You know Chicky , i think it is explained best by a line in the Harvey Danger song "Flag Pole Sitta".
" Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding"


I know as a kid burning buildings , rocking buses and beating up old ladies were definetley on our list of uncool things to do.

The colour of the skin has nothing to do with it... the fact they were out and about, and lit the fire, is the problem.

Well dont know if any of you have BEEN into freo lately but it seems all the trouble coming outta freo lighting fires or not are from one colour and im not trying to be racists im just saying what i see everyday.

Your right it doesnt matter lighting a fire is lighting a fire either way a slap on the wrist and off they go is all there going to get and leave a nice damage bill behind.

On a positive note im impressed how quick they got caught well done in that case, im guessing the cameras down that way helped a little bit.

The paper today said that a woman had seen 2 young kids come out of there, but the photo of it burning looked impressive, but I'd hate to be the owner with all that work having gone into it.

What I don't get, is nature and glass, and power lines start enough fires, why don't people just become a vollie, then they can go play with it so to speak and get thanked for it etc.

Thank goodness I thought you were going to start stalking me for either A) news special, B) to make sure that I don't. That's all good, I'd rather go and put the fires out, if you start a wildfire it's no good for the marshmellows see, they just go black. :lol:
