I pray for the families of those affected. Truly tragic.  |
Friends who would say such things would no longer be my friends, period. I have no room in my life for people who would gloat in the face of the misery caused by this disaster. All I have to say to someone like that is to get the fuck off your pedestal and choke on a dick.
also, in more news of people trying to be dicks in the face of tragedy. Are the people who made this image
posted it up in a youtube video.
The logo in the image belongs to Austrailian Radioation Services. the Image came out on friday, ARS was closed until Monday and was not able to react to the image in a timely manner, leaving this image to develop in to a flashmob of mass hysteria.
They released an official statement

Now I tried to figure out why someone would incite hysteria like this.
The user who posted the video posted stuff like

0-50 rads - No obvious short-term effects
80-120 rads - You have a 10% chance of vomiting and experiencing nausia for a few days
130 -170 rads - You have a 25% chance of vomiting and contracting other symptoms
...
180-220 rads - You have a 50% chance of vomiting and having other severe physical effects
270-330 rads - 20% chance of death in 6 weeks, or you will recover in a few months.
400-500 rads - 50% chance of death
550-750 rads - Nausia within a few hours ; no survivors
> 1000 rads - immediate incapacitation and death within a week or less."

While linking to Potassium Iodide Tablets for sale online, trying to sham people for money out of mass hysteria and misinformation. It's the y2k thing all over again.
So between that, the people talking shit about pearl harbor, and all asswipery that people have been displaying online during this disaster, I'm reminded that while 50% of the people out there are above average in common sense, intelligence, and compassion for their fellow human being, the other half is full of people that just remind me of everything that's wrong with our society.
