Hey, look, French people can be just as dumb as Americans. I don't understand why he's looking for news on non-news channels. That'd be like me watching Spike TV looking for the most recent news. If he has the internet why doesn't he pull up google, which has had a story on it every single day since it happened. And, you can get it from foreign sources too. People are entitled to watch what they want to watch while they're waiting for updates.
There is always the solution of getting the hell out. And then there is the solution of remaining calm and finding a news outlet to watch for the latest news. The US won't shut up about it, I'm sure Japanese news outlets are doing the same. It's never a good idea to panic in a situation like that.
and don't worry once the worst scenario happens and millions of people we could give a shit over - including an entire family of an old Japanese exchange student I know - either die or develop cancer we can go back to our latest story on Charlie Sheen.
I never said I wanted to hear about Charlie Sheen. I have friends in Japan too, but the important thing during crisis is to remain calm and rational. I'm hoping for the best, but as far as it goes it's Chinatown, there is nothing I can do. Those assholes in California paying 140 dollars for a 6 dollar drug are panicking over something that could possibly not happen. It does no one any good to panic over the mere possibility something. Prevention is impossible when you freak out. More importantly, even though this is a tragedy there are other problems in the world that are being ignored in lieu of fear mongering. The situation will develop as it does and we must keep level heads in hopes of not making the situation worse.
