[Dalpra]

Oh yes, another thread about Americans only thinking about America, what about the bush fires that rage Australia every year? And no doubt just about everywhere in the world, but no, it's all about America.

 

[ghostehh]

i agree with TDD , its always about America isnt it?

 

[Macroman]

You know what makes me really sick?

The majority of the fires were lit onpurpose by arsenists.
So many houses went up in flames and yet they are to blame.

I think cuz theres always something happening in america, as if god is angry at them!

Anyways have any of you noticed how fast the people were helped by the government compared to the katrina hurricane in New Orleans a few years back? Yepp still alot of racism in america, and government!

katrina was diferent..
they told the people to leave, and the people that stayed, even if the people were poor and couldn't leave, they were given a chance, but didn't. every1 was given a chance to leave..
they tryed to evacuate people before it happened, they gave warning, they even gave people chances to leave the area free.
the people that stayed behind were given a chance to leave, they just chose not to, thats why theres a diference in how fast help got there.
the whole place was also flooded during katrina, making it harder to rescue people.

Because we all love ourselves, and people qouldn't want us to go out of country to help someone again. LMAO

Yeah they are idiots for staying had like a week to leave, but a lot of people there is really poor and couldn't afford to just leave. I think the average houselhold income is less then 15 thousand a year. (I am not sure so don't quote me. I dont feel like looking for it.)

Man i saw some dudes house on the news, he was a news reporter and all that was standing was his stairs leading to the second floor.
It was extremely tragic but very few died I think.
Be glad it's out now,
Is the guy caught yet?

 

[Tyson]

I neither live there nor care.

So every year Australia has fires that do hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage and kill several people? No.
And are you telling me that the rest of the world is heavily reporting the California fires too? A country it only obligated to publish their own news, not the rest of the world's.

 

[tomer2410]

i think the fire was man made and progressed
but i wouldent own up to it LOL by the way i live in oklahoma

 

[Geόrge]

Sythe has a large majority of americans. That's why most of the talk is about america. If most of the community was australia, most of the talk would be about australia.

correct, but it was well over 1 billion dollars(considering that some of the homes ran above $50m each that doesnt seem to bad haha).

but yes i live in orange coutny where the first arsonist fire was set. well we got out of p.e. for a week haha, uhh a lot more people were in town from san diegeo because 300,000 people were evacuated. it didnt really affect me much but it was major. also they call it the california fire storm, idk where you got bush fires from haha.

 

[chindude]

I dunno Australian bush fires to a hell of alot of damage. They also kill kangaroos =(. What would the world do without kangaroos?

 

[TDD]

Canberra bush fires http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Canberra_bushfires
and fires that rage across out country every year. Can't think of others off the top of my head.

And are you telling me that the rest of the world is heavily reporting the California fires too? A country it only obligated to publish their own news, not the rest of the world's.

Sadly yes, we are getting reports of it. Your views might be that obligation, but I bet my bottom dollar the most of America think otherwise.

Yeah, it's very annoying. Someone thinks they are a bad ass because they burned down houses.

And to answer the topic's question, no, the wild fires did not effect me.
