why are you dating her?

Radiation from Japan going to the U.S., California in particular, is expected to be thousands of times less than daily background radiation from natural and man-made sources, such as the sun, air, soil, medical imaging, and life saving therapies. And it's rained here in Tokyo for 2 days straight now, which removes radiation from the atmosphere. AND the closest place in the continental U.S. is 5000 miles away from Japan. Even the Japanese aren't freaking out about it, but people in the states are? Wow. People these days. People are dead, literally washing in with the tide after the tsunami, and people are honestly worried about stupid shit like radiation? Yes, radiation is serious business, but people need to go to work and do something besides sit and watch T.V. all day. OP, take the gas mask and shove it up her ass, along with the potassium iodide pills, and return the whole package for a full refund. Then, donate the money to the Red Cross.

well your gf is actually right for the iodine and questionable for the gas mask the point is that as a human being I wish more people understood the gravity of the situation so they could protect themselves if you research occurrence of cancer in the us and the rest of the world since Chernobyl and the nuclear weapons testing in Nevada in the 1940's you would see that the occurrence of cancer is many times higher in all areas of the population especially children. people on here calling her stupid are unaware of the facts the radiation has hit California but it is only what had leaked out of the plants before the explosions began it will continue to rise as the jet stream brings it over let's not forget the fact that it is still spewing radiation . if I were you I would find out where your gf is getting her info and start listening to what she has been

Buy yourself a mask so you wont inhale her coodies, or you could become as retarded as her!!!

Is she blond?

Are you kidding me, you ass hole, radiation is coming to the united states, pull you're head out of your ass. When she is healthy and you're the one with cancer and loosing your hair, you might want to re think who the dumb one in the relationship is.

canadian tire is sold out of Iodine tablets here both of them...

I also live in Texas hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha wat did u say

sooo... just because an accident has happened to a nuclear powerplant in japan means it will never happen here? i wish i had money, then i would buy some KI pills, protective suits, masks, etc.. as it is, if a nuclear accident happened in my area(and there are several nuclear plants in my VA), i would be screwed. be grateful you have a smart GF who wants to be prepared.

Even if harmful radiation does get to where she lives in Texas, she can't just take the pills and sit there. That was my understanding is that you have to take the pills and gtfo of the radiation or they won't work. Also anyone that carries these pills hardly carries any, so that's why they are all sold out.
