#2 I am sick and tired of programs that tell me that the world is full of wicked, nasty, powerful, deadly creatures."

#3 I would have loved to see Irwin take on a unicorn. :)

Somebody shut this biatch up.

#4 Maybe Terri could arrange for this idiot to check out a few stingrays and crocodiles . . .

Irwin did more for what he loved in a day than this woman could accomplish in ten lifetimes. And I'll bet he liked Lord of the Rings, too.

#5 On April 23, 2000, Greer was taken hostage by Karen Burke, a nineteen-year-old student from the University of Bath who had been writing to Greer, and who eventually broke into her home in Essex, tied Greer up in the kitchen, and proceeded to smash up the contents of the house with a poker and rip the telephone from the wall. Dinner guests eventually found Greer lying in a distressed state on the floor, with Burke hanging onto her legs, shouting "Mummy, mummy". Burke was arrested and charged with assault and unlawful imprisonment, and was later sentenced to two years' probation. Greer was not hurt and held a press conference in which she told reporters: "I am not angry, I am not upset, I am not hurt. I am fine. I haven't lost my sense of humour. I am not the victim here.

....and she knows what about animals.

#6 A lot of Australians don't like the Crock Hunter, his show never made it big there. I think many of them think of him as an Australian Hillbilly and are worried the world will think less of them.

What they don't see is he was infectiously optimistic and manly and probably did more for Aussie world relations than an amry of Germaine Greers.

I wasn't aware so many elitists disliked him until he died. Makes me like him even more.

#7 She is just mad he didn't exploit her.

#8 In all seriousness, you may be right Darth. How much of feminazi caterwalling is motivated by the jealousy and resentment that comes from realizing no man will have them?

#9 She was married for all of 3 weeks to some Auzzie fellow. I think you may have a point.

#10 What Steve's tragic death does is to remind us of the environmentalist myth. Nature is not some garden of eden. It's dangerous. And life in nature is nasty, brutish and short.

#11 I am sick and tired of programs that tell me that the world is full of wicked, nasty, powerful, deadly creatures."

"Only men are vile."

Last I heard, Greer had her knickers in a knot over the possibility of artificial wombs, because when men can make babies by themselves, they won't have any more use for women.

Listening to Greer is like listening to signals from an alternate universe.

#12 More like signals full of noise that ALMOST add up to information. ;=)

#14 Number 1, she's not a feminist. She's a bitter, self-centered asshole.

Number 2, allow me to repeat what I said on Tim Blair's blog:

Dear Germaine,

FUCK YOU.

Sincerely,

America

#15 Okay, I'll bite - is she trying hard not to say that Irwin used and abused his wife + family as illustrated before the world wid the "croc vs infant" incident. The abused wife hired a scuba hitman to kill Aussie = USA Male Brute Irwin while making it look like a he was speared by an angry Radical Islamist/Motherly bull ray in righteous self-defense??? The Commie Airborne couldn't save Irwin = COLUMBIA Shuttle = WTC = NOLA, etal. in time??? STAY TUNED ON CHANNEL 40/AUSSIE DRAMA TV.
