Kyoto University Students' Protest: "Stop Calling Murder A Science!" (Oct. 1, 2011)

This video is part of the confrontation at Kyoto University on October 1, between Dr. Sentaro Takahashi, Vice Director of Research Reactor Institute of Kyoto University, and the Kyoto University students who are members of Zengakuren (National Federation of Students' Self-Government Associations).

Dr. Takahashi was responsible for organizing the public lecture by Dr. Yoshiya Shimada of National Institute of Radiological Sciences, who is known for his claim that radiation exposure up to 100mSv/yr is safe. The students had been opposing the lecture, but Dr. Takahashi decided to go ahead and refused to let them in.

To the original video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eLc5MaptqM&feature), there are many comments from people who actually live in Fukushima, thanking the students for standing up for them.

The students are speaking in a harsh-sounding western accent, which is untranslatable. Please supplement the subtitles with the sounds of their speech.

This is a powerful vid.

"Stop calling Murder a science"

I think is the most applicable quote to describe Nuke technology.

This is a good video

People are getting more and more aggressive as they get tired of the constant run-around by the government and "scientists" etc.

This guy was saying all the right things but too bad he was talking to someone that only sees dollar signs instead of his own people suffering.

Good job you are amazing!

組織を私物化する人間が出現すると、組織の生命力は低下する。

正しき人間がリーダーシップをとるべき

冒頭だけ見て判断すると、この学生達の熱意は福島県民の味方だと­思った。学者は悪魔だと思った。

needs more views. Americans lost this ability to forcefully argue many years ago. Not sure what happened but it's not 1967 any more "For What It's Worth" watch?v=KuGcwa03SQw

not to forget: they are telling the students: have respect ...

it's important to be respectful - but not everybody deserves RESPECT.

[FutureDeleted]

... and this leads us to the point where scientists are teaching the WRONG stuff, adulating the sponsors - which are: politicians and economical leaders who are typically using exactly the same arguments, (media follows, they want the advertisements/money).

That's thought control. If you finished your studies you have to make your decision:

SELL you SOUL and your patents or be a poor guy without being able to feed a family.

All the ideas are owned by the industries the moment you sign a contract.

理系の論争ではなく倫理の論争になってるから具体的なやりとりに­なってないんだな

多分この左翼学生は文系だろ？

何にしても後ろで笑ってるおっさんからはこれぞ大学生のあるべき­姿という喜びが伝わる

俺もＦランク大学生だったが、最近の学生には珍しく大学ではどん­どん教授に喰いついた

教授はそのほうが講義が面白くなってまんざらでもない様子だった­

@007bratsche Yes, they are very brave, because as long as they do not do anything criminal, such as physically attack someone, they are in no danger at all.

[antiochus66]

fantastic..

we need more angry people in japan..

scientists by telling lies and keeping quite taking money are murderers.
