One thing I can say fellas is we definatly aren't gonna make it out of this life alive. I think the sooner we realise that and embrace it we will live fuller lives while we have the chance. But that's just me trying to put a positive spin on things.

I wouldn't be overly thrilled about eating much from the surrounding area, but in terms of release compared to chernobyl we aren't even in the same realm. When Chernobyl melted down residence of Pripyat stood near by watching the colorful fire of he graphite fuel rods burn, with in the following 12 hours all the residence standing on the bridge where dead from exposure. Pripyats death bridge was just the start, thousands more would die with in the following days attempting to seal off the reactors. I believe a 30Km area surrounding it is now considered uninhabitable and will be for the next thousand or so years, Japans core didnt release 1/10th of the pollution that came from chernobyl, how do I know this ? I work in the power industry and went to school for nuclear power operations. As sad as the disaster is, I forsee great technology coming form this disaster in the form of radiation clean up advancements. If you want the facts pay attention to the IAEA, they're a commuinity of national scientist not a conglomeration of government voice.
I don't get it...Quote:

what im sayin is when i first saw the video it kinda put me in a shitty place mentally but after thinking about it for a while i realized i dont want to go through my day to day life afraid of dying from radiation espesially when i can get in my car and die on the way to the store. so im not gonna trip on it cause eventually one way or another its gonna be over so ill just live life to the fullest and not live in fear.Quote:

I'm not going to lie and say I watched the whole video.. bailed 2-3 min in after skipping around a bit.. but I just want to say that some of yall should be more skeptical of the things you hear or read.. don't just blindly assume its correct(the scientific method is a good practice for daily life). Without going through a wall of text I think that should suffice.
Basically at a minimum I'd need way more then this to even think this woman was correct.. as she is going completely against the consensus.
edit:
Considered an authority by who? What is the subject?!? Doomsdayology?!? does glenn beck supply the degrees?(joking aside I am curious). Also she has a lot to gain potentially ... she gains exposure/attention.. she may get funding for her research if she actually does some?!? And of course she sells her book if she has any. Massive scrutiny doesn't prevent the flow of cash money when appealing to a certain group of people.Quote:

This does make me more curious to watch the video fully but it will have to wait until tonight also do you have any links to the "data" you're referencing?
also this is not intended as an attack... just chit chat.
Edit 2: Just went to her website and that was pretty much an instant /facepalm... she has like 8 different books.. Definitely has a financial interest based on the bio on her own website lol.. also shes a "physician".. so a doctor.. and a practicing doctor as well 40ish years ago.. but man last time I checked that did not make a person an authority on anything in regards to nuclear energy etc.. other then if you gave me this much radiation it will effect the body is this manner. Her source of income as it appears today comes from her books and from public speaking.
Basically I'm incredibly skeptical.. that came from 5 minutes of searching so it could obviously be flawed.. maybe but thought I'd add it.
