@igasigas no i dont, you pricks are heartless, i kinda wish some flood would take your house and pets away from you, but in the other hand im not like you, its not exactly funny. peoples lives are being taken away from them, concider yourself lucky.

[MusicMatty93]

@igasigas and theres the others (myself) who cant leave there street and are probably going to be flooded tomorrow morning. Am i saying shit happen? no. Look around you where nu are. take it all in, than think tonight could be your last night with it all. ur pets, your house, your car, the things you value. And for some maybe family. Not a joke.

@killman0130 So MusicMatty93, bet your felling like a real fucking asshole bout now! ay?

@MusicMatty93 hey here are some of the thing that the people in them 6000 homes told me;

#Shit happens

#Mind your own business

#Forget the past

Well look like they got what was comming to them

I feel sad for the Cats and dogs and such but I belive they have something humans don't, free will.

Again I am sorry you had to experience these things- God be with you always, and especially during this horrible time- and you are always welcome in America, certainly Texas- may it always remind you of home when you visit, and be a good home to you if you decide to stay. God Bless you Austrailia!

[killman0130]

Guys, I'm American and after Katrina (hurricane)- even though i live in Texas (alot like Austrailia I hear) after seeing the mass groups of people that migrated from Louisiana into our state for asylum from the hurricane tradgedy, my heart goes out to you! I can't begin to understand fully what it was like to dodge mini-busses and 55 mile per hour waterflows. I am saddend for the loss of life and if I was there i would have helped as best i could. 

[MusicMatty93]

@igasigas You think brisbane is going to get "pwnd!" i think you you should put yourself in 1 of those the brisbane families life. 6000 homes in brisbane are going to get destroyed. Hell i could be one and i dont even know it. Imagaine tommorrow, or the next day... there just going to be a random flash flood and take you and all your friends houses. Dont really think thats a joking matter. Look around at what yoiu have. They are evacuateing people, but if u have pets, they must stay home its sad

[igasigas]

@MusicMatty93 nah man from Queensland, townsville.

as far as i have seen most Americans are patriotic and are a bunch of nice people. You here it all the time australians bagging yanks about this, that, or the other and the facket is that they're the not even as half as bad as cock head up them self yobbo austrlains trying to big note them selfs by putting others down.

So no I am not an "american selfish prick. I am just a standard Australian.
