AlterNet Japan Nuclear Disaster: Last Workers Reportedly Evacuated from Plant; White Steam Seen Over Reactor; Situation Upgraded to a 6 on 7-Point Nuclear Event Scale Japanese officials acknowledged for the first time that radiation released from damaged reactors was sufficient to be "harmful to human health." March 14, 2011 Japan stands poised on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe, even as the death toll from the massive earthquake and tsunami that devastated the island-nation continues to rise. Around 3,000 3,370 are confirmed dead and tens of thousands remain missing.

Those lazy Japs! Maybe since Mad Dog knows so FUCKING much being educated by WikiPaedia (based on his own admission) he can go over there and kick their asses for sitting down on the job and taking a saki break.
The Chernobyl victims keep rolling in as people in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus continue to die in cancer clusters and children are born with profound genetic defects. Chernobyl released 400 times the radioactive fallout of Hiroshima. This is what happens when you have routine human error at a nuclear power plant. (An interesting aside: due to all the hard work of those heroes who cleared the immediate area, the ecosystem around Pripyat and Chernobyl has bounced back remarkably. Wildlife has returned and some villages are even inhabitable. It’s a wonderful case study for people interested in how our ecosystem bounces back from human folly.) In sum: I know you may think nuclear power is comparatively clean and safe, but there is more to it than that. It’s non-renewable, intensely pollutive and very, very dangerous. We must look elsewhere for answers.
Exactly. Lets start by stopping human procreation for a generation. That will cool the need for new energy resources.

We certainly need to slow the exploding size of the Earth's human population to a halt, and even use natural mortality to reduce it's size. I fully agree with that. We have too many people on this planet to sustain reasonably. I recently watched "Soylent Green' and the thing I found most troubling was how much closer the world of 2011 is to that fictional horror of a place that seemed too unreal to believe could become reality when I first saw that movie decades ago.
I despise these politicized terms that emanated from the UN and have trickled on down to common usage. Whatever happened to the term, "high quality of life".... you see, the concepts have all been watered down to ambivalence about the seriousness of our over- breeding and no one [I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NO ONE] discusses the root cause of our situation.
The bottom banner on MSNBC TV said 4 of the 6 reactors are leaking. So much for Mad Dog the Baka's Pollyanna act concerning the unbreachible nature of the reactor vessels. He probably still thinks the Titanic as being unsinkable too.
IMO birthrates generally go down in the aftermath of unpopular wars which is one reason why the Vietnam model is no longer practiced. We need to maintain a high birthrate in order to assure a certain percentage of the population will be expendable as warriors to fight our more popular, religious ideology oriented wars to maintain "a global force for good".

. You are REALLY whining now you mouth breathing fat assed libTURD punta. Cry like the little punta that you are weasel gurl. Want to quote where I have said that the reactor vessels were "unbreachible" you LYING FOOL? You can't, because I never did. I said that, to that point in time, that the reactor vessel(s) had NOT been breached. But HEY that's what YOU do weasel gurl. When you get whipped like a rented mule with the truth, you just start LYING. You pitiful fuck.
Living in mouth breather's empty noggins 24/7/365 totally rent free!
You're all over the place, dude. Like someone who's driven by panic and ignorance rather than reality. Settle down, bongmeister, and stop blabbing all the crap you've heard.

Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?
