Glad you're okay!

haha what if all of australia went up ini flames that would b funny

damn...i can not imagine

no words

10 bucks says someone here on ng will make a game about this.

Apparently started by fuckin arsonists

how about instead of donating money people donate water.

It's fucking disgraceful. My mother's brother lives there, and his house was the only one left standing in his street. He could see the fire from his front door. I hope the pricks that started it get caught.

or maybe a wet towel.

I live in Melbourne. I saw the aftermath of part of the freeway that was on fire when I went to visit one of the towns outside Melbourne. The ground was completely black. Smoke was everywhere. It's absolutely terrible.

Thanks to everyone who is giving Victoria support, and contributing in any way.

It's because they are stupid is why they do it.

"Oh, look at me, I'm so cool...i mean HOT, lighting up this bush." *Teenager lights up bush. Friend says "Dude, you're on fire. You should light some more busheseseses" "YEA, LET"S BE REBELIOUS" "For no raison" "YEAH" "DUUUUH....." * Lights up moar bushes............

At least that's what I think they are thinking :[

Transaction Complete.

Donated $50, just be thankful this dident happen to you, rubber.

Horay for Anarchy

First poor Darcy Freeman was thrown over the Westgate Bridge by her father now this... >:(

I'm from Victoria, and my God I was shittin meself about tha inferno man!!!! :O It's a vision of Hell!!! fortunately i don't live in da bush though, but I'm so donating to tha appeal dude!! tha statisitcs are worst then the Ash Wednesday fire. And I don't belive the bush could just set themselves on fire, it's those ARSONISTS to blame, bloody lil scabs! grrrr! >:(

Anyone who doesn't live in Australia, DON'T EVER JOKE ABOUT THIS!!!

That's Horrible.

Yeah. Its awful. 5 Of my sisters friends died.

Its quite heartfelt that so far Australians have donated a huge amount to the appeal. My best mate had told me 4 of his mates have lost their houses and im quite shocked at the death toll now. Ill be donating twice tomorrow with a blood and money donation as my other friends here in SA have friends over there.

Also the fact that ive also just learnt that two fires were deliberately lit here today... i have family that live near where they did it and i don't want to go through what Victorians are going through now.

Arson has always = Murder to me

OH dude..I heard about that on the News just today.

Take about a hell's fire.

Harsh...glad your okay.

No shit about fire-fighters starting things like this before? That sickens me, my stepdad would probably be digusted. Either case hope they get what's coming to them. I'll try to donate if more commissions come in.

Heard about this a few days ago. Thank god my relatives are in Melbourne and safe. I really think all this is global warming. Do you thing it's arson though?

I tried to donate but I don't have a credit card. Do you know if there are any sites contributing to this that take paypal? That's my only means to do it

i live in country victoria I'm scared :(

Imagine if it all started as a prank :l
wow those boys are in trouble

:( my friend lost her grandmother to the fire in bendigo

I grew up in Hurstbridge which is a few towns away from Kinglake. I spent the night at my parents house there waiting to help if they needed to evacuate, but the wind changed and it moved back to the north. It's left me completely shellshocked, my mates dad is dead, and loads of people I grew up with are effected by it. It's just plain fucked.

fuckin arsonists they'll get what they deserve. man glad ur ok rubberninja

Queenslande here. I can not believe what happend. Im asking my parents if we can donate

I really hate to see this stuff. I hope those I know are ok.

I donated 10 fine dollars to this worthy establishment.

181 dead, and thousands homeless. and the fires are still going. i hope they catch the arsonists, and i hope they get life sentences.

Jesus, thats quite a large death toll. Raging fires over the land of Australia. Doesn't this happen like, a few times a year? You'd think they know a way to stop it...
But hey, donation has been made. Just 10, but at least its something, I guess.

You coming to Amsterdam NG meet by the way? Yes please.

Well... That is just absolutely horrible and ruined my good mood. :(

Good to hear from you again though :D

Except it's bad news... :(

i wonder how many NG members lost everything...

Donated 20 dollars...i really cant afford more, or i would

hey i donated so i can make a $20 joke...

Well there goes the neighborhood

/joke

I'm the firestarter. You're the firestarter.

