A MEMORIAL to honour the late Steve Irwin at the outback town he used as his retreat from the world has been knocked back by a local council.
The mayor of the south-west Queensland town of St George, Robert Buchan, had submitted a plan to build a small memorial to the Crocodile Hunter by the town's Balonne River, near where the Irwin family owns a large property.
It was to consist of a bust, a brief outline of his life and his contribution to the area, and was approved by the Irwin family.
Mr Buchan said he had hoped the idea would have been the beginning of a series of memorials along the river to honour St George's "favourite sons and daughters" along the lines of an avenue of heroes.
It would have been "a shining example of what people can do if they get off their backsides and do something", he said.
But after rejecting a memorial in September, Balonne Shire Council has just knocked back a second proposal for a memorial, which Mr Buchan would have funded himself.
"Steve Irwin, I believe, would be the most well-known Australian ever... (and) was ridgy didge as we say, fair dinkum, and even that alone was worthy of recognition," Mr Buchan said today.
He said he was ashamed the idea had been knocked back.
Deputy mayor Richard Knights said the idea itself to commemorate Mr Irwin had been knocked back, not the specific proposal.
He said while council was aware of Mr Irwin's contributions and were supportive of state government-planned memorials, a local monument was not appropriate.
"He had property in the area but I think a lot of it stems from the fact that we haven't really gone down the pathway of recognising other local people that have made significant contributions to the shire over a lifetime," Mr Knights said.
"As to whether one person's more worthy than another person, it's not something we've dealt with yet."
He said there was a possibility that something would be done on a broad scale to recognise a host of people who had contributed to the shire, of which Mr Irwin could be a part, but the idea had not yet been discussed.
Mr Irwin, 44, died on September 4 after being stabbed in the heart by a stingray's barb while diving on the Great Barrier Reef.
I find this outragus how the council knocked back a memorial that would be self fundered For Steve Irwin and i would like to know what you all think pleas post your replys cause this just discusted me.

I agree in the use of Canabis and Morphine for medical uses only but it has a long term damaging effect but also at the same time if every induviduals choise to use drugs so im sure my oppinion would not change anyones mind.
Effects of cannabis
Using cannabis can have both immediate and longer-term effects. These effects may vary from person to person. Things that may influence how you are affected by the drug are:
* The amount and strength of the cannabis, hash or hashish oil
* The way it is taken (eg smoked or eaten)
* Your weight, size and health
* Your mood when you take it
* What else you are taking with it
* The environment where you are taking it eg, at home with friends, at a party, or by yourself.
Some of the more immediate effects of cannabis use may include:
* A feeling of euphoria
* A loss of concentration
* Relaxation
* A feeling of confidence
* Wanting to eat more
* Red eyes
* Wanting to talk and/or laugh more than usual
* Losing balance and coordination
* Feelings of anxiety or paranoia
Some of the possible long-term effects of cannabis use are:
* Lung problems
* Difficulties with memory and attention
* Development of dependence
* Increased risk of mental health problems

No!!! Are you joking? A girl should NEVER tell the guy that she llikes him unless she wants to make a total fool of herself. It is all up to the guy to make the first move...otherwise he does not like her at all.
Mabey but some times the guy is shy and does not know what to say so it really depends on the situation.

Well first of all it was only roumors it was not in his hand wrighting but it acually was prooved 3 days after plus it was found in his left shirt pocket and the only prints on the gun were his and it was registered in his name and found in his hand.I know its hard to belive and alot of people dont want to buy my personal oppinion is that he killed him self cause he lost the passion for music and music was the only think that keeped him going.

No offience im a male i just like wrighting poems lol so im not in this situation

Boredom, I guess. I wanted to be able
to play the drums. I still do.
Yes, if it wasn't for the success of
Nirvana, the trio would probably be
in a bowling league - probably w/a
better name. But their neat bag
of heavy drums, chord progressions, hard riffs
and feedback give too much big-amp
fun to keep 'em in their logging town
brandished as Satan-worshippers.
The Suicidal Note of Kurt Donald Cobain, 1967-1994
To Boddah
Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complain-ee. This note should be pretty easy to understand.
All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community has proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guity beyond words about these things.
For example when we're back stage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins., it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddie Mercury, who seemed to love, relish in the the love and adoration from the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do,God, believe me I do, but it's not enough). I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.
On our last 3 tours, I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally, and as fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too *BLEEP*ing sad. The sad little, sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces, Jesus man. Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know!
I have a goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what i used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death rocker that I've become.
I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven, I've become hateful towards all humans in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get along that have empathy. Only because I love and feel sorry for people too much I guess.
Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
Peace, love, empathy.
Kurt Cobain
Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your alter.
Please keep going Courtney, for Frances.
For her life, which will be so much happier without me.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!
Farewell my friend we will always miss you

I'm 18. Waited forever to find the right girl and did 7 mo ago. We moved in together in March and things were great. Lately its been fight after fight (many per day) mostly because I'm a Guy in need of attention and my very attentive perfect Girl has become a regular kinda Girl due to work and her mom being here from France. She only sees her mom a few weeks a year and now wants to spend every second with her which I'd be fine with if things were good between us. Now I seek her out all the time, call her to occassionally get a call back (when she's working--) or texting her with a 40% chance she'll write me back. sHe leaves by 9am and works all day. Goes straight to see her mom and comes home at midnight so I get zero time to see/talk to her. Last night I finally got her to spend the night with me and we talked alot but I feel she's lost that connection. sHe says she needs to see that things are good again and it will come back but I need to make that happen. I'm the opposite. I will worry about this 24-7 till I see it's ok in her eyes and heart. How do I do that?? I know we're losing each other here and I do NOT want that to happen!
