You people can't adjust for perspective in photos very well. All these photos show is a road crew preparing to repair a road three and a half days after a disaster. Are you mistaking the road that was not messed up with the one that has yet to be repaired (left vs right side of the photo on the 15th)?
And how is this unlike the US? Where I'm from, we have hurricanes, not earthquakes and tsunamis, but, among other destruction, the roads get washed away - resulting in the same effect seen here: a totally demolished road (in no way am I minimizing the disaster in Japan, just saying the road damage in this example is comparable to what I've grown up with). The road crews always start the next available day; as there is no use in repairing a road during 150 MPH winds, they do wait until the storm is over. I won't go so far as to say that this Japanese road crew is slow, because there was a fucking disaster to deal with first, but it did take them three days to get there. I would imagine there actually were repairs being made on their roads on the first day, as would be normal and to be expected in a first-world nation.
Have none of you been in a disaster in the US? Again, where I'm from, the road crews actually prepare their response, since they've done this before, and need to be out on day one. Since Japan also has severe weather, including regular earthquakes, I'm sure their road crews do the same. Aside from the debacle that was Katrina, the US usually responds very well. How fortunate for you if you've never been in a disaster to observe this.

Level 3? There is no level 3, el douché. But fighting the boss at the end was really cool.

Me and my friend Joe were part of the crew. It's only people under 30 that freaked out. Everyone else had a pretty "normal" reaction. The cleaning lady knew we were up to something, that explains her reaction. Young people are screwed in the head when it comes to human interaction these days.

Man, we live in a "would-a-could-a" society...There are laws against this, but laws don't prevent anything, they're only good after the fact.
The idiot driver knew he was unsafe, that's why there is a word to describe this behavior: negligence.
The other drivers could plainly see the dangerous negligence, therefore no reasonable person would've been caught by this, only the inattentive, and we need (not just desire) a lot fewer of these folks. They learn when they get hurt, and the negligent are made to pay.
The trucker took a risk, as did the person recording this, and everyone else behind them. They all could've pulled over. Continuing to drive after such a dangerous condition was observed would also be negligent.
However, all went well. Can't we appreciate the beautiful explosion of snow now???
You people are the one's that ruin all the "Hey, watch this" moments in life.

Changing the word changes the book.
The word has a definition and a context, and it was used correctly in each instance by Twain, satirizing a society that existed 20 years before the book was published.
It's like we've forgotten that it was offensive even in Twain's time. Do you think he didn't know the baggage it carried when he wrote it?
What has changed since Twain's time is our sensitivity to the word, not the meaning, offensiveness, or use of it. We have the problem. Not the book.

OMG! So not fake! I have a friend in Richmond who is building a house using this technique. He's also growing a garden of corn so high, almost to an elephant's eye, so he and his lady can get busy in the back yard.

WTF? Libraries are socialism. Let the free market make books, movies, and all other media cheap and pervasive. It will be everywhere, and everyone will be able to access it cheaply.

My friend Joe can do that. He'd do it in the mall why we were trying to pick up mall-chicks, the cockblocker. He did it at my house, and left black marks on the floor. Mom was not pleased.

I agree with the man. The team should be renamed to the "Idiot Fundamentalists". Then they could jihad and on the field, showing everyone that there is no discernable difference between any fundamentalist group.

I think you slept through them all. From the Empire's view, that's all they every did.

All you need to know is that Chris Brown is from Humpy Town. Look it up, lard-ass.

I think that's fine if they get marked absent and have to make up work. Just don't tell me that I can't do it. I'm the parent.

Trash on a pole, a novel idea. Whodathunkit?

OMFG! This is so fake. Chris Brown is from Humpy Town, yo!

That is so not fake. I've harnessed butterfly swarms to fly across town before. Easy.
