I'm not grown up because I said your joke doesn't make sense?Gotcha.
Anyway, moving on from Chomper's joke being stupid, is there an updated number of dead/missing?

In his defense, "growing up" and being super serials is very lame.

Japanese death count is near 500.

this shows u who needs to grow up.
Originally posted by Mindsetits not butthurtness, its the trolling BS thats needs to stop. I dont WTF I did to u, my bad what ever happened. but any damn post I make no matter if its sarcasm or a joke or even a serious comment, u gotta start something every damn time.
You really need to get your butthurtness under control.Let's get back on topic.
id like to know why ?

He's not on a vendetta to troll the interwebz: he's pretty damn chill.
Yeah, I got a good laugh out of that pic. I, personally, think it's too soon to make jokes about it...but I am in NO way offended or upset about the jokes I'm seeing all over the place about the situation.
I don't think you need to grow up...but I don't think either of you does. He made a valid point that your comparison was apples to oranges. That's obvious. A better comparison would have been, "The Japanese are blaming the US for the Japanese quakes because the Haiti quakes were obviously done by an US quake weapon."
Same type of sarcasm, but it's apples to apples, at least. I'm just like you in that it's hard for me to admit where I've made a fault, but if it's obvious, just admit it and move on. You can't win them all, man.
And, yeah, Mindset is right: we should try to get back on topic or we'll get in trouble. I recomend taking your problems with Mindset to PMs.

Im worried about their nuclear plants, any news on them ?
Damn that would be all they need now, a double chernobyl going off on top of this.
This of course raises the question whether it´s a good idea building nuclear power plants near fault lines and known earthquake areas.

He´s a few posts up mentioned the "supermoon" idea, quite interesting.
Red Alert: Nuclear Meltdown at Quake-Damaged Japanese Plant
STRATFORA March 12 explosion at the earthquake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Okuma, Japan, appears to have caused a reactor meltdown.
The key piece of technology in a nuclear reactor is the control rods. Nuclear fuel generates neutrons; controlling the flow and production rate of these neutrons is what generates heat, and from the heat, electricity. Control rods absorb neutrons — the rods slide in and out of the fuel mass to regulate neutron emission, and with it, heat and electricity generation.
A meltdown occurs when the control rods fail to contain the neutron emission and the heat levels inside the reactor thus rise to a point that the fuel itself melts, generally temperatures in excess of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, causing uncontrolled radiation-generating reactions and making approaching the reactor incredibly hazardous. A meltdown does not necessarily mean a nuclear disaster. As long as the reactor core, which is specifically designed to contain high levels of heat, pressure and radiation, remains intact, the melted fuel can be dealt with. If the core breaches but the containment facility built around the core remains intact, the melted fuel can still be dealt with — typically entombed within specialized concrete — but the cost and difficulty of such containment increases exponentially.
However, the earthquake in Japan, in addition to damaging the ability of the control rods to regulate the fuel — and the reactor’s coolant system — appears to have damaged the containment facility, and the explosion almost certainly did. There have been reports of “white smoke,” perhaps burning concrete, coming from the scene of the explosion, indicating a containment breach and the almost certain escape of significant amounts of radiation.
At this point, events in Japan bear many similarities to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Reports indicate that up to 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) of the reactor fuel was exposed. The reactor fuel appears to have at least partially melted, and the subsequent explosion has shattered the walls and roof of the containment vessel — and likely the remaining useful parts of the control and coolant systems.
And so now the question is simple: Did the floor of the containment vessel crack? If not, the situation can still be salvaged by somehow re-containing the nuclear core. But if the floor has cracked, it is highly likely that the melting fuel will burn through the floor of the containment system and enter the ground. This has never happened before but has always been the nightmare scenario for a nuclear power event — in this scenario, containment goes from being merely dangerous, time consuming and expensive to nearly impossible.
Radiation exposure for the average individual is 620 millirems per year, split about evenly between manmade and natural sources. The firefighters who served at the Chernobyl plant were exposed to between 80,000 and 1.6 million millirems. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission estimates that exposure to 375,000 to 500,000 millirems would be sufficient to cause death within three months for half of those exposed. A 30-kilometer-radius (19 miles) no-go zone remains at Chernobyl to this day. Japan’s troubled reactor site is about 300 kilometers from Tokyo.
The latest report from the damaged power plant indicated that exposure rates outside the plant were at about 620 millirems per hour, though it is not clear whether that report came before or after the reactor’s containment structure exploded.
No, it's not the supermoon.
The pseudoscienceThe UK newspaper Daily Mail has a shameful article up asking if the Japan earthquake was caused by this "supermoon". While they do ask a geologist and an astronomer about it — and they both say it’s silly — the article spends quite a bit of its space whipping up fears that the gravity of the Moon will cause volcano eruptions and earthquakes.
I’ll note that the person who is making this claim, and who first called this effect a "supermoon", is an astrologer. Yeah. Let me be clear here as well: astrology doesn’t work. At all.
And that sort of thinking has failed here again. Study after study has shown that big earthquakes are not caused by the Moon, super or otherwise. It would make some sort of sense to think that maybe there is a connection, since the Moon pulls on the Earth, and the majority of earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates slipping past or under each other. However, you can look at the timing of earthquakes versus the distance (and phase) of the Moon, and at best there is a weak correlation between shallow, low intensity quakes and the Moon… and certainly none with major quakes.
Think about it: if there were some connection, and it were this obvious, geologists and seismologists would be issuing warnings every perigee and every full Moon. These are people who have devoted their lives to understanding how the Earth shakes, and would be screaming their heads off if it were something as easy and obvious as the Moon. They don’t because there’s no connection.
