    I am not begging for anything. Fortunately, neither I nor any Family Member suffered but read, and you will see what was destroyed and lives lost including those three American Airmen who crewed a water bomber.

    It might also interest you to know that whenever any part of the US has been subjected to fires as we have just experienced, our firefighers go there to assist you. For example:

    Facts are facts, Mrs Seal. Inconvenient they might be...but it is fact.

    We are not the ones on PF insulting a country for years, then panhandling. I dont go to church, ergo i have no "preacher".

    The good news is, Bush Lawyer does not represent his nation well, all Aussies are not America haters who hate and bash the American way of life.

    I am not here to represent my nation, (I post on my own behalf) and I truly hope some posters I have read here do not represent the USA.

    Many of the people you might see as America haters, aren’t. Your President is very polarising. The Presidency is an admirable thing , worthy of respect, but the occupant of the White House doesn’t automatically gain that respect.

    Yep. Every single one that sticks his (or her) head above the parapet has proved to be a greedy, lying scumbag who would sell their soul for a bit more swag.

    K...given your compelling evidence, I really don't care as it just comes from a hate filled opinion. ...

    Exactly. The difficulty is that some here reckon POTUS = the USA. Nah.

    I just found this thread and I'm so sorry you guys have such a poor opinion about Australians. Yeah, we trash talk Americans but it's like a big brother little brother thing. For the most part, we love you guys.

    You're right, we are liberal in many ways, we have socialised health care and most of you don't like our gun control. I like those things but I also understand they work well in OUR context and the last thing people (who have probably never even never been to the USA) should be doing is lecturing in a deriding fashion.

    I don't like Trump the man and I doubt many here would choose him as a fishing buddy (he'd never ****) but the democrats at the moment are a bloody horror show and until they have some kind of a top down reformation or enlightenment, they don't deserve to win.

    I see it this way, if the dems can't win against a pompous braggadocious man of dubious morals, the derision should be saved for the party that has gone so far into the weeds they can't even win against a clown. :)

    Now back to the fires. The main cause of the fires was not arsonists, terrorists, global warming or land management issues.
    We've had a horrible protracted drought which lasted for many years and in many places it's been too dry and dangerous to even do hazard reductions burns. Even places which very recently had reduction burns had high intensity fires.

    The left side of politics in Australia has been disgusting during this crisis, even calling our Prime Minister an arsonist.
    The truth is this. We're the driest continent of the planet, we had a drought and it all caught fire. Simple.

    Here's a poem written in 1932 which is considered to convey the heart and soul of our country. I'll post just a few lines.

    I love a sunburnt country,
    A land of sweeping plains.
    Of ragged mountain ranges,
    Of droughts and flooding rains.

    For flood and fire and famine
    She pays us back threefold.

    I am not sure you can credibly smear the entire 'left side' of politics in Australia, but it is true that this reporter did imply Morrison is an arsonist. This article is worth a read, and please look at the videos in it. It demonstrates an aspect of the manner in which Australians do not 'like' PMs being 'showmen.'

    We are not shy about telling our PM to far cough.

    Don't talk this way about Democrats and expect to get a pass. They are trying to egg you into posting something they can report.
