You first. How exactly is being enthralled by mother nature and what it does to the earth and people holding us back as humans? It brings people together in ways that nothing else can do. It's fascinating and beautiful.

Just saying no thread over 20 pages here feels complete without that word

Figured I contribute first

Mothra nature?

Goshin 03-11-2011 13:21

can something really be good or evil robot?

Things just are. Blame humans for trying to label the nature of the thing.

BBC Live Update reports about the Tsunami hitting the US mainland:

Some reports from local US media of the tsunami's arrival on the US West Coast: Joe Vazquez from CBS5 tweets: "Second tsunami surge now hitting Santa Cruz. CBS5 reporting a dozen or so sunken boats. County spokesman says at least $2m damage." KGO Radio tweets: "Crescent City OES: All docks are gone after first surge, 35 boats crushed, water starting to fill harbor parking lot."

Japan is the world leader in robotics

We as a society focus on the only the negatives after a disaster like this.

How many are dead, how much was destroyed, how much will we have to spend to rebuild, etc. Too much emotion. Not enough journalism.

Don't tell me that 80,000 people COULD POTENTIALLY die. Tell me that 19 people are confirmed dead and what I should do to avoid that. Don't show me footage of waves destroying a neighborhood, show me what I can do to save my own life.

It's like the media takes whatever we're looking at and shows us the absolute most passionate interpretation of it for ratings. Calm, accurate information simply doesn't sell.

PS Godzilla always wins.

Santa cruz is relatively sheltered from the source

Japan's trade minister: Small radiation leak could occur at Nuclear plant.

The Pumpkin King 03-11-2011 13:26

The ground is still shaking on and off here 12 hours after the first quake. I have a feeling that this will continue for quite some time.

After seeing all the buildings hold up like they did though, one thing is for sure...

Japanese engineers are seriously underpaid.

LGBR 03-11-2011 13:27

PK has Okinawa been on the news at all there?

Haven't heard from my ex on Ishigaki yet.

Are we talking about people or the media?

Flyersfan 03-11-2011 13:27

No they aren't

Trickster 03-11-2011 13:28

So you finally made it to Japan? Hit me up, The Pumpkin King.

Usually 9ers set off other activity around the plate like other quakes and volcanoes

Part of me wants to argue that people follow the media like its gospel, and the other part of me wants to argue that media shows people what they want to see. It makes it difficult for me to determine who is more detrimental to the growth and success of humanity as a species.

Edit: Again, this is just my personal opinion.

no, im inland. behind the caldecott tunnels but i am watching the local news. my niece lives at Crescent City, going to Humbolt St and they are getting some harbor damage as well as Santa Cruz.

Flyersfan 03-11-2011 13:31

There have only been 5 of them recorded though so who knews

Monkey_b 03-11-2011 13:32

all i know is the tsunami footage is some serious end of the world ****

that's got to be some of the craziest **** i've ever seen...

in person i would flip the **** out

Flyersfan 03-11-2011 13:33

Reports coming in from japan everything is back to normal like it never happened

Milk-Man 03-11-2011 13:34

I almost never watch the news. I'm on BBC's website viewing this just because it's awesome, so.. I agree that the media is pretty ridiculous, but this is merely coverage of what's happening. Telling me what to do to survive if I were in japan right now would definitely make me change the channel.

Flyersfan 03-11-2011 13:36

I think breathe air and boil water would get you through it bro

You don't have to be in Japan to want to learn how to survive a major natural disaster. Call me crazy, but I'd rather be prepared ahead of time, not after the fact. That seems to be the sad state of humanity right now. We just don't learn from anything. After the first, second, third, fourth times, etc.

But props on actually giving a sound argument and opinion. You are the minority :)

CelticMojo 03-11-2011 13:40

We need a seperate "Run for your life! it's a Tsunami"! thread.

Goshin 03-11-2011 13:41

:lol: @ 35 boats sunk and harbors destroyed from a 1 foot wave

american engineering right there folks
