    Forest Fires Sparked by Islam Extremists?

    Does anyone else.... actually believe this?

    Forest fires are causing substantial damage here in Oz. Nearly 200 and climbing. Coupled with the worst heat on record, we're in for a rough ride over in the Eastern States.

    The forest fires in North America just this past summer have been claimed to be sparked by arsonists. Ditto here in Oz - because of the temperatures, we restrict back-burning until the Southern Winter, circa late May.

    Actually, the current belief is that our fires were started by lightning strikes.
    The arsonist claim was made by terrorism-fearing nutters who want attention.
    Clearly, the terrorists have moved to the world's largest island.
    Just kidding. Have any of the fires damaged important structures as of yet, i.e. residential areas/government buildings?

    Gross - several towns don't even EXIST any more and the death toll is at about 200 people and climbing. Half of Victoria is ash. This fire is fucking terrifying, and I live across the water.

    I found out this afternoon that my hometown is probably going to be burning tonight. I feel sick - that town is about the only place in the world that I don't hate.

    Yea, I read about that in the paper yesterday. I'm glad we don't get those kinds of fire up here in the north.

    What's not to believe? These fucktards hate infidels & the west with an obsession, and I expect sending out mentally handicapped people as suicide bombers isn't their lowest.

    Australia's own fault for not attracting enough rain.

    Yeah, seriously, maybe if you had treated your Aboriginals a bit better, they'd do a rain dance for you or something. KINDA TOO LATE NOW.

    It's also Australia's fault for being THE DEADLIEST FUCKING PLACE ON EARTH. What's a little fire compared to all the vicious little creatures y'all have?

    Nothing ever gets Rosie. If anything, she got the god-damn tree.

    This also means that Rosie is Jesus.

    DE and I coexist, as long as we don't both suffer horrific accidents at exactly the same time neither one of us can die.

    Good to see you back Rosie, how are the fish and cubes?

    I don't see why you have to hit the tree at the exact same time.

    Because one instantly regenerates the other. If the time we both hit the tree differ by only a fraction of a nanosecond we'll both be fine.
