[touch me i'm sick]

how can you not know who steve irwin is. you've missed out on life

This was all the talk at school today. One of the only days we've actually discussed the news, when some celebrity gets killed. But the war in Iran and Isreal has no meaning to anyone, apparently.
That really got on my nerves.

[touch me i'm sick]

i hear you man

[touch me i'm sick]

but like no kids actually know what the hell is going on with the war so it's even worse if they argue about something they don't know. then they're jsut yelling utter nonsense at eachother

[acousticrock87]

What the hell? He tortured animals? Is that a joke? He caught them and studied them. He didn't go around jabbing crocs in the eye with a fireplace poker - he poked their backs with a stick. He did not use unnecessary or unreseonable means. Even angry animal rights activists merely claim that he "agitated and instigated." He even represented Animal Planet - a network which is stongly against animal cruelty. Now I can understand if you think that what he did was unnecessary, or that he should have been more gentle, or that learning about animals is not as important as keeping the happy, or whatever. But to say that he deserved to die for pissing off a bunch of alligators? Um...Okay. Sounds like an argument for the sake of argument, to me.

That's how it is.
I try and keep up with the news as much as possible (sudden loss in interest lately), but I don't have the guts to start an argument, as I'm sure I'd begin yelling utter nonsense as well.

Whenever I think I've caught up on the war and decide to discuss it, I soon realize I still have no idea what's going on.

I think the people who are saying he was cruel to animals need to educate themselves on this matter.

Same with me. Surely the cause of my lack of interest.
I can watch the news everyday, read news while on the internet, listen to the radio and then asked a simple question to which I come up completely blank.

Look what I found in my mailbox this morning.

The Crocodile Hunter is dead. long live the Crocodile Hunter

Irwin was the director of a zoo, a conservationist, a hardcore animal loover and his on screen "persona" was just that, a persona to entertain while educating. he was actually a very proper and educated individual.

i cant give you positive rep......yet..........but i will.

[Tokolosh]

He was a self-centred sensationalist, if you ask me.

[Everyneurotic]

i repeat, would you like someone you don't know to drag you and touch you in front of cameras just so he can be on tv?

neither do the animals.

animal abuse doesn't just mean ripping legs off.

Fuck yeah!

I really don't like saying stuff against you, Tokolosh, because you're a great forum member and such, but; fuck you.
