Exactly, but if you don't know you don't need to, because you're not very well educated on radiation and stuff, and people start handing pills out saying you need them for your protection, you would think quite a few people would buy the idea.

it's just idiots being idiots as always

Even if the entire core got ejected into the atmosphere there is no way in hell that cloud is going all the way to finland or some other european place, people here are overreacting nothing more.

But yes I agree with you and emphasis on the "experts" part. Atleast half the people they invited had no idea of what the hell they were actually talking about.

no i mean even the so called experts.  even during 3 mile island the biggest complaint from the governor was that the "experts" were all wrong or had no correct info.

3 mile was way before I was around so I can't really judge media cover, most of the info from the national news over here has been more or less accurate so far, on BBC they had a couple good people as well (but quite a few idiots nonetheless). If I watch US news networks it's usually via the internet, so I wouldn't know about your coverage of the story - cept for some articles.

I don't know if anyone has posted it, but I have been reading this for updates on the nuclear plant situation there.

Edit: It's the MIT Nuclear Science and Engineering group.  They define a lot of the terms (both basic and technical) being thrown around with a greater degree of specificity than the mainstream news does.

Yeah I've been reading mitnse most of the time as well.

holy shit

Initial readings are "about a billion times beneath levels that would be health-threatening"

Holy shit?  Nah...

A "tip of the hat" to the Japanese people and their dignity, respect and sense of unity they display in their crisis. No rapes no murders, no looting. Compare their behavior to that of New Orleans, LA or any other crisis in any American example, none of which can compare to the triple blow dealt Japan of earthquake tsunami and nuclear crisis at the same time. People of New Orleans, LA, you should be ashamed, for you were a disgrace then and you are indeed a disgrace still.

fucking saggers

If you think there is a connection between saggers, and rapes, shooting  at emergency responders and looting, that is your observation.

I guess, do you want to explain exactly what you mean?

Im making fun of you

really? how so?

Instead of "making fun of me", how about you comment on the FACT that the Japanese people are carrying themselves through their crisis of flood earthquake and nuclear meltdowns, with far more dignity, respect for each other and poise, than the citizens of New Orleans during their flood or LA during their riots or quakes.

read a book lowing and stop playin retard

sorry ya feel that way, but if you have a book detailing the dignity and respect and unity, and the lack of looting rapes and gun fire in New Orleans during Katrina, I would love to read it. So, which book covering that topic should I read?