Im the bitch you hated, filth infatuated.
Yeah. Im the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated.

so lets see, if the charge for murder is twenty years, and theirs been 170 victims.. then the dude who did this is going away for about 3400 years. that or he's going to get 170 consecutive life terms. either way he's in deep shit. does australia have the death penalty in effect?

Christ, I know people that live in Australia. Better catch the tossers that started it.

burn Australia,
BURN!

I remeber seeing in Discovery, a supposed "Perfect Disaster" which was a great fire(in Australia), that only the rain could stop. I also heard that there are lots of pyromaniacs in Australia... Hope they catch them.

I would donate if I wasn't a 13 year old bastard with no credit card. I'm feel really sorry for all the people in Victoria. I don't know what I'd do in a fire. Probably just run outside to where it's not on fire, mainly because it's not as dry here in Sweden and the fire doesn't grow very well in snow.

Thank the heavens almighty your alive! I was worried you might be gone.
But don't worry just hope for the best and things will be fine

as usual, leave it to WPS to keep things classy

Im near the fires, apparently just half an hour to 45 minutes drive away. I would donate but i have no money to give atm :(

I bet the firestarter is this badass fucking aboriginal with a flamethrower
and he's like
KILL WHITEY

hell yeh

Oh my god, glad it wasnt in you'r area... :/ I hope they catch whoever did this shit.. :/ Im gonna make a donation when i home... Take care mate!

Thanks for donating to Australia, it's like hell on earth here. We really need the donations at this point

Here in California we get big wildfires rather frequently (maybe like twice annually), though I don't think they get big enough to kill over a hundred people.

One time I woke up in my house all alone and the sky was orange. I walked outside to find that it was raining ash, the sun was bright red, and no one was in sight. Pretty freaky.

I sympathize with the people in the fire. If I wasn't already in broke/in debt I'd probably help out.

sorry, americans already gave away all their money to obama.

Cunts should be put under the death sentence for all this.

I am Fucking Appalled!!!!!! my mates are down there and me and their parents cannot contact them! i do not know if they are safe homeless or dead and all you guys can do is joke about how funny it would be if all of Aus burnt down or donating water!?!? Get a fucking life!!!!!!!!

I would donate, but I can't help but wonder how our money would help stop random unknown firestarters from igniting more flames.
You know?

here's hoping it ends soon, yeah?

America is so fucking stupid, I haven't heard shit about this but I did hear about this house that got knocked over by a tornado and 3 people got injured. Glad we have our priorities straight.

That picture is so breathtaking you want to believe it is a photoshop.

Keep us posted because our news is apparently very busy with this whole 3 injury thing.

We had some wildfires here in San Diego last year, there was an excess of relief volunteers at the local stadium and many people banded together to try and help the area get back on its feet. Also some of my relatives live in Sydney and I hope they're doing ok. I hope things work out over there and the asshat-douche fags die in the mess that they were retarded enough to start.

I'm going to donate money. It looks pretty god damn scary.

Its funny, i Live in Canberra.. which happens to be between The Queensland Floods and the Bushfires.. and i think this is where our australian spirit comes in handy, cause Those Queenslanders have donated their relief money to the fires in Victoria.. Australian banks each have commited around 1 Million dollars.. and i think Australiais just as dangerous as it is wonderful

Ah, this is all I see on the news. What's the count now? Over 200? It just keeps going up, hard to keep track.

I chucked in $40 during the one day match against New Zealand.

Do the same, guys.

Wow. I really wish I had some money to donate here, but, alas, I don't. No amount of justice, meted out quite harshly, could ever compensate for what the arsonists have done.

Glad you're okay, here's hoping no-one else dies in the fires.

Its ironic that up here in sydney its been cloudy and rainy for the past 3 or 4 days.

Boiling hot down there, freezing cold up here.

Yeah, hearing this all over the news right now. Thank god I live in Adelaide. . . But it's a high chance of it happening here, quite hot atm.

