The YouTube description reads:

"On the 19th of July 2011, people in Fukushima had a meeting with government officals from Tokyo to demand that the government evacuate people promptly in Fukushima and provide financial and logistical support for them. Also, they brought urine of children to the meeting and demanded that the government test it."

I think I may have opened one of those vials of urine and poured it onto those fat ass bureaucrats. I'm sure it would have been tested then to see if they were irradiated by it. But now the people of Fukushima really know that their well being is worth less than that of other people, especially the chosen few who work for the gov't.

The government obviously doesn't care about these people. I'm not even sure the rest of Japan does either.

I feel sorry for them.

Sorry, I should have seen that before posting.

There are a few posts of this in Japanese on youtube too. It's worth looking at their comments. If it was any other country they would have got their skulls bashed in.

God damn, that's awful. There are no words.

This necessitates civil disobedience. This cannot be tolerated. This will not stand.

Take it to the streets, mate! You might want to start with Nagata-cho, the place from which Japanese national administrative guidance emanates, to descend on the islands like a radioactive plume. Todai would be a fun place for a little civil disobedience, too.

Report back to us!

-but don't bother with the subaltern bureaucrats in the video. The shit-eating duty they were assigned is a testament to their lowliness.

Fukushimites had a good run, but things didn't end well. It's the nature of Faustian bargains.

Coligny, where do you find this shit. Nobody is going to get arrested for something like that. They would probably just get warned and have the collected specimens confiscated
(but they did say I could have them back when they were finished.)

[color="black"][SIZE="3"]Fukushima Teacher Muzzled on Radiation Risks for School Children
[/SIZE][/color]

July 29 (Bloomberg) -- As temperatures soared to 100 degrees Fahrenheit on a recent July morning, school children in Fukushima prefecture were taking off their masks and running around playgrounds in T-shirts, exposing them to a similar amount of annual radiation as a worker in a nuclear power plant.

Toshinori Shishido, a Japanese literature teacher of 25 years, had warned his students two months ago to wear surgical masks and keep their skin covered with long-sleeved shirts. His advice went unheeded, not because of the weather but because his school told him not to alarm students. Shishido quit this week.

"I want to get away from this situation where I'm not even allowed to alert children about radiation exposure," said Shishido, a 48-year-old teacher who taught at Fukushima Nishi High School. "Now I'm free to talk about the risks."

"...exposing them to a similar amount of annual radiation as a worker in a nuclear power plant."

Every study ever conducted has shown that the normal radiation exposure for nuclear workers has had no adverse effect on their health. In fact, they are healthier than the general population.

From the not so backing your bullshit PDF:

[quote] Greater
health insurance coverage of workers may
also be responsible for reducing fatality rates
of many common cancers such as those of
the colon, prostate, and bladder]

So yeah, in fact... by being constantly held under a microscope.. they don't die of cancer... cause they are detected early and treated... Bad luck seems they focus on cancer related death only and not on cancer declaration numbers... But you like this kind of narrowly focused shit... proves you right whatever really happens on the ground....

A.k.a. cherry picking. The authors clearly identify this as a speculation on their part.

Who needs peer-reviewed scientific research when one has the authority of anonymous, scientifically illiterate, wankers on an obscure internet board.

Yes, I know their article is bullshit... peerely reviewed... From the first paragraph:

"We examined the effects of chronic exposure to radionuclides, primarily uranium and mixed-fission products, on cancer mortality"
They don't want to know if it increase cancer risks, they just want to know how many dies when they have cancer... which is a shortcut, dishonest at best...

Hilarious. Someone prankster at Tokai TV changed the caption card with details of summer gift winners. The first two are "dodgy rice Cesium-san" and the last is "contaminated rice Cesium-san". The station has issued an apology. (Japanese)
