It wasn't the best idea anyone has ever had, I'll say that... but it really wasn't as terrible as it seems. Steve Irwin was a trained wildlife specialist. He may have died to a stingray, but crocodiles were his speciality.

Okay, so let's see...we have almost everyone being respectful of the dead except for...oh no, one person. Let's logically crush any ideals he may have had that justified his actions and thoughts torwards the death of Steve Irwin.

Number 1 : Regardless of career choice, sanity issues(as you claim, dude is " fucked up ", whatever that means in todays world 0_o), Steve was a husband and a father, and no child deserves to live a life without their real father. That's a fucked up feeling.

Number 2 : The biggest point of Steve Irwins work was to help people understand that animals werent these mysterious beasts that would murder you for crossing into their territory(though that finally happened). Yes, he loved animals, and he obviously loved the thrill of being on the edge, right there in the face of risk. His line of work was something that made him very happy, made him prosper financially, and helped a lot of the better causes in our world today. This man wasn't torturing animals, exploiting them or capitalizing on them. He was simply trying to help us feel how he felt; the guy loved what he did, and you got the nerve to say he's " fucked up "?

Number 3 : "and the crocodile doesn't need the baby to be right over his mouth to chomp into both the dad and baby. it was stupid, and irresponsible."

This entire thing is pretty whacked out. Have you even seen the video? The fucking croc couldn't have made it to that baby in the time Steve would've had to do whatever, whether lay over the baby on the ground or hand the baby to his wife, whom was close behind him. You act like he did a Michael Jackson and dangled his kid over a railing, you fucking Einstein.

In conclusion, stop trying to be a cool non-conformist for whatever reasons, learn some respect for those who've passed on, say a few words and remove yourself from this topic.

you know something? yer partially right, i did take it too far when i went out and attacked him. i shouldn't have tried to slander his name and whatnot. BUT i don't see how you guys justify grieving over this guy when thousands of people die everyday, i don't see any topics for them. it seems to me that when a celebrity dies, that's when people get sad. which, to me, is bullshit.

and no, i'm not trying to be cool i'm just too anti-celebrity.

I'm not exactly happy about thousands of people dying everyday... especially when younger people die.... though a life lost is a life lost regardless of age. Everyone dies, death happens... but may they all the dead rest in peace.
People react to celebrity deaths because it's like you actually know the person, in a way. You don't personally know the person in most cases, but you know about the person from seeing him/her on TV. In a similar way, you'd be very sad if your friend died, but if some person died in Russia that you didn't even know, then you're not really going to be very sad about it.

you didn't know him, kick it with him, or know what he was actually like, for all you know he could've been a jerk.

Ah, Infamous, first let me apologize if my post seemed a little..er..aggressive. It really wasn't intended, that was just a moody day for me anyway.

Next, what you're saying is very true, a lot of people jump on celebrity deaths and act like it's the worst thing in the world, and people out there with no family and not even a few people to come to their funeral are dying with no recognition. It indeed is bullshit, man, I know what you're saying well. I've never been one to be too overdramatic about celebrity deaths, unless it's a celebrity I've particularly enjoyed over the years(in this case, Mr. Irwin). While I can not justify my grievances by knowing him personally, I know that regardless of who he was offscreen, what he did onscreen was a very amazing thing, both interesting and educational, and not many can do it just like him. I'm not torn to shreds over this but I do feel a little bit of sadness there, just knowing that he won't ever do any new work.

Some would go as far as to call my reasons for being sad " ludicrous ", I guess, because I'm simply going to miss the Crocodile Hunter. Steve Irwin was a real person, just like everyone else, and he died too, along with the Crocodile Hunter. Most people aren't going to miss Steve Irwin FOR Steve Irwin, except for those closest to him. Steve Irwin died a regular man, and while that's sad, there's no real grievance. I guess you could say people mourn the death of a celebrities persona moreso than the individual themselves.

Maybe we should all do that. After all, this is his " rest in peace " topic, and here we are with all this shit. I'm gonna take my leave as well. I'll say it one more time.

R.I.P. Steve, sorry to see ya go.
