The point is the hysteria and lies and the desire by so many to be coddled by their nanny government.<br /><br />Somehow saying that acting like a frightened and manipulative child, whether it's this woman or anyone else, is justified because the government didn't provide for people in some way is what we are criticizing.<br /><br />She or people like her can be as terrified as they want. Those of us who think for ourselves and take responsibility for ourselves in the reality based world will continue to criticize, and rightly so.Andy "In Japan"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04505038501136945817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-31116054910621444532011-03-21T15:07:11.074+09:002011-03-21T15:07:11.074+09:00These comments are almost as funny as the Sun arti...These comments are almost as funny as the Sun article itself.

Bored and hanging out here with your few, like-minded friends? And if you are bothered by my unwillingness to sign my name(crazy thing to do in cyberspace), why didn't you sign yours? And you miss my point of not making fun of terrified folks by bragging with lucky hindsight about how your affluent village was re-stocked after a few days. Realize that some parts of Japan are still not that lucky. And 'my logic 'is that the government should have made comforting announcements, or any useful updates rather than covering for Tepco.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-18148520965104608532011-03-21T13:15:26.436+09:002011-03-21T13:15:26.436+09:00Yeah, yeah Anon...

I live in Meguro and know for a fact that 90% of what that woman said is pure imagination. We didn't have bread, milk, bottled water or eggs for a few days but we had tons of food at all the stores : canned or frozen whatever you wanted, we had it. ... So your logic is that because the Japanese government wasn't making horrific announcements, then that was reason for panic?

Do you feel all tingly good after making fun of every line said by a woman who is obviously terrified for herself and kids?
