What the hell are you talking about? All the guy did was fuck around with dangerous animals! He got killed by one! I'm not gonna mourn a complete stranger's death for doing stupid shit all the time.

And to be honest, you people wouldn't even fuckin' know about this if he wasn't a "celebrity". What if it was just some regular dude you read about it happening to in the newspaper? Would we have a RIP thread? No way, we'd have it in True Crime and we'd all be making fun of it.

Gimme a break.

It's sad when celebrities die.

I looked up info on stingrays after I heard about this and what I found was that most people get nailed by a stingray if they accidently step on one or swim too close above one. So I doubt that he was fucking with it, he must have just swam too close and the thing freaked out and stung him. It didn't know he meant no harm. Such a sad thing, but as others have said, at least he died doing what he loved.

And I don't think anyone is sad about his death because he was a celebrity. In fact, I think he was a celebrity for the same reason MOST of us feel bad for the world losing him. I think he was a great man and did his best to do good things and get his message out in a way people would remember it.

Crikey, strewth, bloody hell mate,

No i'm not taking the mick, i am a fair dinkum, true blue aussie "bloke". Steve was the closest thing that we will ever have to a real-life "Michael J. Crocodile Dundee". To me he epitomised the dying aussie "bloke" with his mannerisms and ockerisms. I am of the opinion that if you mess with any animal, eventually it is going to get agitated when you least expect it, and strike back, especially if you disturb it in it's environment.
I thought he was a funny, real down to earth guy. The kind of guy that you would meet at the pub, instantly like, and you would buy him a beer. I applaud what he did for conservation, as we need more people like him, fighting to save it. Not just here but around the world

R.I.P Steve Irwin

You're right. Because I'm not going to feign sympathy for someone who I always thought was a complete idiot. Saying "He was a great man" is just stupid, none of you know the guy. You saw him on TV jumpin' around with alligators and poisonous snakes and you say "Whoah, that was fuckin' crazy." Now he's dead and you're saying, "Oh, he's done so much for the world, he's taught us so much."

Blauugghhhhhh

You're entitled to your opinion, but try just not saying anything more, cuz you sound like an asshole. And if I wanted to listen to an asshole, I'd fart. But he has done a LOT for conservation efforts, that's why people think he's done a lot for the world. At least he tried. That's more than most of us can say.

Oh, and try decaf, just an idea.

Sorry, but I am an asshole, that's why i sound like one. And we are entitled to our opinions, so let's just agree to disagree. Sorry I called your statement "dumb".

No coffee in me, I just really feel strongly against people pretending to care about something... when I see so many posts saying "he will be missed" and "what a great guy" when I know most people don't mean it. I guess I'm not so much arguing for anti-Steve Irwin, I'm arguing against phony sincerity.

Crikeys! I've always enjoyed getting stoned and watching that crazy bugga chase a venomous snake across a stream and up a tree.


He'll be missed but he will live on forever in rerun limbo.

Well, I gotta give ya credit for saying that. At least you're honest and that cracked me up. :)

And you're right, we should just agree to disagree. I can't speak for anyone else, but I honestly do feel bad that he's gone, and I believe others do too. No phony sincerity here. I don't have to literally know someone to feel bad when they die. I just hope that what he worked for doesn't die along with him.
