Just because you see one in your house? I think it's not quite fair to end a spider's life just because they made an appearance. They're pretty harmless, and you wouldn't have known they were chillaxing about if they didn't peek out of their safe spot for a second.

Even poisonous ones. I don't think you should be near a poisonous one anyway. You're supposed to call some sort of animal control team anyways, aren't you? I don't know. Let 'em live if you ask me.

I loathe the idea that the world belongs to humans. Wrong. We share it with many other organisms. The world doesn't even belong to us. If anything, we belong to it. Too bad we're a bunch of dicks to it. It's like the earth is a bad parent and we're the failure result. Natives had the right idea, I think. Look what happened to them, yeesh.
 
Absolutely - all spiders must die. Stomp, smash, spray-paint, vacuum, whatever I have at my disposal, I will murder the little bastards all day erry day. I routinely search my room for the little shits and kill them. Totally not allowed anywhere in my vicinity.

So if a spider successfully entered your body and you found out about it....would you kill yourself?
 
no

someone brilliant once said;

"what if every spider i’ve ever crushed thought it was like, living in my house with me the whole time and one day i just flew off the handle and murdered it. like it just thought we were hanging out together. has every spider died while feeling a sense of betrayal?"

i dont see why a person can't just take a spider outside and away from their house. it takes only a few moments. there's no point in smashing spiders because there's just gonna be another one right back in your house.

I love everything about this shit
 
I always remove a bug from my house instead of killing it UNLESS IT'S A SPIDER OR CENTIPEDE.

I am sorry, but no. I just...no.

I always feel sad though when people kills bugs outside. It's not fair. Buttt, if a nasty little spider is in my house they have succeeded in scaring me and so they must pay the price. HOWEVER, I don't go out of my way to kill spiders. Centipedes yes...spiders not really.

But centipedes eat spiders........and a lot of them care about their children


you're mean
 
I don't think it's right to kill them...but that doesn't stop me.
Living in Australia I am constantly surrounded by spiders, GIANT ones the size of my hands, Poisonous ones that could kill you in hours...I've never heard of calling animal control though just to take care of one spider lmfao, they'd laugh in my face. If there is a spider in my house and it looks like it could kill me, I'm gonna stomp it haha. But like others have said, I don't go out of my way to kill them. I've had a huntsman spider living in my garage for months, he's HUGE but he's living their happily and so long as he doesn't make an appearance in my house, I am quite alright with him making a home out of my garage.

The only other bug I will happily kill are moths. I know they're harmless but my fucking lord I just can't stand them :| They give me the shivers. :sad2: stop fluttering into my face you little cunts and I wont smash you to pieces!
 
Spiders are evil little shites who spin disgusting webs and eat their children. They deserve to be crushed as soon as they're seen. I hate the way they look, move, sound, live and breathe.

Saying this, if it's near the window then I will throw it as far as humanly possible. Like, unless it starts crawling up my hand/arm...then it gets splattered for trying to crawl towards my mouth :monocle:
 
I'm really not a fan of spiders. They creepy me out, along with other types of bugs, but I'm usually too frightened to actually kill spiders myself. x__x I usually try to get someone else to kill them for me, hehe. Assassin style. ;D
 
It depends, if i see a BIG spider like a Tarantula then i kill it because those things normally are lethal but those tiny spiders should be left alone (Im talking of your avrage spider).
 
As a general rule I catch them and put them outside, because my mother crushes them the second she sees them, or I'll just leave them alone if she's not around. As long as they aren't in my personal space, I don't mind them at all...well, it varies. Obviously I don't mind discovering one the mini spiders in my hair or whatever, but the bigger house spiders we get are another matter entirely; I wouldn't want one of THOSE on my head, or in a position in my bedroom where it could land on me when I sleep...waking up with a spider next to you, even if you don't mind them, is not a pleasant experience. I don't see the point in killing them, though...they don't go out of their way to get in my face, and since I can't kill people just for existing - and god, do I wish I could sometimes - I don't see why I should kill a spider just because it happens to exist.

Now, craneflies are another matter entirely...THOSE need to die on sight. Little bastards.
 
I try and be nice to spiders. Over here they're pretty small compared to other parts of the world but I'm a huge wuss and I usually just get a brother, uncle, Mum, Boyfriend whoever is the closest to remove it for me. I feel like such a annoying damsel in distress...
:sad3:​

OH GOD I HATE craneflies. OMG they give me the CREEPS. They have so thin creepy legs and long wigs and they always move up and down and everywhere like they're having a fit and if you try and hit them they'll aim straight for your face and just ajjajakakskjakakaaaa...:damon:​
 
It's pretty disappointing when people openly express their hate for a living thing just because of the way it looks and you know nothing about it. Just because it doesn't have a noticeable personality or can talk. It's pretty shallow and arrogant of you guys to naturally feel that you are superior to these creatures in every way. It makes no sense to commit psychic murder on the small part of your brain that does sympathize with other living things. I understand not feeling anything for cows or other things you eat, even though it's still a pretty sad thing, but spiders? Centipedes? Moths? Really? They're harmless and probably terrified of you. It doesn't see your home as something that belongs to you, it sees it as a warm place with lots of places to hide and great hunting spots. And you fucking kill it, end its life, just because it looks gross and scares you. The Australia at least makes some sense. I get harming it for your safety, but only if it's acting crazy or there are better alternatives. It would never try to kill you because it wants to still your money or because it's angry at the world. It's guided by natural instincts.

I agree with you on this ... sort of. Yes you're right and they are innocent living things, but giant moths, spiders and craneflies are some of the most creepiest things on this world. I think after reading this I'm going to give the smaller kind a break. But I'm still going to murder craneflies on sight.
Sorry but no. I don't see anything good about them and how they could possibly help this planet. Spiders help the balance with the bugs so they need to be kept; but craneflies... I'm still going to kill the nightmares of the bug universe...
:XD:​

 
I don't get why it's more ok in your eyes to not feel bad about people killing cows just coz we eat them, but it's the worst thing ever in the entire world X infinity for people to smoosh a spider or a moth :wacky:

It just doesn't make much sense to me :hmmm: specially because cows and sheep are usually slaughtered in pretty terrible ways, where as most of the time a spider is stomped and doesn't feel a thing. Unless you're a cruel cunt and pluck its legs off before you smash it or something :S

What's there to not understand? For those of us who aren't vegetarians, we need that kind of food in our systems. Being against eating meat is like being against spiders killing flies.

That doesn't mean I agree with the methods used to kill the animals though. That fucking repulses me.

You said you can understand not feeling anything for cows. But then acted like killing a spider was the worst thing ever.
I just didn't get why one was worse than the other to you because they're both getting killed one way or another.

Either way I kill them because they're big and nasty here, the tiny ones get a free pass. I'm sure I've stepped on 100000 ants by accident in my life time though, does that make me a disgusting and horrid person too?

I know what I said and I'm sorry you misunderstood it because it sounded like I was saying something else. I just didn't dig deeply into it. My reply to your last comment still applies.

Also, if you aren't mocking me with the ants thing, I'll happily answer that no it doesn't make you a horrid human being. Its considerate to watch your step, but to expect that from someone is unrealistic. It could even be unhealthy for the person in question, especially I'd they have OCD or anxiety issues. But I'd you were mocking me then, well, fuck yourself. This is something I take pretty seriously.
