Subject: Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Man
|
I have just recently looked in on this newsgroup AB and did not bother to
look at anything previously posted since as far as I can tell everyone on
this group seems to be an idiot. However, allow me to express an opinion on
your patron saint, Steve Irwin.
Am I the only one in the world who thinks he was a jerk? He constantly took
risks in order to make a splash in the media. But more than that, I thought
him consistently annoying in the extreme. There was frankly just nothing
about him that I liked at all. He seemed not only a jerk but a slob into the
bargain. Every time I saw him on TV I wondered what the big jackass was
going to do next. I note that his wife and kids seem to be as dumb as was
too. Is that what Aussies admire?
I think it is time for Australia to come out of the back woods and join the
rest of the world. You have hundreds of millions of Indians, Indonesians and
Chinese just north of you who are waiting to pounce on you.They will
overflow you and you will become as irrelevant as your aborigines. It was
crazy to think that Europeans could ever settle a continent that was in
Asia's back yard.
But enjoy your Steve Irwin thing while you can. I know that you have pretty
much destroyed all your wildlife that same as we Americans. Yea, that is
what we are really good at - killing off all the wildlife.

Probably true, if not from a massive plague spread by all the jet set

ability to feed everyone. We may be the first species to actually cause
our own extinction by way of arrogance and technology.

I was referring to the Hanoverians aka Windsor's. While they are at
it, they should dump the House of Lords, and adopt a constitution that
guarantees civil and human rights for UK citizens.
> What is the mexican count now?
The real problem in the US is that the top 0.01% is trying to establish
themselves as a permanent hereditary ruling class.
Most of the Mexican's I see are working their ass off trying to make
some money to send to their families. If we want to start pointing
fingers, take a look at the failed "Washington Consensus" neo-liberal
trade and economic policies shoved down the throats of Central and
South America by the World Bank and IMF.

Anyone who thinks Islam is the problem is ignorant and/or irrationally
prejudiced. Yes, there are a few who DELIBERATELY MISINTERPRET the
teaching of Mohammed, but the same can be said for the followers of the
other Abrahamic religions.
> Aparrently quadrulpled the figure prior to 911.
What does the establishment of one phone number for emergency services
dispatch agencies (ESDA) combining police, fire and ambulance services
have to do with this?

Opinion stated as fact. Where is the definitive proof of the identity
of "Johnny NoCom"? [1].
Heck, I can think of several "Monkeys" who are much more obvious
candidates for being "Johnny NoCom" than Ed Gin.

Who cares about Princess Diana? [1] When I heard about the accident, my
first thought was "at least they didn't kill any innocent bystanders
with their reckless driving".
Her tombstone should read "Get a designated driver" and "faster your
focking seatbelt".

The US is being flooded by illegal aliens, mainly from Mexico and Central
America. Europe is being flooded by immigrants (illegal?) from North Africa
and the Middle East. These are mostly all Muslims. Australia needs to worry
very much about this problem too as there are hundreds of millions of
Indians, Indonesians and Chinese to your immediate north.
But Terry makes a good point. A nation that will not or cannot control its
borders is not long for this world as a nation. Most Americans want the
border controlled, but it is our crazy politicians of both parties,
including President Bush, who mostly do not. Go figure!

Figured.
There are now so many of the unwanted (by me and the white majority)
that the politicians are pandering to the minority vote just to get
re-elected. Hence the cycle continues until the country goes down the
tubes, and Bush is doing a fine job of trashing the US. If there even is
a US in 50 years it will be a very sorry place indeed. We will be the
new third world country since we have been so generous giving away all
our wealth to those poor developing nations who can't wait to eat our cake.

Naah it is the yanks that have the hots for irwin.

Lets face it, their country is being tanked by the chimp they elected as

Bill, why is it trollish of me to say EXACTLY what I think? Isn't that what
Usenet is all about?
I am not here to blather a lot of bromides nor am I here to make any
friends. I simply want to say what is on my mind and to let the chips fall
where they may.
You are mostly a peacemaker, but I am mostly not (except when I want to be).
I post a lot of interesting opinion which others are free to respond to or
not as they wish. There is very little trolling involved except to get their
attention and interest. If you would like to know what a troll is all about,
I urge you to go to the Google archives and read the Ed Gin posts (under
various false names of course - like Johnny NoCom).
I did not like this Steve Irwin character and I absolutely hated Princess
Diana, but that is another subject for another day.
By the way, you should have quoted my original message (at least the
pertinent parts) that you were responding to. Not to have done so can lead
one to make all kinds of negative assumptions about your character.

I didn't quote any of it because I didn't /reply/ to any of it. (Heck, I
didn't even /read/ any of it.) I only commented on the subject itself
because I did have an opinion about it.
The reason I rightly called it "trollish" should be evident, even to you.
(Hint: if I post a rant about chocolat chip cookies to 6 or 7 /computer/
newsgroups -- or /cycling/ newsgroups -- that's called TROLLING for a
response. It's completely off-topic, so the intention is obvious. HTH)

It was under my post and hence my thread and you are a scoundrel for doing
what you did. Post your own original crap if you do not want to quote
others' messages. I brought up the subject of Steve Irwin, not you!

Being off-topic has nothing to do with trolling. Posting to more than one
newsgroup, no matter the subject, also has nothing to do with trolling. But
I am too weary to educate you on the subject. Did you check out the Ed Gin
posts to ARBR? Of course not. You are way too lazy for that (as am I).
I do not care whether or not I get any repsonses to my messages, although I
almost always do. If someone wants to respond to what I say, that is fine.
If they don't, that is also fine. All that matters to me is that I have my
say. What is so difficult about this to understand?

Bill, don't respond to this troll; just report it (the troll) to it's ISP.
In this case, it's info@prairiewave.com and abuse@iw.net . However, you
could do me a favour and post this to uk.rec.cycling as it's not on
Bigpond's server.

Yes, indeed, now we see who the real troll is. He has nothing to say except
the same old rot over and over. But that is always the way it is with his
type. A troll is a troll is a troll!
If I were a wimp like him, I would report him to his ISP but I have never
been that big of an asshole. But maybe good old Bill will do it for me!

The English still think that they are the paragons of how the language
should be spoken and written, but they no longer are. It is we Americans
(the sole remaining super power in the world) who best embody properly
spoken and written English, especially those of us from the Upper Midwest
(Minnesota). The only real paragon left in the world is Ed Dolan the Great.

The correct spelling is "superpower" - one word. Even in the Midwest.

Chuck, I do not ever encourage others to play around with the English
language as that is reserved for only Great Ones like Myself.
I do not much like all this conjoining of words. I would like to see all
single words separated all the time. Frankly, I get damn sick and tired of
looking up words to see if they are joined or not. I leave that kind of
nonsense to the Germans who always like to run all their words together.

Why is that? Are you afraid of wildlife? Is your padded room secure?

I read that his wife really admired the big dumb galoot. His kids look and
sound retarded to me.

So Alex is an admirer of Steve Irwin? Who knows, since all he apparently
