Those for Australia all tell of the trauma of the fires.

Heartbreaking stuff.

I'm not trying to take away from the obvious tragedy that this is but its absolutely terrible that this fire gets so much press and those who perpetrated it are branded as "mass murderers" when the incident in Palestine gets passed off as an "operation" and those who perpetrated it killing over 1000 innocent civilians were simply "defending themselves".

In this world, you surely do need a licence to kill. Disgracefull

Hello all. Living in Australia has woken us up to what the human race can be in both extremes in the past few days.
The extreme of hundreds of people being burnt alive is gruesome so say the least. The death toll so far almost 200. Very sad indeed.
The upside of this is the mongrels looting these burnt out homes. Others are robbing each other in the safety zone shelters when no one is looking.

This makes you wonder if we had a world wide disaster, we would all turn to savages, no more than animals trying to survive. How long till we would be killing each other for something to eat.
Sorry to rant on but i am very passionate about life and the past few days has taught me how short it is. Cherrish every moment.
