Sorry to bring this back up, but I think you guys are being a little rude yourselves. I mean...not everyone loved him like you guys do. Ok, so you guys did, great, kudos to you. I'm glad he had some fans. But everyones free to express their opinions here, aren't they? I for one, kind of agree with Blackwind. Yeah, he was a GREAT person. He helped so many animals, fought for their rights, and all that great stuff... But the fact is, some of the stuff he did was pretty dangerous. No, I'm not saying stupid, no, just dangerous. Its a shame that someone who did so much for animals is gone...but Blackwind makes a good point, I think, you can really only tempt fate so much. NO MATTER HOW OR WHY YOU DO IT. Rather it be for thrills, or for something good, its still dangerous. Yeah, I for one, was not a huge fan, though I am still sorry for his death, and feel horrible for his friends and family, especially his children. Its not like Blackwind was saying he was a bad guy, nor am I. I just think its a little rude of you guys to, well, as you put it, attack her about it. She was just saying what she thought. It could have been worse, right? She could be saying, "He was such a horrible person and deserved everything he ever got!" But she wasn't. And I know she didn't mean to make anybody upset. She probably thought this over more then you gave her credit for, and its probably not making her feel to great herself. So lets just all be friends and let opinions be opinions? |

Somehow, "He got what was coming to him," and "He deserved what he got," sound pretty damn similar to me. In fact, they sound exactly the same. I think she was being tactless. There are a lot of people who were were saddened and emotional over his death, and to come here talking about how she doesn't feel sorry for him was completely insensitive. She even said we could call her cynical or rude, so I feel totally justified. It was unkind. |

I think, what BlackWind was trying to say can be explained with the old wives tale of: "If you play with fire, you might get burnt". I didn't found it to be rude at all. |

Let opinons be opinions - sure. I don't mind if you hate him or think his death was coming to him with all of his stunts, just don't let me hear it in an insensitive and a tactless way. Besides, when you express your opinion, you should be ready to hear what others say about what you just said. We did, didn't we? We thought she was being unkind, and we said so (our opinions, as well). And like what Seii said, she allowed us to call her cynical and rude - we did. She gave us her permission. Let's stop this, okay? All of us are partially in blame here. This thread wasn't intended to be about arguing, either. And all this talk of opinions makes my head hurt.

Yeah, ok, agreed. Anywho....actually, there are some things about him that I found just amazing. The very top thing being...his relation ship with Bindy, his daughter. Me and my family were looking up different stories about the whole thing, and one of them had this whole thing about how they did this article together for fathers day...I thought that was really sweet. YEah, I feel bad for his wife, but mostly for Bindy. I dont know about his other kid, or how old he/she is, but I know Bindy was old enough to know him and love him....but shes so young that this might be tramitzing for her. The poor kid. -shakes head- The other thing that actually really touched me was a video I saw of him crying over a dead croc...has anyone else seen that? |

We are number one. All others are number two, or lower.

I was really sad when I found out, even though I know he did dangerous things, I never though it would one day kill him... He was always so full of life, and I will definately miss seeing him on TV. I think that a lot of people didn't understand him, and that's why you get some rude comments about him, and it makes me sad. I'm not saying that if you're not sad you're a bad person, but I hate it when people act like he deserved it and that because he put himself in danger no one should feel bad. I feel bad for his family, and I always feel bad when I see people I don't know have died leaving behind heartbroken families. So I hope that some people will be more sensitive. Please note that this is not directed at anyone in this thread, just my thoughts on some things I've heard. *doesn't want anyone arguing with her*

Oh my gosh .... I just watched his memorial tribute.I swore I wouldn't cry, but..... I cried!!! It was so sad, and it was so so heartbreaking, especially when his daughter went up and did her speech. She is so brave, just like her dad.Rest in Peace, Steve Irwin. The world will miss you.

My uncle says that Steve said something like "I will die on my job" or something. Premonition? Or just coincidence? |

Remember your pride

I think that was just coincidence, but who knows. He knew that his job was dangerous and he knew the risk, but he was level headed about what he did and never let things get overboard ('cept maybe the baby incident). I remember when I watched the memorial tribute. I was lying in bed with poison ivy (ewwie...). I told myself that I wouldn't cry, but I ended up crying. |
