Just because he was a celebrity doesnt mean we have to voice said opinion(that in your own head you are indeed entitled to) as it pops in our head moreso than we would if it was our next door neighbor and we were at their funeral. We hopefully would be respectful and kind as we spoke of the dead on the day we remembered and buried them. The media has this all wrong and Im afraid the public has taken it's cue from them for what constitutes good behavior anymore. Steve Irwin's family likely will never read these comments-but that still doesnt mean we post with abandon everything we think at this time(when the family is in mourning). What we put in practice today will carry over someday when the loss we experience rips our hearts out on a very personal level. Believe me, it really can be quite hurtful when people say insensitive things to you (because they feel that they are intitled to share opinions with you concerning the deceased)when you are in the middle of picking up the pieces of your heart.

But I'm not going to retract what I said about Mr. Irwin. it's an opinion I've shared with others and it really doesn't matter that much in the context of things.Livemallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567198484359363455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494243.post-60203393925093022092006-09-07T21:55:00.000-05:002006-09-07T21:55:00.000-05:00There is a difference between having an opinion an...There is a difference between having an opinion and expressing it. Everyone has the ability to be sensitive as to when and if they share an opinion. I have lots of opinions about many things, but that doesnt mean that it is always appropriate for me to express them.

While he had some critics (who doesnt) and was very much the entertainer... the fact still remains, a man died a very horrible death, leaving a young widow and two very young children without a husband and father. There is a time and place for commentaries and critisms of someone's life.

When it got angry he states "I think he's a little agitated" without a shred of irony.<br /><br />Ya think?!
