I'm not saying he earns this amount, I use it as an example to show how taxes and tax brakes work as far as I know.... ad 6 zero's and it will work the same... you just don't seem to get the message of that post, do you?

And I am not your sister, I hope you understand that message; your parents are not mine!
 
yes but on the basis that he earned millions blah blah etc... It's just another excuse to try and cuss the guy, plain and simple.

It is just a term of speech. You are human aren't you? It is an American term. I'm glad I'm in no way related to you. It is a blessing on my part!!!

I wasn't referring to tax breaks for donations to charity. I was referring to the multitude of things said in this thread. I have never claimed that everything you've said has been wrong. However, pretty much everything you've stated regarding the actual issue of this thread has been opinionated and based solely on your limited, shortsighted beliefs, which you are entitled to, but which are completely lacking foundation and support.

Might as well toss grammar in there too. It doesn't hurt to put in punctuation and capitalize the first word of a sentence, the pronoun I, etc.
 
Now You Got Me Into This. Very Bad Move!!!

Okay, enough is enough! First let me say this, I don't post here unless it is really a subject that gets under my skin. I know after this post I will banned off the boards. I guess I will deserve it. If you are talking ill of the dead the rest of this applies to you.
Steve-O is dead, and you need to stop being a herpetologist terrorist. I know you will try and come back with some meaningless drivel. I really don't care because you just can't fix stupid. I don't know where you came from, or who you are, but I just wish you would go back from where you came from with this morbid view of yours. If you felt so strongly in your view, why did you wait until he was dead to say something? I'm not going into what mental state you maybe in, whether if your mom didn't hold you enough or if you uncle held you too much. If you haven't done reptile rescue yourself, I would suggest you listen. I know I have done some things I am now embarrassed and ashamed to admit that I have done to handicap the reptile world. I have always liked reptiles, but I was being paid to make reptiles 'disappear' with no questions asked. But a crazy guy dealing with 'crocs' changed my way of thinking. Now I rescue instead of remove. I guess you can say it is my repentance for my past actions. Sometimes during a rescue, you have to take chances. You also have to know how to handle snakes safely, for them and you. Sometimes you take big chances. Some of the others like O'Shea, like the 'matrix' effect. I have yet to do a rescue where all time stops and there is a panoramic view of everything. And the subject of Cousteau, did he ever get off the boat his father gave him, or is he still drinking coffee while a robot gets all of his film footage? Cousteau is from France (and that explains a lot). Cousteau will not stick his nose anywhere because he has robotic equipment that does it for him. Besides, He has him fathers money to support his 'profession'. Tax breaks, not as much as you think. Look it up under tax codes. If you need help understanding them look up some words in a dictionary , or spell check.
Just do a big favor for the ones who believed in what Steve Irwin was doing and take your idiotic drivel somewhere else. With you attitude, I don't care if you go away mad, just go away. The really sad part is all the humans know Steve Irwin is dead. Who is going to tell all the reptiles (and all the other animals) that their champion has passed away?
Vinman, IFY, Don't mess with Kitty. That would not be wise.
For those who talk ill of Steve Irwin, this is what I think of you

LMFAO!!!!!! I have only read a few posts. So far, I have to say this: Vinny, you need to think first, type second, as I have always said. I too did not care for Steve Irwin. I thought he could have acted like less of an imbicile. But he did great things for the reptile communitys, and actually all exotic animals. He knew what he was talking about, though he didn't seem (at least to me) to have much common sense. Do I care if the guy died? Yes. He helped bring the world of reptiles to the public. He may have been annoying, and senseless at some times, but it's going to ultimately effect all of the exotic animal community.

Are we supposed to award you some medal? Does this in any way validate one single claim you've made regarding Steve Irwin's death, behavior, tax exemptions, or greed?

e.g.g. well put I never said that he did not do any good .He did alot for the herp comunity. I will never take that away from him. He did some good conversation work hands down. Yes he did know what he was talking about .
He set a bad example of how you approch animals in the wild . He did stress some of the animals out and acted like fool. He did all that for ratings. I sure befor he got on TV he did not go into the wild and approch animals like he did for the show. This is all I was saying . People brought up a lot of other points which I rebuttled. Any body out there dont tell me that He did not make a lot of money acting like a fool and puting himself in danger. He did not have to act like the way he did . As much as he loved animals He stressed alot of them for the show abd there was no reason for that . The only reason is ratings which = money
 
Nooooo before the TV show Steve Irwin NEVER approahed animals in the wild.....
When the zoo opened in 1970 allllllll the animals in it just came out of the wilderness and walked into their cages.....

that is not saying he did not go intio the field it is saying that he conducted himself diffreatly before the show and i'm sure he acted diffrent off camera . I 'm sure he took more precautions when handleing wild animals
 
Uuummm I disagree. In 1971, when Steve was 9 he caught his first croc. It was a freshwater croc he caught by leaping out of a boat driven by his dad and landing on the croc's back. He was 9 years old at the time.
