I took too long to comment on your other entry, so I am putting it up here:
Don't worry about voicing your opinion. I have been shell shocked ever since the news broke on Friday. I don't know that many Japanese ppl in real life ... only those who have been part of the German/Japanese society back in D'Dorf. But still that doesn't keep me from being worried for all Japanese ppl, be it celeb, normal oka- or oba-sans. These folks could be us, could be our parents, friends, siblings if something similar was to happen in our own countries.
I guess some ppl always take the Holier than thou attitude in such devastating times ... be it some really hurtful comments on twitter mixing up the pain of a war that has been ended for more than 50 years, or some stupid, not at all thought through gossip about celebs from fans. It all happens and in this day and age even more open and publicly due to the internets.
There is and will be so much pain and hurt in Japan we will never know. There are only glimpses of what ppl must be getting through.
As for nuclear power ... ever since Tchernobyl we know how devastating nuclear power failure can be and esp. here in Germany ppl had worked towards shutting down nuclear power plants ever since but the new government having extended their run of npp's for another 14 years only last year :s Whatever the consequences we draw from this three-fold disaster, I hope it will be for a better place for the Japanese nation as well as for the rest of the world.
Let's keep those ppl in our minds, helping with whatever we can do (donations, putting rescue packages together etc.) and hope that Japan can overcome this disaster in no time.
