    The Fukushima fall out news just keeps getting worse and worse. More wildlife is being affected adversely and it will soon hit us at the top of the chain.

    Seals and other sea-mammals are dying or starving. Could more great whites come up to the NE and start chomping on you guys?

    If these mammals aren't dying, they're suffering from "beta-burns". This is not the same thing as when Yankee calls you Francis or Francene, but open wounds from proximity to beta-emitters (not Yankee's mom). These seals, sea lions and polar bears will be dead soon too. The fisheries will be hard hit. The migratory fish will spread the radiation far and wide and we'll all get a taste of it in 15 or so years.

    Basically, you get bit by a shark on the east coast: Japs fault
    Fisheries depleted: Japs fault
    Cancer in 15 years: Japs fault

    So can we get over this North vs. South thing (notice how it's never South vs. North.... freakin bullies) and just be mad at the rest of the world again?

    Just enjoy every sandwich and never waste a hard-on. And if you feel lazy and its 2 feet and the winds on it, still go out there and surf.

    The world is big and evil and full of oozing stuff that kills all kinds of life. And the Taliban.

    My favorite part of that whole article/opinion piece: "Scientists say the only safe level of radiation is zero."

    LoL! Any scientist that thinks there is a way to get zero radiation contact in nature, shouldn't be called a scientist.

    This was unbelievable comedic timing. Well done, sir. Have you been waiting for the perfect time to use that clip? If not, all the more impressive.

    Also, Manisses, let's be serious - it's extremely difficult to not waste a single stiffy. Agree about the surfing though...

    Godzilla was the direct result of radioactive recklessness. I think Clem raises a good point. Nature is essential. My twin brother was in Belize in April studying corals and he told me about the disgusting filth ridden beaches. He claims that the beaches were so litered in some parts one could not even see the sand. So perhaps there's nothing we can do to stop radioactive materials in the ocean but for Christ's sake take the time to recycle.
    I know my brother has some pics of the littered beaches I'll post em up.... South American is f'd btw

    Shane Dorian posted this on Instagram the other day. It's really unfortunate. Essentially we're all f'ed in the end. Lets just have fun and be cool to each other and try not to F anything else up in the interim. The Buddhist approach. The sun will swallow the earth in a couple hundred years.

    I didn't expect you guys to take this seriously.... This was just an attempt to take jabs at Yankee.
