the stingrays took steve irwin from us. it was a terrible tragedy. we thought it was an isolated incident.
...
WE WERE WRONG.
earlier today, in Lighthouse Point, Florida, 81-year old James Bertakis was boating with his family, when suddenly, a stingray LEAPED FROM THE WATER onto his boat. perplexed, he turned to the stingray to see if it needed help, or perhaps directions. and without provocation, it attacked viciously. the barb pierced poor James's chest, leaving him with a collapsed lung.

i dont know what we did to the stingrays. i dont know where we went wrong. but i can tell you this: these are not isolated incidents. this is a war. a slaughter. an attack.
and it's only beginning.
so, i'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to the stingrays, on behalf of mankind.
we're sorry.
we just wanna swim.
just like you.

Nice. One of the few things I've seen on here that was genuinely funny without out being offensive to anyone. Except the stingrays but they don't have computers. As far as we know.

FYI... "dont" is not a word. It's: "don't". Also, you should capitalize the first letter in the first word of a sentence and the first letter in proper names.
If you don't like this answer, then don't criticize others who also have trouble with their spelling/grammar.
Beyond that... no, I don't think the stingrays would understand.
Cheers.

I was reading that start and I'm like what is this like Jaws and you are making it up. Then I see a link and think ok I have to see this and was like wow can't believe that happened. All I can say is hey let's let these creatures live in peace. Just like people blaming sharks. We go into THEIR home and then get pissed when they attack. Oh sure somene breaks into OUR home we can attack and it is fine but it is wrong when someone else does it.

I read this story earlier and didn't even know what to think. This is insane. Crazy coincidence or, like you said, war? Just in case...
I'm also sorry, stingrays.
Can't we just get along?
