what about all those people driving fast and racing on the streets?? it's about playing with fire and knowing what you're doing..
and only then the people that commented on his "common sense"... my point exactly.
steve loved nature.. and embraced it.. shared it to the world.. things that no other human being was able or dared to do.
leave it at rest... and let the guy rest in peace.

hahaha.... you act like he can hear us arguing over his stupidity.... i will leave it alone, but yer not changing my mind or my feel of his work... if thats what you want to call it... be paid to go out with those creature is fairly stupid i think, and if you dont think so o well, but look... he dies from it... so for doing all that he lost all his friends and family... a poor decision on his part

just like all professional athletes are in it for the love of the game... you dont think money had any part of it... if it didnt why did he take the cash ..... you dont know if it was or wasnt... none of us do, we dont personally know him... and even if he said it on tv who cares... do u believe everything you here?

yea true... but if u got bit by a snake you would have the branis to stop!!! its like say i LOVE playing on the freeway... one day i run across and get hit.. and some how survive... when im in the hospital do u thin kthat i will be thinking.. man cant wait to go out there again and get hit by another friggin car... no only a stupid a$$ would go back... nobody in there right state of mind would go play with these f-ing animals!!!
Interesting point of view... guess we should all stop racing because of the dangers.. guess we should all stop driving because of the large risk, guess I should stop doing my job because I have been injured before... Guess I need to sell my quads because I will get hurt again at some point, possibly serious... man your logic is the same as a hermits. We do the things we do in life dangerous or not because we love them and enjoy them. He loved what he did, I respect that, goofy or not, he did great things especially for animals and preservation. His death was not "playing with animals", was a freak accident. If he had his head taken off by a crock or somthing like that we would all expect it. But a friggin stingray wound to the chest? man that is tragic. Ah well man, off topic as usual in this forum *LOL*.

jacques cousteau did the same thing for many many years and was respected as well. tons of other divers did this because it was a way of life. i'm sure steve irwin didn't intentionally put himself in danger with a stingray to ____ it off. he was doing what he loved and paid the price for it. i'm sure if it was one of your family members doing this you would support their love for it and if something tragic happened you wouldn't say "they ad it coming to them" have some respect for human life for a change

God didnt put the creature on the earth for us to toy around with... thats why we have house hold pets... these are extreamly dangerous and unpredictable
RIP steve irwin
everybody on here understands that he (in one way or another had it coming) or was bound to happen, but to say that "this is down right stupid" right after you
say that you jump out of planes is just sheer brilliance
god didnt put us on this earth to fly
so when your shoot doesnt open next time at least you will have time to say to YOURSELF "i kinda had this coming"
that would be tragic and that is all everyone is saying
the austrialian zoo wouldnt be as big as it is with out the money so yeah he did it for the money
however you cant say that is the only reason
just my .02
recent word was he swam over the top of one a little to close his friends say and it whiped it's tail up and poked a hole in his heart. I knew about the heart thing but was wondering what exactly happened. So sad...

Good call, say a prayer for the kids and family. Even though they have allot of cash, hope they make a larger foundation to donate to over this to help preservation.
