Original Godzilla In U.S. Theaters
saudadelinux writes "The original Gojira is in theaters now through July. See the *uncut Japanese version* of the film as it was really meant to be seen, as a serious anti-nuke picture, not just Saturday afternoon UHF fodder."
I see you've reverted to older forms of romanization.. nowdays, 'zi' and 'di' are (unfortunately, imho) written as they are pronounced, ie. 'ji'
Canadian's are traditionally viewed as non-threatening, so most people have no beef with them
America is another story, not to mention American buildings are more well known.

Go ahead and laugh. As soon as North Korea finishes their nuke(s), you'll see Japan go nuclear faster than you can say, "irrishaimase". Japan has been living with a foreign-written constitution for a long, long time, and there's substantial support for throwing it out and becoming a real nation again.

Correct. Additionally, fast breeder reactors, or breeder-burners achieve excellent efficiency. They start with Uranium-235, but in the process of using it, they "breed" Plutonium-239, which they can then turn around and use for additional fuel.
The reason these reactors are not in widespread usage is political, not technical. Governments (i.e. the U.S., China, France, UK, and Russia) don't want a lot of plutonium being created in commercial reactors because of its potential use as a weapon.
Yes, U-235 can be used in a weapon, but "weapons-grade" uranium must be enriched to ~90% U-235. Commercial reactors can run with a much lower enrichment percentage, which makes governments less nervous.
You said: "You are not creating energy, since the mass in energy in itself, it is what there's no law of convervation of mass, you just need the law of conservation of energy, since mass is energy ...
Sorry that I got to nitpick your nitpick:
Mass and energy are both human terms. They have no inherent meaning beyond how we interpret them. But one of our interpretations is that energy can do work. Now its fairly obvious that mass can be converted to energy and then do the work, but my point is, as far as interpreting as a linguist (which I am certainly not), mass and energy are certainly different. Now you can say mass is energy and energy is mass as long as you want but you have to be careful that you don't lose your meaning when you do so. For example, I can easily say that an electron has a mass of about 0.5 MeV, but I certainly wouldn't measure the mass of an apple in Joules.

America is another story, not to mention American buildings are more well known.
I take exception to that... being familar with mainstreem sci-fi I find it more common then not to see scenes of Vancover or Torronto. Heck, many a Jackie Chan flick have been filmed in Canada including Rumble in the Bronx if I spy my mountains correctly.
I will admit that I don't often see a huge Mozilla running around Victoria for example... but because of the amounts of movies filmed in Canada it wouldn't shock me in the slightest.
