GOOD head..?
If you think making jokes about a death is good, I'd hate to see what you think bad is..

Well *blushes* :tongue:

I'd like to think we all have good heads on our shoulders lol, but the point is, I can't see why people are jumping all over each other just because they're expressing their opinions.

And Emz - yes!!

Are you saying I have a bad head? :nono:

So she has a good head becuase she agree's with you?

Because Ash, I dont think its very nice..
Is that such a problem?

Im sticking to my opinion, unlike some..

Look, I dunno how your mind works but there was no "death" jokes... I would never joke about the subject. You and Mark tend to get carried away without checking the facts first, and thats what normally gets you into so many arguments

I never said making jokes about death was good, I just never found the 'jokes' offensive. Steve Irwin didn't really mean anything to me.

EXACTLY what Ash just said..
Hm.. intresting

Im with Chrizzle, so what you dont like him? At least show some respect to the man. Hes dead. You havent shown anything sign of respect or remorse for him. You've just been rude and what you've said was uncalled for. Your very selfish.

isee what you mean now

I said I felt sorry for his family! Can you not read?

And I'm sticking to mine, that I think you should give it a rest now.

You've said plenty of times that you don't like the fact that Jake made jokes. Why do you have to keep saying it over and over again and being more argumentative, and making it worse?

:nono::nono:End it now Guys

Just because you dont like someone, its just not very nice..
Can you not see that?

Steve irwin was not a bad man, he hadn't done anything wrong.
So he made a stereotypical view of Australian people..
Your doing that now.
Your making them come across as not very nice..

EXACTLY what Ash just said..
Hm.. intresting [/quote]

We obviously think alike..

You know what they say, bad minds think alike..

Did you not say that you do not base your opinions on one person?

Yeah, he did actually ... I think that's a sign of respect - I don't particularly agree that remorse has to be shown though - we never knew the man personally! He wasn't a friend of mine, or in any way part of my life! It's sad for his family, but I just don't think it's sad TO ME. I don't think that's selfish, I think it's pretty practical. I know he's dead, but thousands of people die every day ... we don't acknowledge 99% of their deaths, and if Steve Irwin wasn't on a TV program about crocodiles, we wouldn't acknowledge his either.

You know what they say, bad minds think alike.. [/quote]

Wasn't it 'great minds think alike'?

Chrizzle, I've always tried to respect what you're saying, but I don't see why you have to say the same thing a gazillion time over 4 pages - it comes across as a tad argumentative. :rolleyes:

Yes. And luckily im not stupid enough to actually judge EVERY person, cos they are different.
Others might thoygh..

I don't think there's much need to get personal, Ash is a genuinely nice person who's voicing her opinion, just like you are. There is no right or wrong in someone's opinion.

You have totally contradicted yourself

Damn, I've got too far involved ...

I don't think there's much need to get personal, Ash is a genuinely nice person who's voicing her opinion, just like you are. There is no right or wrong in someone's opinion. [/quote]

I DID think that until today im afraid..
and its nothing to do with opinion, cos you voiced yours and I still like you :hello:

It's ok, I'm glad you can at least see what I'm - and what Jakey's - trying to say, rather than having a load of people jump on me!

I never said 'I think Australians are nasty'
I said your coming across as Nasty, and meant (but didnt say) others might feel that way.
But I dont judge based on one person.
Its my fault for not explaining myself

Jake:

Would you prefer people to think that Aussies are a nation of passionate and friendly environmentalists, whose only crime is to say 'Crikey' a lot?

Or would you rather that people thought Aussies were unfeelings sods, who enjoyed the fact that someone had died?

I DID think that until today Im afraid..
and its nothing to do with opinion, cos you voiced yours and I still like you :hello: [/quote]

In that case, you are being personal.
Which is really unfair considering I've been nothing but respectful and nice towards you.
Some people...:rolleyes:

I'd rather chew on glass than to say Crikey

whats that got to do with anything?

I answered the question

In that case, you are being personal.

Yeah, I don't think Ash has said anything really rude or disrespectful towards you, Chrizzle - she has tried to just end the argument and be quite respectful towards the death of Irwin. It just didn't effect her - same with me really.

But I like that I'm liked lol :tongue:

LOL :tongue:

No you didnt.
The question wasnt 'would you say crikey'
The question was which stereotypes would you prefer

... and I answered by saying I'd rather chew on glass than say it. Meaning, if you actually thought for once, that I would rather have the second option

Yeah, well I can see in which way he answered the question to be frank. I think it's getting a little petty now ... :wavey:

Funny how they're talking about respect when they have turned this thread into an argument

Lol not that I was entirely blameless ... I love a good argument :tongue:

KK well it's sad that Steve Irwin is dead ... even though I never knew him and he never effected my life in any way. I feel bad for his family but more sorry for the people in Africa. I know that sounds really harsh - and blunt - and stuff, but I'm just not really that "full of remorse" or whatever. Ahh this sounds so bad! Although that's pretty much my opinion.

Well he was a multi-millionaire so I guess it's not harsh to feel bad for the people in Africa
