Haha, I'm pretty sure we can debate about something without arguing. I do believe that if a country is in need, other people should join in to help. I'm all for that. They might need our help with some earth quake issues, sure, but at the same time Japan kind of knew it was prone to have earth quakes. They have prepared for things like this, after all, Japan isn't so stupid to say "Oh yeah we're done having earth quakes now, that fad got boring." Sure, if they need more help, America has always done that, but...
But this nuclear thing is nothing. At most they'll have to throw away crops.
"Minor release of radioactive material unlikely to result in implementation of planned countermeasures other than local food controls."
That's what rank four means.
It has to be rank 6 before it's a "catastrophe," which is one hundred times worse than a rank 4.
That's all that bothers me about this. It won't even matter any more than the oil spill in a month though, that's just how the news is. People just don't know what they're talking about and the news took it and ran to get more watchers, because saying, "Oh yeah, there was a nuclear plant problem too, but everything is cool don't worry about it," won't keep people watching for the next few weeks.
