OK, Ben, you win...

I'm jsut giving up on you because you obviously did not read my post yet you claim to and you are twisiting every word I posted. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why, excpet that you are just doing it o tease me.

So I will just leave you with an exact copy and paste of my post that you say is a total bash on Steve Irwin (which is in all actuality a total praise to the man).

BTW, maybe you need to get some glasses or learn English or realize that a person's name appears below their posts title, not above. Not sure as I am 200% confused at this point as to why you are saying I bashed Steve Irwin and said thing sI never said. But anyway...

========================================

Steve Irwin was truly a great person and it really showed that the man just LOVED what he did, whether you agree with it or not.

V-ery few of us actually EVER hold a job or a career that we love and have passion for. We just do it for the money because we lack something, whatever it is, that makes us pursue and be successful at what we love to do.

I don't care that he let his young baby "too close" to an alligator. It's none of my business anyway. But the man knows alligators (or crocodiles or whatever the he|| they are). It just is not the same as you or I placing my child too close to alligators. Not the same at all. He knew what he was doing. He's a croc hunter. A real one, not just some pretty hollywood actor that needs an employee to pick is nose for him.

But more so, I really couldn't care less that he "invaded the space" of an animal. What's more aggravating to me is that someone thinks that they actually know what animals (non-human) are thinking or that they consciously think at all. Fact is, animals are not anything like humans because they lack a conscious mind. They only have a subconscious mind that directs them through their whole life. It's actually absurd to attribute human thoughts to non-human animals. It's actually borderline psychotic, actually. You can say that domesticated animals seem to have a conscious mind more so than wild animals. OK. I'll give you that. Sometimes cats and dogs do seem to have human attributes more than any wild animal could ever have. But you can't equate wild animals to domesticated pets. They are almost completely different seeing how wild animals must and do feed themselves where domestic animals, especially dogs, would die if no humans were around to feed them and take care of them. When it comes to brass tacks, a stray cat will live much longer and better than a stray dog.

Well, anyway, I watch very little TV. Maybe 1 hour a month. It all depends on whether or not I am visiting someone who is watching TV. I have only seen Croc Hunter about a total of 6 times since it's debut on the tube. But all I have to say is that it surely was quality TV. Not only was it educational but it was also entertaining, even in Steve Irwin's sometimes cheesy way. And it was wholesome. None of these things can be attributed to any of today's harlots and pinnps most of today's youth idolize. Not a god damned one of 'em.

So here's my salute to Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. He truly was a great man/entertainer/educator in so many ways and most of us human schmucks fail to see that. Instead we point fingers at him for this and hate him for that and try to impose our boring lives and principles on him and his family - all the while paying $10+ a ticket (plus another $20 for a small popcorn with butter) to see a coupla pansy-ass, fudge-packin' cowgirl boys on the big silver screen. How pathetic. So pathetic!

No real offense to anyone. But I have had my fill today of hearing people say all this bad stuff about a man that was more of a human being and a man than most of us could ever dream of being. EVER.
