It's really important for environmentalists to have a voice in a world where there... almost isn't one. I mean, name one more popular environmentalist on the level of Steve Irwin. Al Gore? Great, but he's more of a polarizing figure anyway and perhaps a bit too wordy to interest people who otherwise wouldn't care about the environment. People die every day, yes. Steve Irwin is one of those people. But it's still very unfortunate that he died, (not because I knew the guy, MAF, because I don't), but because of the example that he set for respecting wildlife and the environment. It reached a lot of people.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #15 on:** September 04, 2006, 01:35:47 PM »

Saying Steve Irwin was an enviromentalist, is like saying PT Barnum was a defender of people with disabilities.

If you ever feel disrespected in this life. Just die .. people will heap all kinds of accolades your way.

Quote

Famed adventurer, environmentalist and TV personality Steve Irwin, known around the world as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition off the coast of Queensland, Australia; he was 44. According to initial reports, Irwin had been filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef, and was diving near Low Isles Reef, about 1,260 miles north of Queensland capital Brisbane. Irwin was felled by a stingray barb through his chest, and his crew immediately called authorities for medical treatment, but Irwin was dead before an emergency helicopter arrived on the scene. The son of naturalists, Irwin spent his whole life around animals, and was raised at the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park. He quickly grew into an animal expert, with a specialty in reptiles, and was catching crocodiles by the age of 9; later, he spearheaded Australia's crocodile relocation program, capturing the animals from populated areas and either returning them to their natural environment or raising them in the Queensland Park. In 1991, Irwin took over the running of the park, which was renamed the Australian Zoo (and would become a major tourist destination), and a year later he married his wife Terri, with whom he would have two children. The footage from their crocodile-trapping honeymoon was later fashioned into the first episode of his TV series Crocodile Hunter, and Irwin was catapulted to instant worldwide fame, with his enthusiastic nature, fearless animal acumen, and his trademark phrase, "Crikey!" Irwin turned his television success into a feature film, 2002's The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, and in addition to his reptile passions, was an avid promoter of Australian tourism, including the recent Australia-Los Angeles campaign "G'Day LA!" In 2004, Irwin suffered one of his few bouts of negative publicity, when he fed a crocodile with one hand while holding his infant son with the other. Coming soon after the Michael Jackson "baby dangling" incident, Irwin was roundly drubbed by press reports, though he firmly insisted he was in control of the entire situation and his son was never in danger. In recent years, Irwin campaigned against wildlife hunts in Australia, specifically crocodile safaris.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #30 on:** September 05, 2006, 03:08:51 PM »

Real clever spin, APF. You know as well as I, that this Republican administration is recklessly destroying the environment. Poor Steve Irwin was just trying to bring awareness to endangered species and save the planet. It's a shame he had to go through extreme measures to do so, but he has to get the jaded American's attention.

Steve Irwin is just another casuality in Bush's war against humanity (and Mother Gaia herself).

steve irwin was hardly an environmentalist.

never can the term "environmentalist," as it's traditionally defined, be honestly affixed to a man who sides with far-right plutocrats.

given the company he kept -- laura ingram, john howard, rush limbaugh, et.al. -- i don't care that he's dead.

Could you give a friend - and I'm making a big assumption here that you actually have one - your password, so that if you happen to die (please god, i don't ask for much, and make it something that lingers like bone cancer) they can post the news here? A multimedia presentation showcasing your coneheaded demise would be even better, with a slideshow or a youtube vid of the funeral. Considering some of the things I've read that you've let ooze out of your blowhole and onto the net (especially OA), I will totally jack off to news of your passing - you waste of flesh and bone, you.

What does political views have to do with it at all? How can you compare Steve Irwin to Hitler? Steve was a good man, he loved his family, he loved animals, he loved life. Hitler was an in-the-closet cigarillo who felt he needed to kill a whole race of people to justify the power he had over one country.

