Which is worse-Irwin or Jackson (not the sex stuff) for child enlargement
I say Irwin-TV shows have to be rehearsed-so this was not a spur of the moment lapse of judgment. Plus Irwin is not only unrepentant but thinks it is a good thing - so, I assume it will happen again.

Jackson's was a spur of the moment very bad lapse in judgment, and he has apologized several times, and I am sure it will not happen again.

AGAIN, not the sex stuff on Jackson - just the Irwin and Jackson endangering their own child.

2. Disagree...
If I was forced to hand my child over to someone else to be held over a balcony, I would not pick Michael Jackson.

If forced to hand my child to someone who would hold it whilst feeding a crocodile, Steve Irwin is probably the first guy I'd choose.

And I don't even like Steve Irwin - he's an idiot, but has a real passion for what he does and nobody over here doubts he's sincere.

3. just different
It looked much worse than it was. Irwin knows those animals from a lifetime of experience, knows their fight/flight distances. It would also be reasonable to assume that he knew the animal he was interacting with and was familiar with its ways
Be assured, everything you see on his shows is a setup, life is not so good to any of us that one should have 5 or 6 significant encounters with wildlife in half an hour! But he is very, very good.
This particular episode was poorly thought out from a PR point of view, but I don't think the child was in danger.
I am not a fan, way too over the top for me, but I respect his efforts to promote understanding and conservation of wildlife and it is for this he already being hammered on local RW talk this morning.

4. I'm against enlarging children
Too many large babies could rule the world.

6. That's true.
I thought of that movie, "Honey, I Blew Up the Baby". Proof positive of what you mentioned.

I can of some guys I wouldn't mind seeing enlarged, though. :-)

5. Both are arguements supporting natural selection
We should let nature run its course - Why burden the gene pool ?

what kind of parents are these people?

I can't say which is worse. The lapses in judgement, the narcisscism - in each case neither act bodes well for the future.

8. Enlarging Children Causes Their Clothes To Be Too TIGHT!!
However, this can be helpful if their clothes are already too big.
