gerard 6 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I wonder if Japanese people have become more inward looking after the whole Tohoku thing, and maybe also because of the world economic slump, etc. etc. Or maybe not..... Anyone notice any changes in Japanese peoples' attitudes / outlook? Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I can't see that. In fact, I think people noticed how the outside world supported. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 The press are ignoring it and trying to hush it up, but there's been a massive swing of opinion against nuclear power. If the country had turned inward, I suppose there would be more opposition to TPP. If anything, the farmers are struggling to drum up any interest in it. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Don't know about 'inward looking", but there's obviously some big changes on some issues - nuclear power being the big one of course. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 People can't believe that on the day were are told it will take 40 frikking years to clean up Fukushima, and that there are likely active faults underneath other nuclear plants, that they start up one of those.

pie-eater 207 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 40 years? The mind boggles thinking about it. I still think my idea of covering it all with a dome and then scooping the whole area out (like some aliens did in an episode of The Outer Limits) and moving it off into space would have been the best solution.

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Interesting to know and not just the Japanese attitudes but those from overseas. I see they have started taking rods out of Reactor 4 at Fukushima. Arnie happy? Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone notice any changes in Japanese peoples' attitudes / outlook? I haven't noticed any kind of inward looking going on. I think there are too many basic problems that need sorting out to worry about that kind of thing. Link to post Share on other sites
