truly horrible and tragic, I felt like I knew the guy in a way. He seemed like a very nice guy and a great father and a great person to all the creatures on this earth. May he rest in peace and may his family be strong to overcome his death and keep going.
RIP steve Irwin you touched the lives of many people.

That’s too bad. He died for the same reason as the dodo bird though. Fear exists for a reason.
I wonder how long until the video ends up on the net.
Well said. Fuck him. What asshole hangs around wild animals? Let’s pick up a dangerous snake with my bare hands. If I get bit then I’m a douche who should die becasue I’ve proven to nature that I’m too fucking stupid to respect animals that can kill me. [/quote
I would like to beleive that you are just a simple male of poor character, weak will, and so fucking stupid to write such things at the passing of a man who has saved many from poisionous bites and many of those small childern. Educate your self then post with men.
Steve you’ll be sorely missed.
In other news. He pulled out the barb before he died…
Who else would have the courage or sheer toughness to do that? I met him before his business took off, saw the change in him as it grew and thought it was all just an act. Then I read his book and came to understand that it was who he was, only now everyone could see it.
I respected him ever since, he’ll be greatly missed, a true example of the “outback legends” that alot of Australians like to think they are but aren’t he was the genuine article. May his journey end in peace and light.

The guy had a lot of integrity, and that speaks to his legacy and the character of Australians in general.

That’s nice but I gotta disagree. We have our fair share of parasitic worms masquerading as humans here too. Irwin was a statistical anomaly. A great inspiration. There’s not many like him around.

I’d like to say that this is a horrible tradegy as well… especially on my brothers behalf; ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ was his favorite tv show and my brother is an animal lover as well.
This is just another shitty day in life when one of our heroes dies. Supermick said it best… “he was a mans man”. Another said “he was a true T-Man”… definitely!
Steve was a great man, a legend, an ambassador, and a great showman. Steve was larger than life. I hope his wife and 2 children will be O.K. I know it would crush me to lose Steve if he was in my family. Can’t say much for my own piece of shit dad… other than I wish Steve would have been my father.
Every Australian should be deeply saddened by this loss, if not us Americans will surely be. I can only think of how bad my brother is going to be upset. I have to make a phone call… God be with Steve now. [/quote]

Steve was a Man’s Man. Salute.
BTW anyone remember the South park episode “Prehistoric Ice Man”?
“Steve Irwin: That was quite an angry croc, but I managed to escape with only a few bruises and a shattered left testicle. Next week, we’ll look for more of these beautiful creatures so we can learn more about them by pissing them off immensely. Thanks for watching.”
“I’ve got to be careful. So, what I’m
gonna do is sneak up on it and jam my
thumb in its butthole.”
“If I get bit out here, I’m 200 kilometers from the nearest hospital: I’d better be real careful jamming my thumb in its butthole. Oh, boy, it’s pissed off now.”
“This grizzly bear has the strength of
over ten Morgan Freemans. I’m really pissing him off right now.”
“No! It’s a Rocky Mountain rattle snake. This is the most poisonous snake in this entire region. Now, what I’m gonna do, is carefully sneak up on him, and jam my thumb up his butthole. Crikey! Oh, this snake is really pissed!! I’m gonna jam my thumb in his butthole now! Awww, yeah, that pissed it off all right!”
“Notice the dilated pupils of this prehistoric man. A sure sign the prey is frightened. As well as he should be, as I will now jam my thumb up his butthole.”
If you want to read the entire episode go here, its hilarious.
Steve you were an awesome Aussie, could have been named Bruce!.[/quote]
