Mainly because I am a techy and not a writer, I suspect ! .. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43830#post-125449 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:49:07 +0000 Gerontius 125449@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Starfish ARE invasive Golgo - we've got some just moved in next door and there are some living down the road above the Co-Op....so I would say they ARE a threat.<br /> You can't blame that on the tsunami, it's the benefits they're after. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43830#post-125438 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:36:34 +0000 Golgo13 125438@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>All a bit sad really, when you look at the area of debris that was washed away from Northern Japan in a few minutes. Brings home - yet again - the scale of the tsunami. </p> <p>I'm not saying invasive species like starfish and algae aren't a real threat to marine ecosystems, but the article seemed eerily focussed on the wrong thing for me - Oregonians shuddering "why is this happening to us? this is getting serious now. What if I'd been surfing?"</p> <p>Maybe I'm being over sensitive, but was there almost a whiff of blame? Like Misawa should take better care of its large debris? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43830#post-125387 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:46:10 +0000 dvo4fun 125387@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ah - makes more sense now.

I genuinely laughed out loud at the bit towards the end "The owners of the port in Misawa have said they do not want it back" </p>
