You’re talking to yourself faster than to any of us, clearly. So out of 982 posts in this thread, you’ve got… what… 600? ETA: On examination, I see you have 419 posts in this thread. Bravo, Speedyfingers McStupid. ---

I asked quite a few posts ago, what credentials do you have to even remotely understand any of this? Do you believe everything you read? I don’t remotely trust random news stories in languages I can’t read. Why do you? The fact is, you haven’t brought anything to this thread that convinces me that nuclear is any more dangerous than I already knew it was. You have brought a wide assortment of stupid nuclear reporting, but I guess I should have expected that from the title. ---

[QUOTE=FXMastermind] Oh fucking christ, it’s a bunch of kids. That explains a lot. No wonder nobody comments on the stories linked to. You are teenagers. [/QUOTE] So, you figure that Bryan Ekers was a protege, joining when he was 8 or less?? 😛 (Yo, genius…did it occur to you to look at his join date?) Nobody has responded to your inane stories (even the ones that aren’t in Japanese) because you have lost all credibility with just about everyone on this message board, with the possible exception of folks like gonzomax…who isn’t exactly known to have high levels of credibility himself. Even if that weren’t the case (i.e. you have managed to lose credibility across the board), this thread was a joke pages ago…months ago. It’s your own stupidity and denseness that keeps bringing this train wreck back to life…over and over again, with your idiotic bumps inserting some new nugget of factoid (in Japanese half the time) that you think is going to recover your faulty logic and complete lack of knowledge on this subject. Instead, you are really just digging the hole deeper at this point in this thread. The only folks left still posting are doing so more in the ‘let’s pile on the moron and make him look even stupider’ way. I know you are a mouth breathing troll with the IQ of really stupid pocket lint, but if you actually want to discuss the subject you need to drop this thread and start a new one. Perhaps you will be able to get some posters who don’t know what a complete moron you are, and who will be willing to engage you on the subject and patiently explain to you why you are wrong…again. Or, just keep bumping this thread ever few days when you get the latest stunning factoid (in Japanese of course to REALLY make your point) that is just burning a hole in your retinas and you simply MUST post because this time, it’s for real! -XT ---

The venting system used to release pressure from the reactor is very radioactive at several spots, precluding access by human workers. … What nonsense. And trolling as well. The readings are NEW fucking readings. They didn’t just somehow miss radioactive gamma at deadly levels for the last four months. These are new readings, new radiation. You would know that if you bothered to read at all. It was in the second report I linked to about this. It even explained how it happened. That nobody knows this is pathetic. ---

Wouldn’t that indicate they released a lot of seriously dangerous radiation into the area and the air? How can that make you feel better. Five months after the meltdown, radiation is going up. ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > Wouldn’t that indicate they released a lot of seriously dangerous radiation into the area and the air? How can that make you feel better. Five months after the meltdown, radiation is going up. Yep, they vented building one through the stack, so they could get robots in to look at it. The residue from what they pumped out into the air is what is causing the hot spots. ---

[QUOTE=FinnAgain] From what I can tell based on Authentic Japanese Information, things are really bad there now. [/QUOTE] ARRRRGGGHHHH! The titles are all in Japanese.

Based on the post I just read from The Gonz in GD, I’d have to say that the retarded orangutan is going to be orders of magnitude brighter…even after it’s dead for 3 days and in the process of being devoured by a hungry though valiant Godzilla as a snack… -XT ---

Trolls talk about people. Scientists discuss reality. You know, facts and shit like that. Like the new findings from Fukushima that were just reported. Of course there is no sense posting a link, it’s obvious the trolls won’t read them. ---

They will even cry and bitch and get butthurt that they are in Japanese. Because damn them, they should publish in English first. Not make us wait for the translation. Trolls like to complain a lot. And insult people. A scientists finds that absurd. ---
