We had a lot of forest fires this summer, as we do every summer. I don't know the exact number for this year, but for example in 2003. we had 6924 fires in the countryside, and in 2004. we had 2855 such fires. That's a lot for country this size.

Police found evidence that a lot of them where deliberately caused.

My favorite one is a moron that had a fight with his girlfriend, went out of the house and started a fire that burnt his family's weekend house and a large part of mountain Velebit, including some parts of a national park. It took a week to put it out.

A couple of other idiots where also caught this year.

One of them was an Italian tourist that had a flat tire, abandoned his car and started a fire next to the road. No one knows why!

What are appropriate sanctions for such morons?

Some times they just get fined (with no prison), and some times they get charged with "endangering life and property with a dangerous act". That's cca 2-3 years of prison.

I think that should be a terrorist act if the person is not mentally ill and if it was intentional. I'm sick and tired of these morons and of the damage they do!!!

The electric chair

I was thinking more like 20-30 years in prison with planting trees all the time. That's against the law, because you can not force anyone to work in prison, but that's bullshit.

If you knew how to start a fire you know how to plant a couple of thousand trees.

To become mature, a forrest needs more than this period ...
In the last years of Ceausescu, he decree the death sentence for all fires in the farm fiels or forrests. Today, innaplicable

Well Ceausescu is a special kind, one of my favorite "lunatics". "One of the best", there's a couple of morons competing with him for the "first place award". But that's a bit off topic here (the discussion about Ceausescu).

What would be applicable in you opinion?

Well, in my opinion, is very simple: for every tree destroyed, must to plant ten. After ten years, if those trees are still stand up, your criminal record is erased, you're clean. Until then, you are a deliquent.

Unfortunately yesterday in a fire on Kornati islands five firemen died, and six are fighting for their life this moment , plus twelve more are injured

The criminal should plant 15X the number of trees.
When he finishes he is free to go!
