work that he did with the conservation of animals? Has this made you think about how life can be taken from you...in the most bizzare and unlucky circumstances?
Additional Details

it was unlucky...cause three inches to the right or left and he would have been saved. also, bullray are not agressive, the ray was threated by Steve and a camera man on the other side...the ray turned around and put its tail in the air (something like a whip with a bayonet at the end) and Steve was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I met Steve, family friends share a property boarder with Australia Zoo, I live in Cairns, Far North Queensland, this happened on Batt Reef, a reef that I have dived myself three times! I will continue to explore the Great Barrier Reef (or what is left of it) and will always be conscience of my surroundings...

before you call me a biggot or racist view the data below
the following link will verify my question

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0931045.html

Here is some statistical data you might find interesting
this data is according to the justice department.
it can also be found on the above website.

"About 10.4% of the entire African-American male population in the United States aged 25 to 29 was incarcerated, by far the largest racial or ethnic group—by comparison, 2.4% of Hispanic men and 1.2% of white men in that same age group were incarcerated. According to a report by the Justice Policy Institute in 2002, the number of black men in prison has grown to five times the rate it was twenty years ago. Today, more African-American men are in jail than in college. In 2000 there were 791,600 black men in prison and 603,032 enrolled in college. In 1980, there were 143,000 black men in prison and 463,700 enrolled in college."

I want to add more but i am out of characters to work with

I just read that in a news article and was shocked! He was so cool. If it's true -- what embarrased you about him? If it isn't true--please set me straight!

i get really annoyed at the phrase 9/11 - is it me or is it disrepectful to abbreviate such an event? wasnt it horrific enough to call it the september 11th attacks or cant people just be bothered to say it? 9/11 sounds like a rapper thing or a t shirt? It sounds very fox news and i dont like it. They started saying 7/7 on sky news (about our bombings) and it so seemed like they were following the trend and honestly, i dont think brit reporters were comfortable with it.

YES, he desreved to die. Anyone screwing with animals in THEIR natural habitat derves what's coming to them. YES, I think he was an idiot for constantly putting himself, his wife, and his kids in danger. NO, I'm not going to bite my words. Millions of people put their jobs before their family everyday and are seen as bad people and he was just as bad. PEOPLE are more important then animals anyday and if any of you want to call me stupid, inconsiderate, or heartless go ahead. I thought he was an idiot before and now because he's dead I shouldn't think he's an idiot now....Screw that. HE WAS!!!

If you want to rant and rave for how I feel go ahead. Make sure you read all my comments before you just go and spout your anger at me. More screwed up people answered in my other question, so make sure you read that one too. Good day PEOPLE HATERS.
