What about this mess? They could clean it up with their renown fishing fleets.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/envoy/20-mi ... 40503.html
" . . . Some 5 to 20 million tons of debris--furniture, fishing boats, refrigerators--sucked into the Pacific Ocean in the wake of Japan's March 11 earthquake and tsunami are moving rapidly across the Pacific. Researchers from the University of Hawaii tracking the wreckage estimate it could approach the U.S. West Coast in the next three years, the UK Daily Mail reports. . . ."
From the map in the article, it looks like it is going to hit Slammr's beaches and not mine. Then again the coastal current will distribute it southward. I think they call it the "Japanese Current". Don't blame me. I am not making it up.
I believe every silver lining hides a dark cloud.

Moi, ever heard of the pacific trash vortex?
There's a reason why all that shit will not actually end up on your beach. Or at least, majority won't. Take a good look at the pacific oceanic currents. This is basic geography, but all that crap will swirl into a vortex in the middle of the pacific where they will either biodegrade or photodegrade.
Cut the Japanese some slack, blaming them for the debris washed out to sea by the tsunami that killed 18,500 people seems pretty lacking in compassion.

The earthquake and tsunami destroyed one of the major fishing ports in Japan. They lost not only a significant part of their fishing fleet, but also a generation of fishermen....

In a disaster like this they may never recover their fishing fleet, with both boats and fisherman gone, how do you train the next generation? This tragedy just keeps getting worse, it may be trash heading his way from Moi's point of view, but last March it was somebody's life and lively hood.
Moi my friend, you need to back away from this one, pick your fights this is not one of them.

Can't you people discuss anything at all without drifting off on a tangent and starting arguments?

Sometimes a joke misses.
Re-read message 18.
Seems it is either not funny or some persons missed the chuckles. And others played, "dogpile", gang-up.
I say no more on it.

Post 16 sounded awfully not like it was meant to be satirical or humorous. If you're the only one laughing at your own jokes, might be time to take a reconsideration of your sense of humor.

Look at how they recovered from the atomic bombs of WWII. They are a rather resiliant and self-help society that doesn't look for hand-outs.
To see how we handle misfortunes in our country just look at the decline of one of our great cities of the WWII era, specifically Detroit, Michigan.
