and while people kill each other in wars worldwide....LiveJournal remembers what's Important.

Holy moly, I've seen more people cover Steve Irwin's death in posts on my FList (over 8 so far) in the past hour that it's disturbing (though I feel bad for his wife and two children, it's not like they will be penniless / without support / etc.) I'm sure the news in Australia will make it a headline on all the news stations even as we send illegal immigrants offshore to live in harsh conditions, even as we ignore the Australian Aboriginals who continue to live in fourth world - yes, fourth world - conditions.

Is this world skewed, or what?

I reckon the war of terror would get more coverage if everyone started killing each other with stingray barbs instead of bombs. *cough cough*

Yup, this would make it number five on my f-list. So far.

And for my 2 cents:

I'm no fan, but he was just the type of guy who doesn't get killed. Its almost like it could be some practical joke, its that kind of unreal.

Meh, what news sells I guess. I'm too used to it to really go on a rant about how Steve Irwin's death is rather the least of the world's troubles at this particular moment (or indeed any moment).

Plus, he was probably (with respect), asking for it.

He probably was (with respect) asking for it. The way he often treated and played with animals provoked them outright. Anyone who has to go 'don't do this at home, or THIS' probably wasn't going to be every animal's best friend.

Agreed. ^.^
