A funny news about the stupidity of some Australians, LOL:

PTB Indo...

ONE WORD..........CREEPY...

Waltzing Matilda

That beautiful song was Australia to me
before "Crocodile Hunter" aired on TV

He was crazy, brash, exuberant and fun
I never saw another do what he'd done

A pioneer in his field, a man with fight
he brought a gorgeous Australia to sight

So full of dedication, enthusiasm and grit
for the sanctity of wildlife--his passion was lit

For the land and the animals his purpose was filled
yet I think too soon his bright, helping spirit was stilled

He cried for that which moved him and all that he loved
for the critters, his family on earth and his mother above

When I think of his passing I can scarce breathe
while I pray for his loved ones, as the world grieves

As tears fill my eyes so that I can not see
would someone play "Waltzing Matilda" for me

...Thank you Steve Irwin, and family...

proud to be indo,

"LOL weakling Australia, LOL"...oh jee never that saw that coming. You do realise the english language consists of more words than Weakling and Australia? Of course I didn't expect anything less from your feeble little mind, but "Wakakaka". What are you now? one of those keropi frog / Pokemon "cute" asians? I think we should change your nick to "proud to be illeterate". Its quite clear that you can't even comprehend my posts let alone refute them. Evidence of this is obvious "LOL, what "argument" are you referring to". My points were quite clear for anyone who has a decent command of the english language, but just for the dummies here they are again:

1. Who are you to comment on the way steve treats animals, look at your own country and the way they respect animals? does that make you proud to be indonesian?http://rainforests.mongabay.com/20indonesia.htm

2. Look at the way your country treats humans for petty offences let alone animals!

3. we couldnt care less what happens to you or your pathetic, LITTLE, over populated country that redefines the word corruption and has been run by countless dictators.

4. What has indonesia ever done for Australia accept whinge that were anti islam? Before you refute with what has australia done, well we gave you over 1 billion in aid which is as much as your govt spends on there military every year!

5. you refered to me as "mate", so you hate australia yet now your using australian slang and living in the country, why is this? Why are you lowering yourself to live in such a "weakling country"? Dont say education because how can Ausralia have a better education than indonesia if we are the Weakling country?

6. HOW ARE WE WEAKER THAN INDONESIA?this one you refuse to answer. Our GDP is better per capita, our GNP (real measure of wealth) is much better than indo, so how are we WEAKER than Indo?

7. Why cant you reply with anything more intellegent than "weakling australia" and with no justification how australia is weaker?

cont...

Kathap..that was beautiful...bought tears to my eyes ..
He will be sadly missed..and its just not fair..no matter how u look at it.

Ozgirl -- Thank you! I have been so disturbed by his passing. Everyday it is on my mind and when I watch him on Animal Planet, I feel such despair thinking of what the world has lost. I never thought to be moved as I find myself to be. There is a great loss felt by my coworkers, friends, and family. Writing about it in the poem of dedication is my way of working through the grief.
