No dude, it's not even close to the same thing. Obviously your in denial again. When someone here is saying the sky is falling, there actually making fun of ridicules outlandish unsubstantiated claims. Those same claims you pushed, but are now backing away from.

where & when in this entire thread, am i backing away from anything i previously posted ???

again, your reading comprehension seems EXTREMELY suspect to me.

(and before you make another grand analysis about me "slinging insults", that's not meant as an insult. it's merely what i'm personally seeing/reading throughout this thread here.)

You have really forgotten already? Do you really want me to go through the thread and post them all up; For everyone to see?

[ful-rac]

Ok seems like the only way to settle this matter at this point is to fight it out to the death....

where and when can I watch!


my money is on hobie peddler though...!

You guys are too much! gett'n all heated over nothing!!!
Just go fish'n already! If we all end up dying from radiation poisoning...so be it, there's nothing we can do about it at this point anyway...it's too late, the reactor already melted down...the radiation has already been released...the train has left the station...elvis has left the building... No sense in fighting about it now...but it's entertaining....

Carry on!

well, just like i do here, MANY sources in the world, would disagree with your post above.

if u want to check some of these MANY sources, use any search engine you want, for this term: "what is the meaning of the sky is falling".

the far MAJORITY of sources coming up in that search, will state something very similar to:

"it means that it is the end of the world".


but i guess we should all just believe what YOU say, that you are correct on this, and everyone else from ALL those sources are wrong.

please do !!

i can't wait to see what you come up with here.

i suspect it will be FAR more entertaining (& inaccurate), than is your "personal definition" of the term, the sky is falling.

Oh my!!!!

In Chicken Little ( a story that dates back over 2000 years) there is a hen who thinks the world is about to end, and a phrase that translates roughly into "The Sky is falling" is in that story. However for hundreds of years now in the English language "The Sky is falling" has become a phrase that people use to make fun of irrational or hysterical beliefs about possible dangers.

...added later.

Wiki:

Chicken Little, is a folk tale with a moral in the form of a cumulative tale about a chicken who believes the world is coming to an end. The phrase "The sky is falling!" features prominently in the story, and has passed into the English language as a common idiom indicating a hysterical or mistaken belief that disaster is imminent. Versions of the story go back more than 25 centuries and it continues to be referenced in a variety of media.

("idiom" what a great descriptive word, wish I had thought of that)

Traditional:
Chicken Little likes to walk in the woods. She likes to look at the trees. She likes to smell the flowers. She likes to listen to the birds singing.
One day while she is walking an acorn falls from a tree, and hits the top of her little head.
My, oh, my, the sky is falling. I must run and tell the lion about it, - says Chicken Little and begins to run.

(old but still good)

1940s
Chicken Little: Listen to me, everybody! I'm your new leader! I'm gonna save your lives! I'm gonna tell you what to do!
Cocky Locky: Don't listen to that pipsqueak. The sky isn't falling.
Chicken Little: I tell ya it is too falling!
Cocky Locky: And I tell you it isn't.
Chicken Little: Is too!
Cocky Locky: All right, if the sky is falling why doesn't it hit me in the head?
[Foxy Loxy hits Cocky Locky with a piece of wood]
Narrator: Hey, wait a minute! This isn't right. That's not the way it ends in my book.
Foxy Loxy: Oh, yeah? Don't believe everything you read, brother!

(Don't believe everything you read..... indeed!!)

2003:
Rumsfeld: Let me say one other thing. The images you are seeing on television you are seeing over, and over, and over, and it's the same picture of some person walking out of some building with a vase, and you see it 20 times, and you think, "My goodness, were there that many vases?" (Laughter.)

Q: Do you think that the words "anarchy" and "lawlessness" are ill-chosen?

Rumsfeld: Absolutely. I picked up a newspaper today and I couldn't believe it. I read eight headlines that talked about chaos, violence, unrest. And it just was Henny Penny -- "The sky is falling." I've never seen anything like it! And here is a country that's being liberated, here are people who are going from being repressed and held under the thumb of a vicious dictator, and they're free. And all this newspaper could do, with eight or 10 headlines, they showed a man bleeding, a civilian, who they claimed we had shot -- one thing after another. It's just unbelievable how people can take that away from what is happening in that country!

(I wouldn't say Rumsfeld is talking about the end of the world there. He's instead stated (with condescension) that reporters were being hysterical, or mistaken, when they talked about the then potential problems in Iraq. They questioned whether a disastrous breakdown of social order was imminent, as displayed by rioting and looting, and Rumsfeld in response confidently made fun of what he saw as their irrational beliefs)

I have proof that the radiation is having a negative effect on local fishing.

[CR Yaker]

Is there any way to use that radiation to our benefit, if we could collect it, harness it, run our FF's off it?

Yes there is, but you would need a sky hook.

Voice of experience? I eat plenty of tuna, and have had no issues whatsoever. Maybe it's a quality not a quantity issue.

[StinkyMatt]

I did some research....


I found that increased levels of radiation will cause:

1. Grown men to behave like junior high girls.

2. Internet posts to be way, way too long.

3. Erectile dysfunction.



Quit eating the crappy fish!

THAT IS ALL YOU GOT HERE. - LOLOL
i knew your reply on this, no matter what it was, would be extremely comical.

YOU are the one that popped off posting this comment:
"Do you really want me to go through the thread and post them all up; For everyone to see?"

BUT THEN, when directly called out on it.... you realize it's time for you to go fishing. - LOLOL

likely the best (& only) decision you could have made here.

No offense to the poster, the repliers and the viewers but I hope this thread not only gets closed but that it gets deleted.



it went from informative, to LOL to OMG to STFU already

[kluts]

All this hoopla made me wonder whats really goin on.So I went to all the other world news agencies.[Because any american news is shut out for some reason]The Japanese dont know what to do with three reactors that melted down. So water it down has been the answer,with hundreds of tons of contaminated water secretly going directly into the ocean everyday since 2011. I am now watching it closely,and quite worried.This is the worst accident to ever hit the planet.With the northern hemisphere ocean currents moving clockwise,The predictions were that the majority of iodine cesium and tritium injested by the foodchain,should reach the west coast by 2014.Then we can check and see just how bad it is for the west coast.They are really screwed,with no way to fix the damaged three reactors and the contamination is going to go on for decades.Any further mishaps with the 1500 spent fuel rod removal from reactor no.4 will be the biggest radiation fire the planet has ever seen.A nuclear bomb puts out nowhere near the contaminates of a "dirty"fuel fire. Me?Im watching closely
