This is serious news. The worst natural disaster in Australian history. And there's suspected that there's an arson behind all of it. This is no laughing matter for you people in America.
For me this is honestly sad how people lost everything.

Those fucking pieces of shits who caused those fire, I hope they're locked away for eternity.

americans have been laughing? hmmm (thinks angry, violent thoughts)

yes the situation in victoria is terrible. my sympathies go out to all those affected by the tragedy.

Yes its tragic im from brisbane hope the death tole doesnt rise

It's not a natural disaster if it was arson.

True story.

my math teacher was talking about this the other day. it sounds just terrible. he told us that they think someone lit it in a valley and because the grass was so dried out and winds were up to 60 miles an hour, the fire spread like... well, wildfire. the fire was moving so fast even people in cars couldn't outrun it.

Ya aussie bushfires are deadly

/laugh

Man its not laughable its tragic

Oh dear

I live in victoria and i was pretty close to the fires.
My uncle actually saved his house in King Lake which was one of the worst hit areas.
I couldn't get to school because most of the roads were blocked.

We were driving down this highway and there were literally about 50 burnt cars, most likely with people inside them.
It looked like a scene out of a movie or something, scary stuff.

You're telling me hundreds of people burning alive isn't funny?
Faggot.

Not all of it was arson.

Forgot to care, went through it in the South AND in the Southwest, no one in the world gave a shit about us.

Stuff burns. Don't like it? Stop being so dry.

I read the death toll could get up to 300. And this is just a few days ago from the people saying it might get up to 200.

I love fire.

finally someone who understands. especially if the thread has the words 'bush' and 'dick' in it.

My bush is on fire

Isn't that like 'Sex on Fire', except it's a joke aimed against all those that died in the arson attacks?

I don't often take the moral highground, don't get used to it.

Calm down, Jack.

This was headline news on the paper the other day. I was quite upset reading some of the surviving townsfolk talk about it afterwards.
What a horrid incident.
And the fact that the fires were set on purpose...

who can't outrun a fire? srsly.

Just to give you an idea of how fast they are, they spread at 150k an hour

Yeah fireballs engulfing villages and all that shit. Been reading about it for days now, wonder if anyone signed up on here died...

I recently heard a fella on the bus say, "What happens to your facebook when you die?"

My friend was in Victoria for his holiday and his mum and his stepdad broke up or some shit and he was going to live there. But then his mum and his step dad. If they stayed up there, they would be very fucking close to the fires.

im from victoria, luckily i wasnt very close to any of the fires. i think its really sad about all the lives that were lost, and i hate that some of it was arson

I miss the the hollocaust.

It's sad. But it's no more tragic than all the people dying in Palestine...then again, it's so much easier to care about people in modern, "civilized" countries.
