Do you stomp on bugs/insects?

SkiesofArcadia · Dec 21, 2005

do you just stomp them

or do you stomp and grind/drag (which) them?

If you do the former, well it's a million x smaller than you, why?

If you do the latter...you're evil.

The way I see it is that every living thing has a right to exist. As long as something is not attacking me I have no reason to attack it.

Clements · Dec 21, 2005

Well, your body destroys millions of bacteria a day. If we didn't destroy becteria, we would die. Bacteria are living things too, just less complex.

Katsuya · Dec 21, 2005

That bacterium is considered a threat by my body’s defenses. (A mechanism I have no control over)

are You are comparing a potential infection to a butterfly or spider?

Clements · Dec 21, 2005

Not all bacteria are attacking the body, some are harmless, but the immune system in particular is indescriminant. To live, you must kill, whether you are in control of it or not. If we didn't kill, we could not eat, whether it be from plants, fungi, animals or otherwise.

Ditto,

besides they would stomp on us if we were little

Mr. Killjoy · Dec 21, 2005

I kill the annoying ones when I can (flies, spiders, etc) but I rarely feel like killing
cute ones like coccinels

ChaosCode · Dec 21, 2005

I know I live in the mountains and trust me you dont wanna get bitten by anything up here. I kill everything that looks like it might hurt if I get bitten by it. becuase in the words of a friend of mine that got bitten by a baby brown reclusive spyder on the butt and she had to have most of it removed,I knew I should have just killed that damn spyder.

I was going to say that, and you know they would

Even though we dont get much of the killer icky bugs here, they all get crushed if they come across me.

I kill flies and musquitos, because they disgust me with their behaviour. I don't see the use in stomping on ants, or killing spiders. Stomping ants is like, the most pointless activity ever. Spiders help me in removing flies and musquitos.

What does meet its end often at my feet, unintended, are snails. I try to avoid them, but when it has rained and it's dark outside, it's hard succeeding.

I once read that on average, every human being eats between 8 to 20 spiders in a lifetime, during one's sleep.

Lemme guess,...is an "insects rights organisation" under the works ?

I do a hell of a lot worse than stomp on them. For example just last summer, when I was bored as sin, me and my friend went to the dollar store bought some army men, then went to the hardware store, bought some raid, axe, and matches, then went to a nearby field put the army men sitting on a wooden post, sprayed them with raid and axe, put the can of axe in the middle of them and broke the top so it was spewing out tha horrible smelling odour known as axe

Then put the leftover can or raid by it, lit the flaming axe ... But something was missing so we found a caterpillar, peirced it's body with a long straw of wheat, and placed it's squirming body gently in one of the army mens crotches and watched this thing go BOOM!

Oh and if there's ay insect lovers, remember not to read this

edit: Ooops, I should have put tha at the begining I guess

Whoops!

Wasn't there a thread about this before?

The only insects I kill are cockroaches. I don't even stomp them. I snipe at them with a slipper with enough force just to stun them so I can subsequently dispose of them outside w/o having them spill their guts out indoors.

Proto · Dec 22, 2005

Why should I stomp on insects that have done no warm to me whatsoever? Killing because of a survival need is far from being the same as killing out of boredom or yuck factor. There is a world of morals between the two acts.

Player-X · Dec 22, 2005

I tend to kill mosquitoes by grabbing them and crushing them hard enough to kill them but not hard enough to splatter them, I do the same for most other bugs as well

Razor Blade · Dec 22, 2005

Wanna know what's really fun though? Electrip bug swatters

Oh my god the bigger and juicier the bug, the bigger the spark!

i vaguely remember one too

as for the topic? well, i don't get any sort of joy out of stepping on a bug, and in general, i try not to step on any since their guts tend to make a mess.

i saw scarface (Again) just a while ago.
"you know what I'm talking about, you f*****g cockroach."

Coolsvilleman · Dec 22, 2005
