Steve Irwin
is not here to defend himself. Even if he were he would just smile.
You very clearly have a mental health issue so I wont encourage your evil mcomments or lower myself to repond further.
Your a discrace.

I detect much envy in PK's derision of Irwin.Steve made the best of who he was,and good luck to him.

Life is too short for envious notions that limit our own capacity to grow.Be happy with who you are,because there are billions who live from hand to mouth,just wishing they had the time for PK's envious introspection.

If you really want to be happy PK,know yourself and what motivates our common humanity.

Your analysis is incorrect, Arjay. I am not envious of Steve Irwin. I have never had any desire to live a life like him. I have been successful in what I have attempted in my life, and feel no envy of anyone. That is not to say I cannot nor should not venture a critical opinion on a site like this - that's a reason that it exists, as you would know as a frequent blogger who is often critical of others. By your own reasoning, then, should I assume that you are secretly envious of those that you critcise? No, of course not, it's nonsense.

PK spoke up, and has been blasted. I strongly disagree with him, but ultimately he is right when he says this site is about differing opinions - rather than blast PK, you're better off framing your views, and stating why you believe they are the right ones.

I've met Steve Irwin on a few occasions, he was a guest lecturer at the university where I studied a few times, speaking about tourism and conservation etc.

While I can understand many people out there with a cynical bent assume he is putting on an act, I honestly believe he is not, and I've yet to come across anyone who has met him who differs in this view.

He was enthusiastic about his work, and yes, he really was that blokey and at times, naive. But he lived doing what he loved, and he made a real difference to the things that mattered to him.

He could have simply gotten rich, instead he funnelled his money into worthy causes, and lived in the same bungalow he'd always lived in. He mightn't have seemed all that bright, but he was happy. Ultimately he'd discovered that money paled in comparison to things like family and doing what you love.

Something I think we can all take a lesson from. Farewell Steve, I hope your legacy lives on.

Turnrightthenleft....I agree with you 100 percent..

Pk is a jealous, mean spirited man...

Steve Irwin WAS A LEGEND PK.

Like it or not.

And right on the poster who said Attenborough filmed animals canabilising each other for veiwing pleasure..

Irwin certainly had a different way of doing things but his efforts recruited attention worldwide and most importantly ,and THE REASON he provided said 'showmanship' was to create interest for animal welfare that would go beyond sitting on our lounges .He inspired action.

I am as a result setting up my own wildlife shelter soon..yes since his death but whatever the reason the main thing is that we do..his dying should not pass into history his and be forgotten..

He inspired a love of creatures and motivation to example his work in our own life.

Pk is just getting a little recognition for himself here by oppotunistically 'cashing in' on Steves death...very cheap.

If it wasnt for his unorthodox style none of us wopuld be even discussing any of this...so he can be satisfied that his plan worked..
Thanks to the likes of PK..all publicity is good.

As for embarrassed ?I thought he was just a good and loving bloke..
