Well gee, I don't know, perhaps because, for the most part, none of them were extremely popular TV presenters, that did a great deal for their country's wildlife.

I wish that were possible. I wish the Hells' Angels could take pool cues to those inbred fools from the Westboro Baptist Church. I also wish that the real heroes of this country were honored the right way.

But that won't happen. Not as long as people get their news from the Daily Show, and even worse, from movie stars who abuse their spotlight to voice their agenda.


Damn shame, really.

but they've done a great deal for their country, they knew what risks they were taking and how extremely high those risks were, they should be given the respect they deserve. I'm just unsure, were you saying they shouldn't be remembered like that because they dont help wildlife and are not or famous or that that is just the reason steve was given such a great send off

My cousin that lived with me like a brother was killed in Iraq this January.  Instead of talking about him all of the news teams talked about when those reporters (Woodruff) got hit by an RPG and just got hurt.  The media doesn't care about whats right, they care about what is lucrative.

I'm really sorry to here that. Thats exactly what I'm talking about, its because they don't deem it interesting enough. I think its disgusting how its reported, its not too bad here in England but I bet in the US one reason for the lack of reports is that they are controlled (not literally) by the govt. I hope you're cuz gets the respect and send-off he deserves

I remember watching a film where a crocodile in his Zoo had just passed away and he Stevie cried for the death of the poor animal. He loved the crocodile even though it is commonly hated and feared by people. Now that is an animal lover. People would call him crazy because he cried of the croc's death but some may never understand how amazing he was. He was extremely passionate and it is a true shame that he is now dead.
And concerning the footage of his death, I hope it is never released to the public.

I have the deepest sympathy for his family and I hope they pass on his legacy and keep the Zoo running.
And most importainly treat every animal with the same respect and love as Steve Irwin did.
I shall never forget his name. Neither should you.

Justice was due. At least he had a job he loved & died doing it, a boast most men cannot claim.
Watch for the Mrs.Crocodile Hunter show next season as she cashes in on his death.
Trollmeat I hope you have fun in hell I'm suprised not many have noticed this and also bennisboy if you are going to talk about soldiers dieing do it on another thread this was meant for just one man

Whats up your ass?! If I knew him personal I would have taken it hard, but I didn't. In my opinion you do not go around looking for trouble if you don't want to find it, his luck ran out, its that simple, don't fuck with the animals. I fully expect his wife to cash in on his death.

Just for your info there is no hell...

well actually it is to do with steve irwin, we were discussing how and why their deaths are reported differently, when they have all taken high risks and provided great services to their country. Try thinking about what a post means before criticising it

edit: also if EA suck so much, why are you playing their and dice's game. How about thanking them for making a game you're prepared to put so much time into and having fun for most of that time

I know you're not my my mate.  Have you got a problem with my culture?  As per usual, you fucking arrogant Americans know nothing outside your 'wonderful' country.  If you've got nothing respectful to say, I suggest you fuck off and slit your wrists.

you spelled immoral, imoral , no your culture is wonderful your women in particular, its you that I have the problem with.
I'm not arrogant, why do you group me in with everyone isn't that racist & short sighted?
And you talk of me as if I am a punk...you attack me over someone you never even knew other than a TV break.
My lack of respect is directly proportional to your ability to say anything worth a shit.
I hope you live a long life.

If you aren't arrogant then why do you think that Terri would cash in on Steve's death? If you believe this then you must believe that the women that found out there husbands had died on 9/11 are cashing in on their deaths too.
Oh and by the way you have to capitalize the beginning letter in each sentence like that first sentence.
p.s. Trollmeat you are the disgrace you asshole yet again have fun taking it from Satan.

Because she would be a fool not too make money off her established name for one, its a logical assumption, the 9/11 women did cash in only not by their doing but everyone else's for them, they are all very rich now.
John Walsh who became a star & rich trying to find the killer of his boy by putting away every criminal he could. There is no shame in making money off of dead people, especially when they put it too good use.
I will not apologize for my statements, sure Steve was a good man that did a lot of good , but if you look for trouble long enough you will find it, he knew the risks & you should be happy for him that he died doing what he loved.
Why am I a disgrace for stating my opinion in an open forum subject, why am I an asshole for defending myself against the two of you, & why do you keep making references to Satan like some warped south park episode.
Good day

TrollmeaT, like a lot of people, you know Steve mainly for his TV appearences. Nothing wrong with that. No doubt Australia Zoo will be getting monetary benefis from Steve's deaths, but saying that Terri will be "Cashing in" on his death is insensitive when talking about anybody. How does money help when someone you love dies? The Irwins were NEVER in it for the money, but I suppose like you said it will be going towards Steve's various wildlife causes and will fund Australia Zoo, (as did every single last bit of his work.)
I doubt you'll see "Mrs. Crocodile Hunter" EVER.

About 90% of what the guy did he did off screen. He was completely genuine and was a professonal. To say he "got what he deserved" is a terrible thing to say, especially since what happened to Steve was the last thing the man deserved.

Though you are welcome to voice you opinion, try to be more sensitive. Like you previouly critisised others for, and acknowledged in yourself, you did not know the man, nor it seems did you know what he stood for.



To those who are angry at TrollmeaT, please remember: 'Flaming' (personal attacks) are not well received on these forums. {quote}

TrollmeaT you sounded more sensitive in that last post its just that your first post was very rude. Steve died doing what he loved and I never said i wasn't happy for that just don't be jerk is all I'm saying especially about a guy that improved the world in one way or another.

Tyferra, I will try to be more sensitive on matters such as these in the future, people often think I'm cold on my view of death but thats because I don't think of death as such.

I should have used different words than "got what he deserved" , but he seemed to take unbelievable risks with his life it would seem that he would expect it sooner or later despite his skill level, especially after the black mamba that almost killed him, he just appeared very reckless.

You are right in that I did not know what he stands for other than the TV show before this post, but I disagree & think that Mrs. Crocodile Hunter will come about.

Thanks for your post Tyferra it helped me to understand the man better.

dhoar4 I have nothing left to say to you.
