Originally posted by geroin "Volatile was describing the region, not the disaster. Regardless it has numerous meanings, not limited to finances." yes it does have many meanings but if you're using it as a "risk measurement" (ie. volatile region) it is wrong. There are tons of other ways to produce alternative fuel/energy. In fact the only reason the nuclear technology/energy is still in place in many countries is because of the real nuclear attack threat. The technology that is used in power plants today resembles the military production almost to a tee, this is the reason why US is against Iran gaining access to the technology and building theirs even though it seems like they are doing it for "Energy" reasons. Obviously i cannot say that everyone will be harmed but there is a always probability and that is enough concern for me. With so much money being invested into nuclear technology the same could be used for something else but it's not going to happen just like us using gas to drive, it's all business/money/politics.

But what alternatives are you speaking of? Wind or Solar? Ethanol? None of those are realistic alternatives to fossil fuels. They're not cost effective, with the amount of energy they produce not even coming close to the amount produced through fission. There's probability of harm with a lot of things. To me, people being afraid of nuclear disasters is like people being afraid of their plane crashing.

As for the volatile thing, if anything what I said is supporting your arguments about this disaster specifically. When I say it's a volatile region, what I meant is that the probability of damage/destruction due to earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. is high.

now is there 50 in total or 50 in 50 out?


they work in shifts no?

The last number I heard last night was 180 that were being cycled in shifts.

There are many like i said but one really good one would be Hydrogen as it could be obtained through water, although there is tons of research still being done in that field there should be more investments made to improve that technology. Or even technologies like Bloom Box but on a massive scale: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/...the-home-video/

Hydrogen is also incredibly combustible. I'm not saying you're wrong and it's not a viable resource, but I'm just trying to point out that there are risks and dangers with pretty much anything. Why not spend that money to improve on an already useful and relatively environmentally friendly technology.

Ideally fusion would be the way to go, but I think that's a long way from being realistic.

check this out and decide for yourself:




PS. yes it is combustive, that's the reason we use it as gas/fuel/energy lol
the reason i used these 2 examples as they are least damaging to the environment.

If we really look harder you will begin to see that there are other alternative technologies out there it is just that the oil/nuclear corporations will not allow such technologies to go too far.

some examples:



SEG energy:



I'm not suggesting that we should drop the technologies that we posses today, I'm however suggesting that there could be other safer cleaner technologies out there but because of the total control of the big oil and nuclear industries we?ll never see any of them in action.

No it was just 50 guys. I imagine they were splitting shifts amongst themselves...

I did actually just read that another 150 have been sent in to help...

Those explosions at the plant were actually hydrogen explosions..

As opposed to what exactly? Working in a convenience store and racing camels on the weekends? You're probably just bitter because you have no friends to go out with every weekend












Also your parents still don't like you.

wait wait you of all people talking about having friends? LOL Dont you post like 24/7 on this board and reply to every damn thread? Dont worry though Russell you can alway come to the Guv and get cracked out with VDub.

working link..

I post a lot while I'm at work, yes. "Work" in this context is what "we" do when we've graduated from college and possess the skills to obtain a "job." I know it's hard for you to imagine working somewhere that involves computers, and not just a counter and cash register, but maybe someday you'll get there.



Probably not though. Which brings me back to my original point that your parents are ashamed of you.

Originally posted by geroin working link..

wow Did is exactly what I'm talking about. There are many other technologies out there that barely anyone knows about. I'm hoping that after the disaster in Japan we start looking into them alot more serioulsy.

wow you really do reply to everything as someone already said on this thread.. what a door knob.

For my SF homie and for Japan ... SHORYUKEN!

Yup, I reply to retards when they make idiotic claims that deserve to be called out. (I'm talking about you in case you didn't figure it out). I'm really sorry that your parents brought you to this side of the world for a better life, you failed them, and now whither away in self-pity and jealousy at anyone else who has had any kind of success with their lives, or anybody who is happy and having fun with their lives in addition to that, but there really is no need to be so fucking stupid all the time. I mean, come on, you're going to have to take a look in a mirror someday and realize what a waste on this world's resources you are.








Just remember, no matter what anybody else says, including myself...you are a failure and your parents wish they had a girl.

I'm going to head out to the bars now with something called "friends." We're going to have what's called "fun", so please enjoy your night of assuredly doing nothing but continuing your pathetic and empty life by yourself, and I'm sure I'll come home to some more blathering nonsense from you later



I know you might think it's a joke, but your parents really are disappointed in you no matter what they say

Huh? Are you high again Russell?

TOKYO�Military search teams pulled a young man from a crushed house Saturday, eight days after an earthquake and tsunami wrecked northeast Japan.

The young man, found in the rubble in Kesennuma city, was too weak to talk and was immediately transferred to a nearby hospital, said a military official. The official, who declined to give his name because he was not authorized to speak to the media, had no other details.

Kyodo, the Japanese news agency, said the man was in his 20s.

The rescue is the latest and one of the few after the March 11 disaster, as the power of the tsunami, triggered by the magnitude-9 earthquake, likely pulled many people out to sea.

The National Police Agency raised the death toll Saturday, reporting that 7,197 people had died � exceeding the deaths from the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Another 10,905 were reported missing, the police agency said.

I just got word that my dad was in japan during one of the quakes and said it was incredible. He was on a stop over before going to the Philippines. I'm waiting on more information but there were a lot of exclamation marks are his 'WOW'.

Hardcore loser does work with computers...

He just wears a gay blue shirt and khakis at work...

Would you like the extended warranty with that??
