a lot of you people who're following mikesouth's negative opinion are fucking stupid.
did any of you, for even a split second, think of the possibility that irwin might have, hah, KNOWN the risks and ACCEPTED the consequences of what he was doing? including death?
you know how MANY OTHER people have dangerous occupations that could result in death, and know it, but do it anyway? MILLIONS. firefighters, soldiers, law enforcement, construction, pilots, etc etc etc... are all of those people *morons* and deserving of death when they die? sure, you might say what they do is a necessity of society, but how is what they do, any different than what steve did? steve raised millions of dollars, and made changes in the world that .0000000001% of the population would ever be able to make. his methods of approaching and presenting animals were a necessity to make changes, no one would have watched otherwise. he put his neck on the line time after time because he geniunely cared about animals, and he knew what he had to do to get views. like you, except your "cause" is greed and controversy.
sure, give anyone the option of knowing whether or not they're going to die at a certain time, doing what they're doing... of course they're going to choose not to die... especially when they have a family. but they accept uncertainty in the name of making positive change. so instead of shitting on the guy, give him the praise and respect he deserves for having the balls to be different and make change.
