I'd rather mend a buckled wheel than pull my dead son or daughter from a crumpled building.

WTF does climate have to do with earthquakes and tsunamis?

Apart from summer humidity their climate is way nicer than ours imho.

I couldn't give a flying fuck about your personal opinion of their climate tbh The facts are Britain experiences, in ecological terms, the perfect climate. Japan experiences; rain seasons, typhoons, subtropical heatwaves and other various extreme weathers.

If you want to dish out the smart arse card - climate change, rising seas caused by melting ice caps, deforestation caused by years of drought in intense heat and numerous other geological phenomona are all linked acutely to both earthquakes and subsequently tsunamis. Specifically on nations whos geography has determined they reside right on or close to plate faults.

So yeah, back to my original point. I'd rather drive over pot hole ridden roads than have to repair those buckled by brutal, life-shattering earthquakes.

Getting a bit worked up are we mate

Condescending smileys tend to do that 'mate'

Nope. Its not "acutely linked" its a theory. Proposed by the same group of scientists who still can't agree on whether global CO2 rises are cause or effect of global temperature rises.

Anyways, doesn't change my opinion as someone whose lived there through their wet season and got earthquaked on in the process, I'd chose their flawed cimate with its defined seasons over Scotlands generally wet and shitty one readily.

California is expected to see a quake of similar magnitude at some point as well, and its too dry, know what, I'd sooner live there too

You would never have guessed you had lived there. I have a mate in Japan that would tell you the weather is perfect there, a mate in Australia who would tell you the weather is perfect there and one in New Zealand who also thinks the same. I wonder why that is.

Again personal opinion but I'd rather get wet and cold than killed

I was making the point that on more than one occasion when I've gone into a subject in depth disagreeing with someone you've been the one coming in with the snide remarks about how I'm getting flustered. Makes me a bit happier to know that it happens to the best of us though

Good work but they are still finding people dead and people living in schools, maybe a bit of a waste of resources? Unless its a vital road.

Links tokyo to a damaged town, so would help with getting supplies in etc i guess.
