Baghdad is going on about a previous posting i made, except mine was positive and he just twisted the words around to amuse his sick sense of humour. He tried to copy the jist of my posting by saying the opposite to what I said,thats why he sounds like he has been drinking. He then posted this rant approx 20 times hoping for a response (which he didnt get in the end) I am an Aussie and my best wishes go out to those suffering at the moment.

rheola said...Appears we have another sick American posting, pretending to be an Australian,

rheola, I would say that this person is acturally a Muslim, no normal person speaks like that.. and yes
aussie_smoo could not possibly be an Australian, no one talks like that at a time like this not even in joking..

Does anyone understand what baghdadhere9 is trying to say??? it sounds so jumbled to me.. perhaps he has been drinking....

No ballpen1, communications are going fine, and the media is there both in the air and on land..
Thanks for your thoughts though, and what you said about Ozies..
It has been nice to see the support, as when ever there is a disaster in the world we are always there with money and person to help just as America is, sometimes giving more than most other countries, and it is nice to be getting some of this back for a change. Our country is often under water or fighting fires and as I said already, if the greenies would let burn off''s happen we would only have had a portion of this problem, so the government is as much to blame for allowing the greenies to have this control..

Thank you to those who feel for us here in Australia, you are wonderful to care about our plight.
I live in Brisbane also, where we are living in wonderful weather, it seems strange that far down south that fires are raging and then far up north that water is flooding out towns and will do for a long time yet as the waters come through from the hills inland..

What we have to realise is that MOST of this could have been avoided if the stupid greenies had of let the people do what is called burn off''s so as the undergrowth was burnt to avoid this in hot weather.. but now because of their stupidity and because of people deliberately fighting fires we have over 130 dead.
These people including the greenies have caused mass murder...
Here in Australia any normal person knows that the undergrowth MUST be burnt off during the controllable season so as to avoid fires when the temperatures get massively high in summer..

WOW! What a terrible tragedy. I have had the honor of meeting some of thier countrys''soldiers while t.dy. and they were croos training with United States army.A great group of people,humorous,humble,very very good at thier profession and well I wouldn''t want thier mountain commandos chasing me! I wish them a quick recovery and this will be a unwanted but a oppurtunit to view the aussie people and how they are very capable people and love thier nieghbors.

Dear Fellow Australians & Geniunely concerned Americans,
Please do not enter into the juvenile banter as shown by some of the contributors of this blog. This comparison of tragedies and ''who did what when'' is not important. What past is past and this is now. Continuing to be dragged into the mindless rhetoric of these W****rs only gives them power.
The ANZAC spirit will prevail in this dark time.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims. I just hope this fire burns itself out fast, there seems not a lot for mankind to do about it. And the number of dead people is staggering, compared to the density of population over there.

It may have to do with the australian psyche that the number of casualties is so high. The Aussies are a fiercly independend folk with a "can do" attitude. They fear no man and no thing in the world. And they are the most relaxed, laidback, stable people i know. So they might be ill equipped to handle something of this scale, deviousness and speed.

Also communication may be a problem. While everybody has a satellite dish there is no such thing as a "local" TV station in most cases. So what you hear on the news is stuff happening somewhere, but not in your backyard, and the people on the TV are not as bothered as our local U.S. anchorman would be if HIS house is about to be engulfed in flames.

Just some random thoughts...
