Japan Earthquake more powerful than 2004 earthquake

[wildfirepower]

2011 Sendai Earthquake and Tsunami released a surface energy (Me) of 1.9±0.5×1017 joules,[40] dissipated as shaking and tsunamic energy, which is nearly double that of the 9.1-magnitude 2004 Sumatran earthquake that killed 230,000 people, and flung the 2,600 ton Apung 1 ship 2-3 km inland. "If we could only harness the [surface] energy from this earthquake, it would power [a] city the size of Los Angeles for an entire year", USGS director Marcia McNutt said in an interview.[41] The total energy released (Mw) was more than 200,000 times the surface energy and was calculated by the USGS WPhase Moment Solution at 3.9×1022 joules,[42] slightly less than the 2004 Sumatra quake. This is equivalent to 9.32 teratons of TNT (approximately 600 million times that of the Hiroshima bomb) and roughly 80 years of global energy usage, estimated to be 4.74×1020 J for the year of 2008.

Moves to rein in child pornography meet resistance in Japan

Faced with mounting pressure, Japan’s government has been forced to confront the country’s huge market in child pornography, raising hopes for a ban on possession of the material. But there's plenty of resistance

Faced with mounting foreign and domestic pressure, Japan’s government has been forced to rethink how to handle the country’s huge market in child pornography, raising hopes for an overdue ban on possession.

While it is illegal to produce or distribute child pornography in Japan, possessing it is not – an anomaly Japan shares with only one other G8 nation, Russia. The release last month of national police agency figures showing a dramatic rise in the number of known child pornography cases coincides with new calls for the government to take action. Yet, say campaigners, national legislators lack the political will to change the law

Why do you keep putting this up?

Are you saying this earthquake and devastation is caused by the fact that they possess child porn?


If so, I'm thinking that's a bit of a stretch. I don't recall their being any earth gods that would cause an earthquake to stop child porn, but if you have reference to one, please cite it.
