Steve Irwin, dead.

[gr8fuldaniel]

OK so he was a little better than those guys on jackass.
But maybe not........they never endangered infants.

[gr8fuldaniel]

You wont see any other critters in the animal kingdom pull that kind of shit. I wonder where he got the idea? Paternal instincts gone amuck?

I suppose there are some creatures that eat their young.

a report on his death by his friend john stainton

[Mr.Vicchio]

He held his son while he fed a Croc, brazen? Maybe. But he was a pro at his job. Maybe you refuse to see that, you cannot accept that the man was a good man, because he doid one thing you felt was "aweful".

Now I see why you hold the view you do of the world... very sad, and dim.

Irwin was a good guy, sure, he showboated for the camera's, sure he took some risks that most people wouldn't.

But why did he do that? Most of us, realize he did those things because he wanted to educate children, people to the beauty he saw in Nature. In the creatures around us that most people (and generally rightly so) avoid.

The real tragedy here, the one that just hits me as a father, his Daughter, Bindi was supposed to host the series he was doing this shoot for. She's 8, there is a pic out there of her, mom and dad with a fluffy croc, you could just feel the love and fun she had with her father.

That hits ya..

I thought he did what he did because he adept at such things. As a fan of the combat sports, I can tell you this guy had reflexes that were out of this world. He was as fast as lightning.


A tragedy, yes, it was in my mind, but the real tragedy as that he chose to have a family before he gave up the risky ventures. That is not the type of job a family man should have.

So do cops, firemen, racecar drivers and Alaska fishermen. All losers, I suppose.

Who got in their car today?

[Jack]

That child was no doubt safer in the arms of an expert on the type of situation they were in than most children who ride in cars driven by their less-than-expert parents.

Actually, I thought he was an idiot before that.

[another day]

And your opinion means anything why? He was a father, a husband, and a wildlife conservationist. Beyond that he had the balls of an elephant. How well would you fare wrestling a damn crocodile? So show him some respect. Just because he was a little annoying and over the top doesn't make him an idiot not does he deserve ur scorn.

And that thing with the baby was ridiculous. He is an expert and when you see how he was holding the baby, there is no way the croc can or would lunge that far and fast, especially when he was already FEEDING IT. He was totally in control.

a bit of a euology here.. kind of sad reading their statements.

Dan, if he is such an idiot and not worth talking about then just leave the topic alone (plenty of other interesting stuff out there)

Well said Sean....Jeeez, the guy died in an awful accident and you would think that people would give him the respect in death, even if they couldn't in life. I yi yi:rolleyes:
