  The person behind Abe looks as if he is impregnating him!

  This headline made me chuckle. You have to be kidding me right? What an absolute joke.

  Yuri your country is doomed. Suck it up princess. I live here and take the best out of this country but I learned as a foreigner its futile to even suggest what you think because our opinion does not matter. I'l just sit back and watch you sheep jump off the cliff one by one and eat my popcorn because as someone just stated, its best to have your eggs in multiple baskets in this country and abroad.

  Excellent story. I had a similar experience with an old man in Kyoto a few months ago. Smiling can open doors your life you would have never thought existed and simple morning greetings can make all the difference to someone's day.

  Chances are it won't kill you but it will make you really sick for at least three days to a week.

  Absolutely appalling. Wasting tax payers money on futile attempts to keep the children safe by gargling water and washing their hands.

  Useless... I say a janken tournament or that Jenga game to settle. Or better yet, AKB48 naked in a shallow pool of jelly versus a Chinese team of models. They would have to eat the jelly off... ok I'm just glad it's Friday.

  What a legend! Props to this guy. I was in Osaka in a high rise building and we were swaying very slowly almost like we were on a boat. I immediately thought it must be Kobe again and then found out it was Tohoku.

  Ripping off the flag is childish however I believe it's a fundamental rule that flying a country's flag in another country especially when the country has not apoligised for past occurrences, is just plain rude. Perhaps have the Chinese flag above it just to show some respect that you are in their country. We had an instance back home in Aus where a German-Australian would only fly a German flag on his porch which was situated next to a WW2 cemetery. In the end he put up the Aus flag above the German flag and even the war vets were happy. Of course this is a bunch of hyperactive apes protesting and doing things without thinking hampering any potential progress for solidification of stability between the two countries.

  I'm sure if they had have fled then Japan would be doomed. They should release ALL the footage unedited as Naoto Kan openly suggested.

  Yesterday evening there was a shallow "low scale 5" earthquake measured right next to Fukushima plant yet the JMA have released data claiming that the immediate surrounding areas were shindo scale 1-2 earthquakes including the location of the Daichi power plant. They continuously lie to the people.

  Check the link below.

  Yubaru , Japan have already come out and openly stated that they sought the extradition of Watson after consulting Germany so he had good reason to fear it.. Don't like Watson at all but I don't like the way countries can extradite people from other countries do easily either.

  Robert RooAUG. 01, 2012 - 03:22PM JST Maybe they found a loophole, but that's STILL WITHIN THE LAW. Change the law, close the loophole, and see if Watson finally goes away. Exactly what they should have done at the iwf then they could have stopped all this nonsence from the start but for some reason they will not? Japan should have more honour than to exploit an obvious loophole anyways.

  Precisely. Japan found a loophole but they are still operating within the law. Sea shepherd need to resort to diplomatic measures before galavanting around throwing rancid butter and the like. I'm not for whaling nor am I against it but at least (when not inside the Australian EEZ) Japan is still operating inside the law.

  Cletus It appears that your priorities are completely messed up. The reason why I mentioned the coast line sea wall is because another poster mentioned about "foresight" and how the operators of TEPCO failed to see that. Then, my response was, what about the residents of the coast line? Did they not have the "foresight" to prevent a tsunami disaster? If so, it appears that they took it lightly just as TEPCO did. But the difference here is that residents along the coast line will result in IMMEDIATE fatality as shown throughout history, while the NPP does not as you mentioned evacuation, image, and cleanup. So by simple logic, shouldn't the former have HIGHER standards than that of the latter?

  >

  I think what Cletus is saying might not be so much referring to immediate fatalities (which will happen regardless) I think he is referring to the release of more strontium 90 and cesium into the atmosphere close to Tokyo, a city with over 13 million inhabitants (not including Yokohama and surrounds).

  I think Japan can and should have some nuclear plants, but this Hamaoka plant and the Oi plant in Fukui sit on top of fault lines and should be decommissioned immediately.

  There should be no evacuation, image and clean up regarding a the NNP in Hamaoka because it shouldn't even exist in the first place.

  @ VicMOsaka,

  You're hella off topic but...The Tohuku earthquake had an epicenter which was not only 32 km deep, but was situated approximately 70 km off the coast in the ocean. 70 km is quite a fair way offshore and many buildings DID actually receive damage from the quakes. As a qualified builder I can also testify that many houses built after 1997 here are an extremely earthquake resistant masterpiece thanks to the stringent Japanese building standards made law after the Kobe quake, therefore not every building will crumble like in Christchurch, New Zealand. Think about it... Epicenter is 9 and in the immediate 20 km area after, magnitude 8.5 gradually reducing to around a 7 off the nearest coast in Fukushima.

  Back on topic, unfortunately money is more of a concern for the politicians to take notice of the seismologists claims, and the general public too mild to uprise and take action to protest against such decisions.
