But the question is if you stomp bugs...can you say whether you do or not?Quote:

anyway I crush anything that gets in my way: man, beast, bug, machine, nature, bug machines, man-beasts, etc. One of those rare occasions when I vent my anger is when a nice big bug tries living in my room. sorry, buddy, you get to die. If I see a bunch of ants on a sunny day I might go and fry them with a magnifying glass or napalm if I get impatient. Usually I have better things to do but it's a pleasant diversion.
I WAS just drowing roaches, but since you called me a girl, I went out this morning on a serial killing rampage and stomped every damn bug I could find at my apartment complex just to prove the depths of my true manhood. I thought your screeen name in my head with each beautiful killing. I thought about how they would get to live if it weren't for you. So many innocent bugs were viciously slaughtered in the wake of the influence of your assumption. Ha ha ha!!! If you love bugs, don't piss off a bug murderer! :-PQuote:

I don't pursue bugs to kill, but if a mosquito or another bug is biting me, that sucka's gonna die. He started it.
:lol: The term I used was, ",,, nasty, slimy, crawly..." Brett Favre and Clint Eastwood say it all the time. That nature of roaches makes girls want to run, but it makes men man up and bravely enter fierce battle. "Universal Mind" comes from Eastern philosophy, and it refers to the consciousness of existence itself. It was made more famous in the West when Jim Morrison sang about it on The Doors' album Absolutely LIve. Okay, I'll stop the killing spree. :cry:Quote:

Stomping is just one of the various techniques and tools that make up my arsenal of insectoid terror. I've been known to stalk, stomp, pummel, smash, shoot, burn, drown, starve, suffocate, and hit with a magazine over and over until nothing remains but black pulp.Quote:

Nah, I just kill poisonous stuff that's coming at me, or squash blood sucking scum
Oh and fire ants, because it really is a case of 'me or them'
Beyond that I usually try to respect all forms of inedible life
I won't even step on flowers :P
HAHA makes me think of "Windmill of Death"Quote:

i just don't notice it... when they... bite

Hey, he's the one with the freaky name. I didn't mean to insult all pedophiles, just him. So don't take it personal. :wink:Quote:

yeah, you're right
:wtf: So... Ynot... wtf is that... looks like some weird shrimp / lobster / roach mutant???Quote:
no idea, mate
was google image searching for the sand spiders
and I came across it
my guess is that it's a model of some kind
thought I'd post it anyhow
My guess it would be in the same family as the horseshoe crab. It looks more like a crustacean then anything else.
BTW did you know that they are thinking about sending cockroaches as the first lifeforms to start to teraform mars? Since those bastards can withstand just about anything. Also creates another line of thought, maybe cockroaches were sent here a long long time ago from somewhere else to initally teraform earth. :idea:

As far as killing insects, I generally try not to but I have no problem killing something because we ALL do it indirectly, anyway. By the way I would like to ask some questions to those trying to protect innocent bug life, say killing animals for food is wrong, etc.
I admire your standpoint but, Doesn't human existence alone (that includes you and me)cause the exictintion of 1000's of species of animals a year? Just because you dont pull the trigger doesnt make you innocent, but I guess ignorance is bliss, afterall. Maybe YOU can have a clean conscience about not actually doing anything directly but living out our natural (unnatural in my eyes) lives kills 1000's of animals and bugs a day, be it, bugs hitting our windshield on our way to the movies, or the meat we buy from the grocery store. OR, If you are a vegan or something like that, just playing your part driving to work, cranking up your AC/heater, watching your favorite TV shows, using a computer, and basically all that consumer goodness, causes enough toxins to enter the atmosphere which has been causing drastic climate changes that are destroying natural habitats (stable for 1000's of years mind you), and killing off entire species. If you really want to protect innocent life it would be best to just commit suicide or go live in the mountains somewhere completely in balance with nature. Until then dont blame or look down on those that are more in touch with humanity's current position on earth, which right now is unfortunately- 'Take the money and run' (in the words of Thom Yorke of Radiohead). The lead by example arguement wont keep the ice caps from melting either, we are all born into this lifestyle so there can be no solice found from saving a few measely insects..
One last question:
If a butterfly were stuck in a spiders web which would you help? Helping the butterfly kills the spider from starvation, helping the spider kills the butterfly. Either way YOU choose which of them dies, making you a murderer just the same. The question then becomes- Who made you judge, jury, and executioner? :P
I'm judge jury and executioner because I'm at the top of the food chain. I also get to decide what and when I eat.
I happen to appreciate arachnids and related substantially more than other insects. If I see a damsel fly on the wall and a black widow in a web, I'd go out of my way to catch the damsel and drop it in the Widow's web.
I like to sit outside and watch the local gecko lizards come out from behind the letters that spell out the name of my apartment complex and attack passing roaches and beetles. Those lizards sit there all day, waiting on something to come by. Once in a while, you can watch nature happen. It is just like a gang of crocodiles attacking a gazelle in a river.
"Other" insects? I hope you're not saying that arachnids are insects. :eek:Quote:

I'm the only boy scout I know to take insect study merit badge. Did I ever get made fun of for that. I not only smashed a lot of insects with my net, I dropped them in an air-tight glass with an alcohol swab and then nailed them to a board.
I practically crucified them.
I have some stomping guidelines:
- If a bug is in my way I kill it.
- If a bug is pissing me off I kill it.
- If a bug such as an ant or a stink bug, or a spider, looks like it might do something to piss me off I kill it.
- If a spider of any kind is in my house or garage I kill it while swearing at it and muttering about how much I despise spiders (sorry Kim, they really are revolting).
- If a spider comes near me anywhere else I will probably kill it also.
- If a spider is big, poisonous or hairy I kill it with a piece of PVC pipe or other long object (or in extreme emergencies, the bottom of my shoe, or a brick).
- If I come across a large number of ants I pour water over them or cover their ant-holes in dirt or something. That's always a laugh. What I've always wanted to do was stick firecrackers down ant-holes and light them. As far as I'm concerned ants exist only so people can have fun killing them.
Perhaps the only exception to these rules is if I am feeling lazy (most of the time), or if I am with, say, a Buddhist who hates killing. Then I use all my willpower to resist killing the offending creature (and I'll spare the bug too :lol: ).
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww......... .................

I don't stomp on anything, but I kill flies with a quickness.
This will sound weird but I don't kill bugs, spiders, etc. .... my strange sci-fi imagination gets the best of me. I envision these creatures morphing into huge beasts and taking revenge on humans for centuries of torture. Not that they'ld spare me or anything but y'know, karma and all.
