I'm simply
pointing out that including this company in the "Solving World Hunger"
category does have the potential to have the opposite effect from the
one you intend, especially as there is an active campaign against them
at the moment.
