Galk Gallente Autumn Tactics	Posted - 2006.09.04 21:37:00 - [96] Originally by: Malthros Zenobia I'd give fake condolences like everyone else Actualy ill speak for myself, i think the guy was one brave son of a *****. Anyone that shows care and dedication to the conservation and welfare of animals the way he and his wife did are bang right up there with the best of them to me.

Sucks for his family and all. ... Riiight. Originally by: Shigsy I can understand joking about it a few weeks or a month after he dies, but a few hours, that's just uncalled for. Im sure you'd like people to make jokes about it after you die, but think about your family and friends aswell. It was just a light hearted joke, he clearly wasn't meaning to offend anyone. Being able to take sad news and still smile and make a joke about is not equal to being disrepectful. _ Proud founder and member of the Stingray Disappreciation Society.
Logan Williams Total Warehouse Logistics Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2006.09.05 01:53:00 - [100] I've posted thoughts in another thread but, this one looks a bit more "official". I've sen alot of remarks that I share. Never realizing how much of a fan until now.....He died doing what he enjoyed.....etc. Steve Irwin was a man among men. No matter how many times you watched his programs and then made a joke about him "being a lunatic" or whatever you could say, you, or I at least, was always left with a sense of respect and admiration for him and his work. Several times in the past I've heard about how he donated money for protection of various species of animals. Also how alot of his programs "Ten most deadliest snakes" etc...were more of a way to publicize the annimals in an attempt to get the public to understand them. He put his heart into his work. I remember seeing "Irwin wannabees" and thinking to myself "This guy just wants the publicity of saying he did it, he's so fake." I've read on a thread where he was filming the stingrays for public understanding and awareness as well.... I suppose when you put it in the context of, "The man died while trying to protect the very animal that killed him." You, no matter what your past views are, have to be left with some sense of respect and allow the man dignity in his passing. Rest in peace Steve Irwin.

Admai Sket	Posted - 2006.09.05 08:07:00 - [102] Does anyone else find that death is a really strange thing - Steve Irwin is definitely dead, but i almost feel like it is untrue, that he's still there somewhere, and that lots of people just made a mistake. I felt the same way about my cats when they died. I don't like death - it's a bit... weird.

You, no matter what your past views are, have to be left with some sense of respect and allow the man dignity in his passing. Rest in peace Steve Irwin. Hang on just a damn minute. Steve Irwin was a funny guy, a good tv presenter and all but your giving him way more credit than he deserves. For the most part when watching his shows I was appalled at the way he treated animals. He teased and many times from the animals point of view was a serious threat. I am a scuba diving instructor and have dived with stingray and fed them etc.. so to quote wikipedia: "Dasyatids generally do not attack aggressively, or even actively defend themselves. When threatened, their primary reaction is to swim away. However, when they are attacked by predators or stepped on, the barbed stinger in their tail is mechanically whipped up" Whenever I have dived with them they have been awsome creatures that interacted with me by taking food from me. If you are gentle and slow moving they will interact. If your an ass they will swim away. Steve was a lovable character with his heart in the right place, but he was also an idiot too. He certainly is not the saint your painting him out to be! ---------------------------
Admai Sket	Posted - 2006.09.05 09:07:00 - [104] The camera crew were supposed to always film him, even if he looks as though he's going to die - like the time he had minutes to live, and got the antiserum just in time. So maybe they filmed him being killed - we could then see exactly what he did to the ray. RIP Steve
spookz Freedom Confederation	Posted - 2006.09.05 09:40:00 - [105] It was caught on camera, according to wikipedia it shows him pulling the barb out of his chest before losing consciousness. Does anyone know if Terri has been told yet? "I want these motherf**g sharks off the motherf**g roller coaster!"
Admai Sket	Posted - 2006.09.05 09:43:00 - [106] Isn't this a bit soon to be sensible - someone here cashing in on his death.... Sick linkage
spookz Freedom Confederation	Posted - 2006.09.05 09:46:00 - [107] What am I supposed to be looking at exactly? Terri has returned to aus apparently. Linkage "I want these motherf**g sharks off the motherf**g roller coaster!"

It just isn't funny to make a joke about a guy who just died leaving behind him a wife and 2 kids. R.I.P Steve. Because everyone found it funny except for you.

