Is there anyway to stop the retarded news media from humping the iodine tablet story and panicking the lemmings out here in California. You're more likely to die in a car accident on the way to buy the pills then die of radiation poisoning. Oh-oh look out, it's going to rain this weekend, it'll be radiation rain.... SIGH...

The movie stars must have their iodine pills.

I was in downtown Tokyo at the Tokyo Station waiting to get on a bus when the earthquake happened. It is really freaky when everything that is supposed to be still is moving.

That whole situation is nothing short of mind boggling. A friend of mine owns a grocery store in San Jose, and was saying people there bought all of his potassium iodide. He was planning on donating all of it to rescue groups, but the paranoid idiots here bought it all. He said he won't get another shipment for two full weeks. Unbelievable some people are.

After watching The Real Housewives of Orange County that doesn't surprise me

I often think ignorance is even worse then stupidity. At least stupid people have some kind of excuse, as bad as that is.

It is amazing how the panicked lemmings react sometimes. If you stood in Starbucks with a friend and said out loud...

"I'm going to duct tape my windows and doors so the radioactive dust won't get inside and start wearing masks..."

There would be a run on duct tape and masks tomorrow and people would be tweeting that they were taping themselves inside. Stupidity is like a wildfire, it spreads quickly.

Just imagine how they would react if a real catastrophic emergency hit your area. All these people running around buying iodine, most likely don't even have a proper earthquake/survival/emergency kit, flashlights, etc.

Once the demon-bitch left my house and took her shit, I had a pretty empty closet downstairs. I converted it into a earthquake supplies kit. The Government says "3" days. I can go more than "3" months easy. (It's amazing what you can come up with when you're bored.)

Some good news at last about the nuclear reactor, bad news about the contaminated foof find though but takt the rough with the smooth

Another good news I´ve seen in German tv minutes ago : We can deliver cranes who got a veeery wide extension of about 160 feet. With them it´s possible to place the cooling-water for the reactors *exactly* to where it should be ...

And something else : The Japanese citizens are veeery proud, they dont ask for help too much. But they need help or they will die. Everything you can do ....they need food, warm clothing, medicine.

A long way to go, but it looks like they've climbed a mountain of accomplishment so far already.

Staggering and impressive. If that happened in California, there would not have been anything cleaned up in the same time frame.

There would still be looting, murder, and everything else you can think of going on. Sad truth.

Japan :clap:
