lol dude .. australia's big, they're no where near any of us at the moment. I live in a bad area for bushfires, but i think everyone else is in the suburbs. So no worries. We've never had a bushfire, our house burnt down, but no bushfire ... yet.

Well for the sakes of people who have been affected or could be my heart goes out to them. See over here we have it lucky no major things like that really happen appart from terrorist attacks but thats different and its world wide. I see on the news though about how the Ice caps are melting evan faster now and at the point of no return. You can tell the difference in the weather already over here like its supposed to be winter cold and icey but its like spring allready are spring flowers already growing. This worlds going to change dramatically. Not trying to spoke anyone or put you on a downer but this is whats happening due to us the human race.

Its all about religion and race which is wrong but thats what fuels these wars. Would be nice to live in harmony with everyone but whats the chances of that?

dude i totally agree but i sort of theink that we should have left the iraqis and afganis and all other waring nations to do wat they want. i eman fine if they want to blow each other up , i say let them. i only think we should do something if they threaten us (allied peoples)

Apart from the serioud side, the only thought that popped into my head = "this definitely wasn't posted by someone that was affected"

People getting along? When is that going to happen... don't hold your breath. If you watched Penn and Teller: B.S. on how the government controls us, you'd seriously be amazed. Like recycling - doesn't help the environment....only can recycling does, paper - doesn't. It costs councils $50 to take normal trash and $150 for recyclables.... in the end they end up in the same tip... I was so shocked.... but i guess, the power to control the majority lies with those in the minority. Meh - as long as they don't affect me, I don't care...or do I? lol... Makes for a good conversation - but not at social events...trust me, I tried..lol
