Yeah, I also hope the situation will turn better. People have already suffered a lot.

BTW, have you ever learned Chinese? I noticed you've figured out my name correctly, Ling Yu, not Lin Gyu, or Ling Yuxisu, or something else~

It is quite exciting and never dull to learn about another culture. I believe to learn about another culture enhances and is good exercise for the mind. I enjoy it immensely!! Thank you for the kind words LingYu~ Best Larry

GUEST4991	Japan Nuclear Power Plant has released contaminated water into the ocean. Japanese authorities claim that it won't be harmful. But its neighboring countries like South Korea and Russia have condemned Japan's action. It is irresponsible for Japan to release the water into the ocean directly.

You misunderstand my comment. No, if I lived in Korea I would not think it's okay for Japan to release the water. In fact nomatter where I lived I would not think it's okay. But what alternative do they have? The reactor is still overheating and more water needs to be used in an attempt to cool it. The level of radioactive contamination of the water is increasing each time they flush the system. What little capacity Japan has to store radioactive water will be saved for when the radioactivity level is extreme. The priority now is preventing a meltdown by continually cooling with sea water. Safely disposing of waste unfortuately must come second. If you know of an alternative I'm sure the Japanese would welcome it.

GUEST2847	The nuclear plant crisis hasn't been solved yet. And the earthquakes have happened in Japan again. It is predicted that a 9.0 magnitude might happen again in the near future. The situation is much worse.

Seven is the maximum and that puts it on the same level as 1996 Chernobyl which is the deadliest earthquake in the world...so far. It is getting worse day by day.
