If everybody had survived the tsunami by running away then the tsunami wouldn’t be a big deal either. ---

Yes, that is a strawman. I see your straw man and raise you. Haha OK I made myself laugh 😃 ---

It would be a gigantic deal to have tens of thousands of people running at world-record speeds for 10 minutes in a crowded area. That would mean they had superpowers and those only came after the nuclear shit. > [@FXMastermind](#): > > Yes, that is a strawman. > > I see your straw man and raise you. > > Haha > > OK I made myself laugh > > 😃 Yeah, what a gigantic strawman to ask for a body-count in a disaster. ---

No, many disasters that are horrific and costly do not involve any injuries or loss of life. Flooding for example. To only look at deaths is ridiculous and any sane person knows this. ---

Only the nuclear dipshit is somehow able to demand deaths as some sort of argument that nuclear power is safe. It’s been happening since day one. Even the people who are sick with radiation poisoning are not considered really sick. Because they are not dead. It’s straw man of the worst kind. ---

Okay, how many radiation injuries have there been? ---

The discovery of a pipe with levels exceeding the measuring devices (10 Sv/hr) was done with workers only receiving 4 mSv in their brief exposure. If they had stayed a minute and a half they would have exceeded the maximum dose of 250mSv. The pipes are what the reactors vent through, and this is the highest confirmed reading exceeding the 4 Sv readings from inside reactor 1 building. As rubble is cleared and radioactive material exposed they are finding more and more material of a very dangerous nature outside the reactors. Unless they are idiots nobody should die from this, as they are careful about staying the fuck away from the material. According to the nuclear shitheads this means 10 Sv is no big deal. Because nobody died. Logic motherfucker, learn to use it. ---

Just like a measurement of 1.13 mSv/hr is an area means you will die in less than a year if you stay near it. You will get sick long before that. Even worse if you ingest cesium in milk or food. Internal damage is far worse than external. The true nuclear moonbat still can’t grasp this. ---

I can’t help but notice that you’re no longer quoting people and your posts aren’t so much “replies” as just generic mini-rants thrown out for general consumption. ---

Note the title of the thread. Rantings and other crap. If there was a serious scientific topic about Fukushima I would be posting in it. But we all know there isn’t one. ---

Maybe it’s the radiation getting to his brain. The tinfoil acts as a focusing mechanism, you see. ---

> [@Frank](#): > > I’ve become idly curious. Can you read Japanese? I don’t believe that he can. And even if he can, the fact is that he’s just trolling by posting unexplained links to Japanese-language articles. The rules clearly state that the language of this board is English, and that the only exceptions to this are things like “requests for help with translation, explanation of foreign language words or expressions, foreign words or phrases that have come into English, etc.” I’ve reported the asshole. Maybe the mods will close this thread too, because it’s become nothing but a troll-blog for the amusement of a half-wit. ---

Keep in mind that machine translation currently isn’t as accurate as actual human translation. So Google Chrome’s translation feature can probably help you understand the gist of a page and individual words. **But it probably can’t help you with poetry or pages that contain complex grammar or technical vocabulary.** My bolding. ---
