true story

judging from the facebook comments i see from the guys studying in brisbane, i'd never imagined the floods were that bad until i watched the australian news channel last night. and oh my, IT WAS BAD.

there were literally entire houses (with occupants) being washed away by the floods, the military wanted to destroy some floating restaurants before they broke loose and started crashing into things. the entire CBD was shut down, electricity cut, it was a disaster.

all i see on fb is people worrying about where their cars are parked since they're back for the holidays and can't save the cars from the evil floodwaters, and then once they realise their cars are safe, they start to lol here and lol there. and there are those who wanna head down into the CBD to gawk at the floods, and are considering moving elsewhere to study because brisbane is gonna take quite some time to recover.

these people are just a transient group with no loyalty nor connection to the place. when shit happens, they just lol here and there, and then think of fucking off to better lands... which made me think of my own country. filled with a large population of foreigners and migrants, if anything happens we can rest assured that they'll all disappear and we can pick of the pieces by ourselves.
