I don't Twitter, so please be gentle with responding. I'm asking because I'm trying to learn...
If I'm reading this article correctly, only one person complained about the comic. 13,000 retweets doesn't necessarily mean that people agreed with his complaint right? They simply found it interesting. What happened at Fukushima was terrible - the stuff from nightmares. I can't even begin to understand what it must be like for the survivors. |

You generally don't retweet something you don't agree with. Glad to see the Japanese are not being total idiots about Fukushima. The media's exaggeration of the event has been completely and utterly laughable. Like the nonsense about people "sacrificing their lives", which the media actually latched onto because of the claims of some worried mom. Seriously. |

Agreed, it's horrible what happened. Compounded by the initial bureaucratic inertia on the part of TEP & Japan's Government, it is one unholy mess. Nosebleeds? How about this, if I recall correctly from my HS & College Physics classes radiation will, on it's own, cause O2 Oxygen to change over to O3 Ozone. That's why you have Ozone in the upper atmosphere where radiation from space reaches. And I know from personal experience that Ozone will cause nosebleeds and irritation of other bodily membranes. So, yeah I can believe what the locals report and what the mangaka had the characters in Oishinbo experience. Yes, it would be related to the radiation leak, but not radiation itself directly that caused the symptoms. What this disaster does to the environment is what is unknown. How that impacts the Japanese ( and the rest of us for that matter ) who live in the environment is the challenge. Mark Gosdin |

You're correct. People retweet something they want to share or comment upon. It has nothing to do with agreeing. You can add comments on to the front of all retweets that show your position on the original. |

While that may be correct in theory, I expect most people do only retweet things they agree on or support, unless it is some really controversial tweet you want to show others. |
