Whatever you do, don't read the comments on that article. I thought FB commenting was supposed to get people to act decently on the internets.

You are from America and you use a phrase like that? Are you so badly in need of approval you give blowjobs to people that despise you? Have some self respect and stop being a groveling worm.

What are you talking about? We're not allowed to diss nit-wit Americans? Do you even know the origin on the term? Oh never mind.

You need a little more seasoning. You have been her all of what. . . . 10 days?

Yes, but he has been Ugly all his life.

How inconsiderate of you to ruffle his feathers.

suggest you might want to reference the term "ugly american" - it is not a general blanket term referring to all americans, but a specific subset which perpetuate a negative stereotype.

Bottles, cans and lumber from the tsunami that devastated Japan in March began washing up on British Columbia shores this week, more than a year earlier than oceanographers had initially predicted.

Winds and currents have carried the items -- emblazoned with Japanese characters -- nearly 21,000 kilometres across the Pacific Ocean. They began washing up in the Tofino area on Vancouver Island's west coast earlier this week.

more & video

my geography is a little weak but i think that 21,000km is out by a tad. thought the distance between was closer to 7,000 or 8,000 km.

OK, now I understand. It is that web site where suckers expose those private parts of their lives to the world to an extent that normal humans like you and me would not even dare to tell their best friends and wives.

What are the rules on finding stuff that has value? "Finders keepers"?

by **Bucky** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:59 am

Now this. How about $15K to go on a garbage cruise to see the debris.

. . .they are inviting the public on an exclusive ride to see the floating spectacle aboard a 72-foot sailing yacht.

. . . in May of 2012, Pangaea Explorations along with the Algalita Marine Research Foundation and 5 Gyres Institute will launch a two-leg tour of ocean debris to paying customers aboard the 72-foot sailing yacht, the Sea Dragon.

. . . The second leg, however, will start in Tokyo and track the path of the Japanese tsunami debris for 32 days with the intent of sampling the remains throughout, and in hopes for a better understanding of plastic accumulation in oceans. The 32-day-long voyage will end in Hawaii, appropriate as it is the expected site for debris to come washing ashore at the beginning of 2012, according to International Pacific Research Center predictions.

While this cruise is no buffet and spa jaunt, it sure does exceed the price tag of a luxury vacation, at the steep price of $15,500 per person for the tsunami debris expedition. The entire cruise will be comprised of 13 people, including 4 crew, and even the paying participants will be active in the daily duties of life at sea, including sailing the boat, cleaning, cooking, collecting data, and keeping watch for hazards in the tsunami debris field.

The question my head more toward wether or not Japan can be forced to pay for the cleanup bills...

The mayor of Tofino is on record as saying the debris will be treated with respect as is tied to a significant human tragedy.

Trash is trash... Keep the respect for the corpse, not for the lumber. Fukushima's resident are still alive and not even receiving that much respect from their own politician... not need to give every Calpis bottle a formal burial ceremony...

seconded. put it on display for a while maybe, then clean it up as you would any other and use the opportunity to educate people that the oceans are beginning to buckle under the strain of decades of abuse as a dumping ground for humanity's waste.

The debris left before the meltdown. So they might be safer than the ricecrops or exported totoyas...