Fuck you, you Quest for Fire looking asshole. You laughed at the WTC jumpers and posted your little "scorecards," and you always seem to be filled with some misbegotten righteous sense of smug "justice" whenever someone you personally don't care for dies or meets tragedy. I think if your parents saw some of the things you've written on these message boards, they'd slap you in your fucking mouth until it bled. Why don't you crawl out of the basement, go upstairs, and ask them? If they don't try to crack your oblong skull open, they're just as fucked up in the head as you are.

I can't believe you guys let this worthless piece of fuck on this board. That's just one step closer to making this place OA Lite.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #44 on:** September 07, 2006, 01:01:46 PM »

futami's gimmick is unqualified iconclasm, of course. to grok his stance on any given issue, get a sense of what the majority of the forum endorses, and he'll aim for the most polarizing opposite. his unstated goal is simply to make sure nobody can agree with him -- the moment he expresses a view that a subsequent poster takes sympathy towards, he'll turn on that person, too. he only feels safe when he's one-hunnerd percent sure he can't trust anybody, because having someone agree with him one day means they'll betray him the next.

however, we luv you futami!

Mondain · « **Reply #45 on:** September 07, 2006, 02:02:50 PM »

I don't care for that pseudo environmentalist daredevil either. Honestly, the biggest feeling that arises within me is annoyance when constantly seeing his obnoxious face on websites and newspaper headlines, and subjects of conversation, and when witnessing that contrasting opinions are universally lynched simply since they're contrasting in spite of what they contain. When these "iconoclasts" are mature enough to hold decorum they shouldn't be sanctioned.

In retaliation I've mentally found most photoshops funny up to now and there is no one who can scold people for that, and for voicing these kinds of opinions on some harmless online outlet either. People who're brave enough to be honest and sound off on them, and risk unilateral hatred for their controversial sensibilities and guts always have my most sincerest admiration.

You just can't extort noble reactions out of people, the way I and others think is just the normal way humans think. They have their own intrinsic feelings based strictly on petty perceptions and morals of interest that cannot ever change. That only leads to false sympathy and hypocrisy, and ultimately makes these situations far worse and far more dreadful than to witness a few indifferent, amoral but ultimately inoffensive party crashers here and there.

The way sociopaths think? Please.

Humans are selfish and morbidly bitter deep down inside them, but when facing others, will do anything to look rosy, since it'd otherwise mean to be a victim of these universal prejudices.

It's absurd to demand genuine concerns towards strangers. I didn't knew of this guy's existence apart from vaguely remembering his face from some Australian-themed DVD cover pastly seen in a video store as many others.

Let's not be bold, and let's admit that we're ruled first and foremost by our petty interests. If our interest in not getting bothered and constantly reminded of something we don't genuinely care about in a manner that we deem to be over the top, is greater than the loss of a sympathetic and brave entertainer, then nothing is more human and real than to feel like that. If nothing is acceptable other than fake compassion, then you get hypocrisy.

And ignoble opportunism. Big bonnets somehow gloat at these news. We'll see studios do special editions of his video material, etc etc... now that's really out of place, more than however a few apathetic people feel.

I have no problem discussing nearly any of these theories to anyone. Although I do not view anyone in the family very frequently anymore (if at all), everyone knows my views. In the end, people greatly appreciate this brand of candor, even if at first they think it's frowned upon.

It's the exact opposite of seeking conflict. It's gaining the agility to tip-toe any issue and avoid conflicts, and turn unwarranted gloom into marvelous rosiness. It's acquiring true scruples and a true sense of compassion. And calling dreadfulness out when it it deserved. I don't have a lot of occasions to use them, but I developped great social skills.

who gloated over his death?

learn the definition of a word before haphazardly tossing it around.

i said that i will shed no tears over someone i found to be repugnant.

if you make several appearances on the rush limbaugh show, that's an automatic sign that you're someone i have ZERO respect for.

if you state support for john howard, pm of australia, you've announced to me, at least, that you're an asshole.

am i gloating that his child is now fatherless?

nope.

do i care that the guy died?

definitely not.

i care more about the nameless iraqi child who was littered by american bullets this evening.