Anyway, it's good you brought this issue up, keep lot's of people informed on whats happening right now :)

My holiday house was burnt down :(

60 Fine Dollars Donated.... Hope you're ok Rubber and i hope that all of those people find peace again...

I hope they catch these bastards soon. These dirty rotten stains on society should be put to death.

i was gonna post something like this

i kinda alerted tom to the situation tho :)

damn
i wish i could donate all of bill gates money
but stealing is wrong
i donated 5 bucks

i donated 100 dollars

me and my friends all donated to makke that 100 bucks

Seems like a good cause. Too bad I don't have a credit card. :(

lets see if we can hit the 3 big 0's

i hear the authorities found a suspect in the case. i bet your happy to here that am i right?

If you're really in a charitable mood, there are some MUCH better places to send your money. I don't mean to sound mean, but why pay to rebuild a house when you could help find a cure for a disease or educate a community, things that will carry into the future?

The Bunnings that I work at (and I'd expect the other stores around Australia) had a few people carrying around donation tins there. I think the store's having a barbecue over the weekend to raise money too. I emptied the change from my wallet for the cause. I just feel so lucky to be over here in little ol' Perth, far away from it all. How can you or I, or anyone for that matter, comprehend all that was lost in the fires?

1861 homes destroyed. 3000 people displaced. 181 dead. :'(

Hey, I'm from Ballarat in Victoria and today the town was FILLED with the smoke that has been blown over from Melbourne. Lots of people were stressing about there being a fire close by but luckily there was none.

The police have a sketch and a license plate of a person/s that possibly started on of the fires. The guy on the news who filmed his house fire is enraged and most likely wants the arsonists dead (judging from all the "If I find the arsonists" comments he made on the video) and I don't blame him.

(So far) this fire luckily hasn't affected me directly, but in the next couple of weeks anything's possible.

Thanks for making NG aware and hopefully this could bring a little more relief to the victims and their families.

I've got the same problem hdd has. No credit card.

Sure is raining a lot here in Sydney.
Wet and chilly....i wouldn't mind a nice fire to cozy up to.

damn thats fucked up

It looks like they found one of the scummy, despicable creatures that did this. It also turns out he's a fucking pedophile, too.

A maximum of 40 years isn't nearly long enough in my opinion...

I would donate if I could, but unfortunately i'm lacking a god damned credit card =(

AHAHAH SUCKS2BU

arsonist pedophiles

fuck thats badass

86 Million dollars raised through the Red cross so far.. Amazing!

My godparents live in Horsham, but thankfully they survived. There are kids in my school with family who have died, it's horrible seeing how sad they look.

I heard some people are scamming others by making fake red cross donation sites and keeping the profits for themselves. I'm not accusing you of anything or something like that. Just saying that you could warn people about it and tell them to be careful.

Thats terrible! People losing homes dying...i hope that smoeone didnt start this,but if they did i hope they get caught and get what they deserve. P.S. Paryl, you sicken me.

P.P.S lol, okay someone did start the fires. I hope his accomplices get caught as well. Stupid pedophile.

I'm live in Australia, but I'm up in Townsville, so instead of Bushfire's we get floods, and they have been getting bad with all the rain lately.
I'm going to donate... They all need our help.
So if you have a heart, or even some spare time, please donate, every little bit helps.
We NEED Your Help

How does this not warrant a death penalty? 170 lives lost is a massacre (that word doesn't even do it justice)

By any chance did any smoke or ash blow over to your side of the country?

I'm poor, so i gave blood

I just got out of the hospital, I have 3rd degree burns on my legs and feet.

I may never walk again. ):

jklol

But the fires were pretty close to me.

Your lucky you're not in melbourn like some of us... Past few days have been smokey joe :(

Damnit, i wish there was an edit button. Sorry for double up.

But yeah, I was supposed to head to Marysville for camp, but thats not happening. Luckily all the staff that worked there havent been harmed.

Your a good person for making people aware of this. :D
I'm gonna add you to my news post for lulz, nobody looks at my page anyway, but when they do!

Thanks for making this post, man.

oh my god

So not to make light of a bad situation, i did find that airfare to melbourne and those areas are at an alltime low right now. Im tentatively thinking about quickly setting up an Australia meet in April. I'd have to talk to you more bout it

100th COMMENT

I really hope things turn out for the better, there is even some words flying out around here about how terrible it was. :(

IMMA FIRIN MAH' FIRETRUCK!
