March 24, 2007, 10:26 p.m.Damn Consipirecy Theries, sometimes I wish they would just shut their mouths and believe in whats said. I know, I know, you probably think it makes you seem "smarter" by questioning everything but damn there's a line you just don't need to pass

March 24, 2007, 10:36 p.m.I may despise Emperor Stupidicus and the ****** Cheney,
but there's only so much you can blame on them. This isn't
one of those things.
The Japanese are lucky they got hit with such a small wave.
Oh, and for you right wing types, I don't like the morons that
the left has for so-called leaders either. All politicians are
nothing more than self-serving and worthless.

March 25, 2007, 2:01 a.m.if japan is the most technically adepted at handling quakes and tsunamis, also being so advanced due to experience from frequent occurrance, and yet still suffers some losses, lord help us if l.a., chicago and n.y.c start getting off shore or inland quakes like tokyo does on a regular bases.. start praying!

March 25, 2007, 4:19 a.m.After surviving the sylmar quake 6.7 in '71, the Loma Prieto Quake in '89, and the Northridge quake in '94 (yes I was living near the Epicenter of these locations at the time of each of these quakes) all I can say is DON'T GET CAUGHT WITH YOUR PANTS DOWN.

March 25, 2007, 1:41 p.m.Well as you can see I live right on the coast of California and every time they have an earth quake over there in a week or so we also have one. It is a working example of "what goes around comes around"

from California.

March 25, 2007, 3:15 p.m.Earthquakes are a daily event in Japan. In Kanto region, (Chiba) is where I've gone to for the last 20 years for my martial arts training and I can say that solidly 50% of the time, I've felt small earthquakes there.
When I was in graduate school there, Kansai region, there seemed to be fewer but when you felt them they were more intense. That could just be my perception as well.
Earthquakes are a natural part of life in Japan, unlike certain crazy imported fetishes or bad EU Disco which was all the rage for a while. ;-)
Cheers,
Nick

March 25, 2007, 7:49 p.m.Come on dems dont let me down i know you want to blame bush for this, so ill just wait to see how you twist this story to suit your needs. Something like Bush knew it was going to happen but didnt do anything to warn Japan or something like that.

March 25, 2007, 8:34 p.m.We only use Japan for a strategic location and for bad investments.
I do not care who's fault or what happens to that tiny island.

March 25, 2007, 8:59 p.m.It was a 40 second shocker -- one of the longest I've experienced in this tremor-prone land. Although a couple hundred miles from the epicenter, the building in which I live shook long enough for doubts to arise as to whether it (and me) would survive. Thankfully no destructive tsunami and only one life lost.

March 25, 2007, 11:59 p.m.blinkers....blame it on Bush, everyone else does. People actualy believe hurricane Katrina is Bush's fault. I know the Japanese do not,, they are intelligent and have common sense. I know....half my family lives there.
