This has truly ruined my day.

Suppose it kind of like that *cough* great *cough* mathematician who died a few years ago. He was tipped for the Nobel prize, touted as the new Einstein then went and did a 100ft Bungee jump with a 150ft cord.

XD Is that true? That .. just wow.

Yep completely true, I've been scouring a few news archives to find the article, I read it on the Register, but I've not had any luck. The story is about five or six years old though.

Fine, im posting again >.>...

You should get hit by a truck (is this the subject now?) if you laugh at someone's death and their family who lost a dear person to them, because thats what you deserve for being a heartless bastard, much like what someone deserves when they risk their life and die in an accident, because they are stupid.

Actually, if the trucker who ran you over dies, thats what he deserves aswell, driving is dangerous and he should know that.

Actually, dont breathe, theres bacteria in the air, who knows what may happen... and if you die from it, you should know better not to breathe bacteria into your lungs, hah!

Let the quotation begin.

Re: Crikey! The Croc. Hunter is dead!

Shame someone who devoted their life to improvin peoples knowledge atthe risk of his own life dies, that way. But he died doing what he loved best.
Steve may have been trying help humanity and the animal world with his shows and such, but is humanity really worth helping?

I'm out..

Re: Crikey! The Croc. Hunter is dead!

I'm not sure if any of you are from Australia at all, but as an Aussie, I find this news very, interesting.

It's a very sad thing that has happened, as ironic as it appears. However, something I wanted to say, was that before his death, there was a general consensus about Steve Irwin. Now, I'm not saying everyone here in Oz feels that way, but if you asked a lot of Australians what they thought of Steve Irwin, you would hear various replies that he was irritating, an idiot, and an embarassment to 'real' Australians. But if you asked non-Australians what they thought, you would hear replies of the opinion that he was a legend, the funniest thing on television, the list goes on.

Only now since his death do many, many Australians feel the same way.

That, is something I lol at.

Re: Crikey! The Croc. Hunter is dead!

Dirtyclown called him an idiot. Can you explain why? Is it because he hanged around dangerous animals? If so, then your stupidity can not be countered and is not worth thinking about. Honestly, he may of acted like someone careless on TV, but he was very smart. He knew more than you or I will ever know about animals. He is one of the few famous people who became famous for doing something he did before he was famous. He wasn't an actor. If you can give me a good explaination, then I'm all ears. Btw, sorry for the bad news, but you fail at being funny.

A tragic death always generates sympathy. Tradition throughout most of the world holds disrespecting the dead to be very bad form and to say nothing if you have nothing nice to say may be a partial contributor to Australians changing their minds.
I always respected his courage which he had in droves even if I sometimes wondered if he was a little bit crazy. Then again those most worth remembering are usually not clasifiable as normal, also if you watch his shows notice his footing is always set so he can manuver rapidly at need and he always remained aware of exactly where the dangerios creature worked with was for those who think he was completely careless. Within circles outside of Australia and enviremental circles Steve Irvin was largely seen as an entertainer who brought something the world had not seen before. An energy and enthusiasm for some of the most formarly unlovable creatures on the planet before presenting them through his eyes. I believe his death caused many within Austrailia to re-evaluate what he was working toward with his antics and what benifits his promotion of Australia did for his country.

People have always been worth it for though we create many nightmares we also bring bright dreams to light as well. We just tend to remember the bad longer is the only reason humanity seems bad.

oh, I agree with you tenfold, I really do. It's just a litte ironic, that's all.

And dirtyclown, if you don't have anything nice to say, it may be in your best interests to keep it to yourself, unless you want to get shot down in flames, even more than you already have....

Re: Crikey! The Croc. Hunter is dead!

I don't think they exactly used the best video clip on the news last night. He had a baby in one hand an a large piece of meat in the other whilst in a croc enclosure. For all the good things Steve Irwin did, stupid stunts like that are what people will remember in a few years.

Re: Crikey! The Croc. Hunter is dead!

What's even more ironic is the fact that this is only the 3rd reported Sting ray death in Australia's history. One would think that Steve would be the last person to be killed by a stingray, but quite the contrary!