Jintau Kawazoe Caldari Chronodynamics	Posted - 2006.09.05 10:39:00 - [109] He was a cool guy, its a sad shame. I have to say though when I've been diving in the carribean sea I've seen loads of rays' and they are always intimidated and swim away or try and hide in the sand, I think its rather odd how this happened. I wonder if he was trying to ride one perhaps.. The people coming out with those really tasteless jokes about his death should be ashamed, show some damn respect for goodness sake. -----------------------
Dumus Amarr Veto.	Posted - 2006.09.05 11:02:00 - [110] Originally by: Jintau Kawazoe I think its rather odd how this happened. I wonder if he was trying to ride one perhaps.. I am almost convinced, based on personal experience, this is the case. The guy was a prat most of the time around animals. Originally by: Jintau Kawazoe The people coming out with those really tasteless jokes about his death should be ashamed, show some damn respect for goodness sake. I am niether ashamed, and I am not showing any disrespect. I will continue to make "tastless" jokes at the expense of the less fortunate. That is how its always been and how it always will be. Thats called comedy. If you do not find it funny then dont laugh. Move on, stop trying to make me "feel bad" cos, I will not! I will just giggle like a silly little boy ---------------------------

Jintau Kawazoe Caldari Chronodynamics	Posted - 2006.09.05 11:18:00 - [111] Thats called comedy? I wouldn't be rushing off to do some standup work if I were you, keep up the day job! -----------------------
Xendie Hunter Killers	Posted - 2006.09.05 13:17:00 - [112] nevertheless what some ppl think of him they have to acknowledge that he has had a significant impact on the world with his oddball way to make wildlife conservation a topic of the day. i will surely miss seing new and interesting episodes of irwin's shows and i will miss his "crikey!" also. RIP Mr.Irwin Quote: Nertzius > having fun being incompetitent?

Benco97 Gallente Cosmic Odyssey Chorus of Dawn	Posted - 2006.09.05 13:52:00 - [115] it's sad that he's gone but we shouldn't let that flatten our humors, when I finally go around I want to be remembered happily, feel free to make jokes about me when i'm dead, I won't mind at all, just keep them tasteful (and most importantly, good) Head of the Fedo Appreciation Group (F.A.G) and Registered Fedo breeder

Dumus Amarr Veto.	Posted - 2006.09.05 15:46:00 - [117] My other thread got locked so I will repeat the joke here. "Steve, so what was your favourite tv show as a kid," "Aww mate that would have to be Thunderbirds, but ya know cobber there will always be a place in my heart for Stingray" ---------------------------
Dust Angel True Core	Posted - 2006.09.05 15:54:00 - [118] Steve Irwin was a legend among legends. When I first heard the news he was dead, i wanted to deny it badly. When he died, a part of my childhood died. I grew up watching him on the discovery channle. Many condolences to his family, especially his children. RIP Steve, you will forever be missed. _____________________________________ Stressed out with empire politics? Sansha's Nation helps clear your mind.
Amasera Sacred Dark	Posted - 2006.09.05 16:13:00 - [119] Very very sad to hear about his death. Sucks big time. To answer some of the questions I've seen: Deaths from sting rays are excedingly rare, before his death there have been only about 12-17 (depending on which expert you ask) deaths by stingray ever reported. Apparently local authorities have examined the video of his death, he was not provoking the sting ray in any way, he was not trying to ride it either. He was floating near the ray simply looking at it. Experts say that the camera man was in front of the sting ray and he was next to it on it's right(?) side. The ray probably saw the camera man ahead of it and Steve at it's side and felt cornered and that's why it struck. Always been a big big fan of his... I'll miss him and his show greatly. ------------------- Sacred Dark is now Recruiting!

If you are gentle and slow moving they will interact. If your an ass they will swim away. Steve was a lovable character with his heart in the right place, but he was also an idiot too. He certainly is not the saint your painting him out to be! For the record, it's been said (though I don't exactly remember where) that Irwin accidentally swam over the ray, and the camera man was in front of it. Thus accidentally boxing the animal in. It couldn't swim away, so it struck with it's stinger out of self defense. I have watched his shows for many years and I have not once seen him mistreat any animal. Unless of course you see handling the animals as 'mistreatment', he was extremely respectful to every creature that he came across. I even distinctly remember a clip where he was bitten by a poisonous snake and made sure that someone had moved the snake as he had found it in the road (don't quote me on that, as it was a long time ago that I saw the clip). He has done MANY great things from animals as he truely loved every single creature on this planet. And bravely confronting your fears and taking risks to achieve something that you LOVE doing does NOT make you an idiot. I wish there were more people like him, and I wish the rest of us could enjoy the world and our lives as much as he quite clearly did. Do not even suggest that his death was somehow his fault, it was an accident in which he was very very unlucky. He wasn't bothering the ray, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rest in Peace, Steve Irwin. "See ya later, mate."
