Typical response, "a sheep". Lets face it, there's no radiation - look on radiationnetwork.com - Dangerous levels of radiation? I think not!
The government will not lie to you on this one - too many people can check if they are lying. The real truth is, the government very rarely lies to it's citizens these days because they will be too easily caught out. We're living in great times at the minute.edit on 20-3-2011 by routerboy because: (no reason given)

I take it that the "your govt rarely lies to you these days" conspiracy theory is the one you are not familiar with?
The truth hurts man. The truth hurts.

Well, the idea that the government are there to actually help you is an unpopular one here, due to all the conspiracy nuts here... If there was no government you probably would have a life expectancy of about 32 years. Fact.

Here's another source for you then.
The Chernobyl nuclear disaster may have caused the deaths of 1000 children across England and Wales, as rain from contaminated clouds fell on parts of England and Wales, new research suggests.
Twenty years after the disaster, epidemiologist John Urquhart told the Nuclear Free Local Authorities conference in London on Thursday that he had found an "almost perfect correlation" between areas where rain from radioactive clouds fell, and an 11% increase in infant deaths.
Chernobyl linked to British children's deaths

Absolutely! I can't believe people are STILL passing off this tripe as gospel. Even if it were true it would have NOTHING to do with the current situation today, considering the current situation isn't even that bad.edit on 20-3-2011 by routerboy because: (no reason given)edit on 20-3-2011 by routerboy because: (no reason given)edit on 20-3-2011 by routerboy because: (no reason given)

Sorry m8, unless you can disprove it with some kind of linked article its just your opinion.

There is ZERO to worry about. My goodness, have people in Tokyo even started coughing yet?? NOPE!!!
Annual limit on intake (ALI) is the derived limit for the amount of radioactive material taken into the body of an adult worker by inhalation or ingestion in a year. ALI is the intake of a given radionuclide in a year that would result in: a committed effective dose equivalent of 0.05 Sv (5 rems) for a "reference human body", or a committed dose equivalent of 0.5 Sv (50 rems) to any individual organ or tissue, whatever dose is the smaller
Longer term exposure to radiation, at doses less than that which produces serious radiation sickness, can induce cancer as cell-cycle genes are mutated. The probability cancer will develop is a function of radiation dose. In radiation-induced cancer the disease, the speed at which the condition advances, the prognosis, the degree of pain, and every other feature of the disease are not functions of the radiation dose to which the person is exposed.

There is no evidence that the radiation released from Fukushima is even harmful in the slightest. There's NO evidence what-so-ever of any harmful effects as yet.

No Ill effects? tell that to 3 people of my extended family who all lost 2 unborn babies each in Wales and 2 have since died from cancer and the other is living with it.
Unfortunately they lived on sheep farms but ate their local grown produce BEFORE we were told the radiation was a problem in the hills when the rain came
