I never meant any disrespect at all to the man. I just wanted to leave a little sentence here

Gutting isn't it? And weird...

I'm a fully grown man, and I'm bothered - I mean really bothered about an Australian I've never met dying.

But I think it's because of what he represented. His work for the environment and endangered species made him a good man in my book.

Just read about it this morning, that's fuckin' crazy.

But at least he didn't take his baby with him.

I never liked his show very much, but it's hard to deny what an amazing individual he was. He will be sorely missed.

I was waiting for shit like this to float...
Do I need to point out that's a little low, or does it go without saying? Regardless of your personal thoughts on him, a little respect huh?:rolleyes:

That's exactly what I was talking about earlier.

I'm a man that can usually take a joke in any situation. Maybe it's just my mood because I've had a rough weekend. I don't know.

Bah! What the fuck was he doing to catch a stingray barb in the chest anyway. Trying to ride it ?

No doubt it was bound to happen eventually, but when Dale Earnhardt died I'm sure noone had the audacity to say "Well how fast was he trying to go?" It doesnt make a difference what he was trying to do, a man who contributed more to the beauty and welfare of the planet than any of us could ever think of doing was killed. You dont have show compassion but you dont have to show any negativity either.

Actually, I don't even think he was messing with it. He was swimming over it. Divers do it all of the time. It was a total freak accident.

As to our two... I realize that you do, in fact, have the right to say innapropriate, shitty, despicable shit on the forum as long as it's not directed at a member, but for fuck's sake... It's apparent that the rest of us are expressing our remorse for Steve Irwin's death, so it should be apparent to you that we would not appreciate your asshole comments. (IA, you're a pretty nice guy. I'm really surprised that you could be so callous. That was totally uncalled for :( :mad: ).

A sad loss, since he was an a passionate conservationist and apparently all round good bloke (Michael Jackson-esque baby-dangling controversy aside for a moment).

They can shoot a thousand rappers and overdose a thousand rockstars, but this one is more upsetting.

At least he died doing what he loved best.
