Another mental midget. What is so special about these fires?????????? This is not some sort of perverse contest to see who has the most lethal and damaging bushfire or who wins the award for most fire savy nation of the year. This is a discussion about what has happened to thousands...

.............when you're sitting safely in front of your computer in a home/place that isn't facing the effects of the bushfire. It's interesting how people react to events like the Victorian Bushfires. Mostly it is with generosity, selflessness and compassion, and then there are those who...

You continue to troll despite the fact that many Australians are feeling the impact of a real tragedy. The implication in your post that Australians are a bunch of racists who will make an aboriginal or migrant a scapegoat for the bushfires is not just wrong it is offensive. Your post has been...

1. Particularly at the right wing ideologues arguing against the US government bail out on the grounds that the market would correct its self and blaming the crisis on the poor for being bad credit risks. 2. And at the die hard supporters of Dubya - if there are any who will still admit to...

You're not the only one - it appears the OP was being a bit selective, China should also have got a mention. The OP is also disregarding the tiresome way in which many of his fellow countrymen bang on about the evil English and their sins as compared to the long suffering and innocent Irish -...

On the first day God created Marmite and on the second day he realised he'd stuffed up and created Vegemite. And as an act of love gave it to his chosen people in the land of Oz - and the people were happy! Marmite sucks - Vegemite rules!

Teachers in Texas have got .45 reasons why their students are well behaved - guns must = civilised society?

They play at their best and lose to a better team, so be it - there haven't been too many of those in the past 15 years. :p The forthcoming tour of India will probably remind us what it's like to lose.

Aussie Rules and Cricket. Rugby Union, Basketball, Soccer, Tennis, Netball, Surfing, Horse Racing, Motor Sports and any of the sports we win gold medals at the Olympics catch the interest from time to time.
