The thought that a tribal leader could order his soldiers to commit child-nurder and child-rape, as well as the slaughter of adult civilians, all against long standing local custom.

The thought that such would not be garrotted immediately, but regarded by later generations as a fit legend to base a religion on.

That supposed adults still adhere to such a religion.

That is worse.

How many deaths were directly attributable to Chernobyl, with about 300 times the radioactive fallout of the Hiroshima bomb? Fifty-two deaths according to a 2005 WHO report.

About 100,000 people die in Japan each year as a direct result of smoking.

What is worse?

Fester, common sense would follow that those 2005 figures may not include all of the Russian people dying of cancer between 2005 to date, who were exposed to the Chernobyl explosion.

The impact upon those two nuclear plants from the earthquake and the tsunami could have been explosions as opposed to minimal damage. One can never rule out future quakes further weakening the grounds under and surrounding nuclear stations either.

For 30% of power generated, 54 Power Stations were built? Regardless of Japan being low on fuels for electricity, in my view it is definitely not worth the risk when sitting on major faultlines. Something I had realised years ago when news was announced about Japan building nuclear power plants.

I was against the concept back then as I am now.

What governments and private companies will not tell people, is that when leaks or faults are detected within these power plants, people are in all likelihood ingesting the contaminated air during each year.

Similar to pesticides and sprays used by Government weeds and pestilence people, at times the lack of chlorine and appropriate levels of minerals put in our drinking water, high unsafe levels of chemicals allowable in cleaning products right down to bananas that were contaminated, damaged and sold interstate recently that should have been given away with a ticket on them marked "QLD flood damaged fruits"! Sewerage would have flowed into parts of these plantations with the possibility of saturated skins. For three weeks live viruses are able to sit on surfaces, bananas being no exception and currently selling for $9.99 per kilo in some states.

My point is that some areas of Government and some companies in order to make the almighty dollar will feed the population on myths, as we all know, outrightly lie and cover up on issues, including health issues to avoid liability.

Fires and floods are no exception.

Common sense would suggest that the point is moot. Note that with smoking, if you stop, the health impacts become statistically insignificant after about twenty years. This is similar for acute radiation doses. Chernobyl death predictions are based on the assumption that any increase in radiation exposure above background levels causes a linear increase in cancer deaths. As yet this assumption is not supported by observation, and given the time since the accident, it seems unlikely that a large effect will suddenly materialise.

You would save many more lives by getting smoking anti-nukes to quit or take up e-cigarettes than with anti-nuclear protesting. One hundred thousand deaths each year in Japan from smoking. The death toll from the earthquake/tsunami could be over a tenth of this; the death toll from a nuclear accident would probably be a small fraction of a percent of the annual smoking toll.

lets hear your proof
re smoking statistics..festering sore

lets quote from govt members debate in parliment
http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=4307&page=0

""The thing that underlines all this
is that I know that,..of all the deaths of smokers that occur
whether it is a car-accident, a heart-attack..or any other tragedy—
50 per cent.....are* tobacco *related.*""

yes some govt mug actually said that
and this

""we know that there are around*
three million Australians..who still smoke.""

and this

""You do not have to go far
to find warnings..by our public health authorities
that smoking is..*expected*..to kill
one *million Australians*..
over the next decade""

its time to take you nutters to court
MAKE YOU lot..PROVE YOUR INSANE BIAS/lies

but i said it at the other topic
you clown..

so get back to topic
done be trying to flame off topic here..!

At Crippled Japanese Nuclear Plant:
'Last-Ditch Effort' To Prevent Meltdown

On Weekend Edition, Jon told host Linda Wertheimer that the plan to flood the core with seawater and boric acid may be unprecedented and will effectively destroy the power plant.

If the plan fails and the core does meltdown, Jon said the only thing left to do will be to "seal it up with concrete.

You sort of entomb it."

Japan hits panic button:
using sea water to try to cool down reactor!

Japanese officials continued their battle to control dangerous reactor overheating in the nation's worst nuclear accident that followed Friday's earthquake, as they resorted to an unprecedented attempt to cool the reactor with seawater.

Webmaster's Commentary:
Using Seawater will destroy the reactor. Taking this step means they have given up all hope of recovering and repairing the reactor.

Now they are just trying to shut it down by any means necessary.

Thorium Reactors cannot melt down,
and cannot be used to make bombs!

Webmaster's Commentary:
For the $14 trillion that the Wall Street MBS Fraud cost America, we could have built 130 Thorium reactors, which do not melt down and which do not produce bombs.
