She is a real marine biologist.
So, the inevitable happened; Steve Irwin died through an animal attack. Sadly, it wasn't from a reptile. I don't care. My sense of justice has been reinforced. Steve Irwin IS, not WAS, a tool. He used reckless sensationalism to promote himself, and it finally caught up with him.
I am not glad he's dead. I am simply heartened that my view of the world has more evidence that it is correct.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

Rubbish!!! he was a bloody cool and dedicated conservational biologist and he promoted his work more than anything else. Why are you so cynical and sure he only had selfish goals with what he was doing - which is btw more than what I am or most of my friends are doing for this greatly fu*ked up planet??? (God you pissed me off)
Your such a uneducated DIPSHIT! YOU need to put a gun in your mouth and meet him on the other side. I hate little nerdy fuck's like you because your pointless, Prius driving asses are good for nothing but whining about how pointless war is, and how vegetariuns are the way to live life. He did more in his 40+ years than you will in the 60+ pathetic years you are alive. Its sad that somone like you would feel that way about a person who makes learning about animals fun...especially my kids! RIP Steve Irwin
First off, anonymous, you are a coward. Secondly, a Prius is more polluting than a twenty year old diesel truck running on biodiesel. I do not have such a vehicle, but getting one is a goal of mine. Thirdly, human conflict is a sad, ultimately pointless endeavor; look at the first christian 1,945 years of europe versus the last 55. Fourthly, using accomplishments to measure the worth of a life is a terrible metric. His cynical use of senstionalism to pay for his exploits will always overshadow the good he has done, especially when he endangered his infant son.
Dora, he pushed the envelope too far, it fell off of the table. Wild animals are dangerous, and he got what was coming to him. When I go into a construction area, I wear a hard hat. Irwin disregarded this logic one too many times.

i'll miss that crazy aussie. half the fun of watching him was hoping he'd get hurt. not killed, but hurt. he loved life, he loved animals. he made me love talking like a strung out aussie. heh.
"His cynical use of senstionalism to pay for his exploits will always overshadow the good he has done, especially when he endangered his infant son."
WILL it?
See, I haven't heard anything about such exploits lately, just all the good he did. Just because you're pissed off that he let his kid around a crocodile doesn't give you the right to downplay his conservation efforts, you self righteous ass.
YOUR cynical oversenstionalized posts here just paint you as a self important entitled little douchebag. Fortunately your memory will be a lot shorter lived than the alligator stalker.
First off, anonymous, you are still a coward.
Secondly, I typed faster than I thought. What I meant to say is that, as far as I am concerned, his cynical use of sensationalism will always overshadow the good he has done.
Finally, if my opinion is of so little consequence to the world, why have you come here, TWICE, to disparage it? It seems like a waste of energy.
Did it ever occur to you that there was more than one anonymous poster here?
Whether or not there is one or a thousand anonymous posters is irrelevant; you all go by the one moniker. As such, all anonymous posts will be taken in aggregate as one corporate body.
Simply put, if you don't want to be associated with prior anonymous posts, grow some metaphorical balls and post under a real name.
Anonymous posters are cowards, and will be treated as one being.
Just to pick up on Scooter's last comment re:Anonymous: If you want to still be "anonymous," take on some retarded nickname. Just so we can differenciate.
Anonymous should actually use the name "Retarded Nickname".
You suffer from poor impulse control, don't you?
oooh oooh, poor impulse control. i want some.
Nah, I just wanted to see what it was like to have a screen name, and thus be better than an anonymous poster.
It so totally made a difference.
And I have forgotten my password.

At least RN capitalized Whore. Shows a little respect.
