1. What is "unnecessary"? 2. What is "ill repute"? 3. What is "destined"? 4. Wait, we break down the trade barriers, so we can buy out the uranium from dinky banana republics at a cheaper price (because that's an 'international issue') but if that nation's nuclear facilities blow clouds of radiological ash across their neighbors with said uranium (that's a 'domestic' issue)!? 5. The Prime Minister who oversaw CANDU nuclear reactors being turned into an Indian nuclear arsenal is going to preach free trade now, really? 6. What country can afford nuclear technology, but can't afford to pay tarriffs.. to.. I dunno, support the environment in said nation? AGAINST. Edited by unibot, Mar 9 2015, 08:50 AM.

For. Obviously people are missing the point to this resolution. It is a blocker designed to prevent the banning of the production of nuclear weapons.
A nuclear weapon IS a nuclear reactor. I am guessing you are excising delegate prerogative on this one, since CD was for, and you are against, and yet you are still voting against in the WA? Edited by Chester Pearson, Mar 9 2015, 05:36 PM.

In the event that there is a tie, the delegate is the tiebreaker. That's my rule. |

That seems rather tenuous. Most people would not use or understand the term "nuclear reactor" in that way. |

I'm gonna go along with the Delegate on this one and vote NAY. However, please don't count my vote if it's the deciding vote. |

But it is a scientific fact. It is not up to me to determine how the resolution is "interpreted" now is it? |

I'm not an expert on nuclear power or weapons, but when the Wikipedia page on "nuclear reactor" doesn't mention nuclear weapons as containing nuclear reactors, I'd think you're on shaky ground with that interpretation. Nukes might have nuclear reactions but they're not intended to create and control a sustained nuclear reaction (wikipedia definition of nuclear reactors). |

Without a sustained nuclear reaction they fizzle and do not produce the intended yield. Come on man, this is physics 101. |

I am guessing you didn't actually write that, and someone hacked your account right? |

A tie vote wouldn't really make my vote the deciding one, would it? |
