Topic: Would You Hurt A Fly?

[BernardGarcia]

Used to swat flys, moths whatever then pile them up spray some lynx on 'em and set the heap on fire.......it was a phase

[Crosby Nick]

Not one for the pheastantries then

I hate the ones that are like fight scenes in films, you lamp clean fuck out of them and they roll over, finished. Then you turn your back and they kick you in the spine.

Deceptive little fuckers

Moths are the kings of that...absolutely indestructible!

Went on honeymoon to South Africa and I was placed on bug patrol in our tent. Fights to the death with moths, stick insects and God knows what other things...must have gone through about a can of deoderant a night on them!

I don't kill anything if I can help it.

Spiders get trapped in a glass and put outside in my house.

[deadlybuzz]

Spiders, flies, bugs etc.

Thats terrible, though they did have a quail of a time trying to sell it.

[RedGirlSuzie]

Here's the beauty

Can get them in B&M I think (I know, classy aint I!), think they're about £3.99 or something like that.

Now you mention it, I think it was B&M she got it from. They are class, though I only bring it out for the horse flies meself.

Me missus takes it out with her when she hangs out the washing and sun bathes, literally every time she's out in the garden.

I think she's killed more insects than DDT

[INABITSKI]

Here's the beauty

No dead flies or heads stuck in it?

[Crosby Nick]

Does that work on spiders too? Mwahhaha

[AnfieldIron]

Pah! we have an electrified tennis racket in are house.

Honest. Takes two AA batteries. Kills anything.

Fucking boss them. Especially when the fly/wasp/insect gets caught, and you press the button and they start to fry

[Veinticinco de Mayo]

Thats terrible

Stop grousing.

[felix.]

i only take joy in killing mosquitoes. the other insects i peacefully release.

one time i smacked this massive hornet wasp thing, i don't know what you call them in england, or if you even have them. they're fucking massive, about two inches long, and have been known to kill, if they sting you on the head. i got stung in the leg once and it wasn't that bad. later i had my revenge when i plucked one out of thin air with a staff. i swung at it as hard as i could, and somehow i made full contact with the relatively small insect. it was a million to one shot, i don't know how i did it.

So anyway, when I started this topic, I though it might give rise to a nice little debate about animal rights and the way we rank other animals and so on.

Needless to say, I was way wrong. It's now a killporn thread.

You left it unattended too long.

For me anything that enters my abode is fair game (giving that it has the potential to cause harm/damage) for a good shoeing out the door.

Small, hard to catch insects die simple as that, for my mammalian bretheren I'd get humaine traps where possible.

[rushyman]

Most have the capacity to kill another human I think, its just the circumstances which seperate us

Say if someone did something bad to my family or mrs yes. But not if they gave me the finger on the dual carriageway etc.

As far as, 'you horrible looking little bastard I cant bare looking at you, fucking die' goes (Its hard not to say Gary and Phil Neville isnt it?)

Its Spiders. I cant stand the bloody weird looking, eratic moving pricks. I would rather they were moved out of the house you understand but books on them are easier

[Aristotle]

 

Working in a slaughterhouse and on a fishing boat made me pretty much immune to the stuff once you reach hundreds and thousands, if you're still in it by then you aren't very likely to break down and cry after killing a mouse or swatting the occasional fly. Also been hunting and fishing since I was 12 years old and gutting animals and, in some cases, decapitating them was just part of it so I don't see why it makes me a terminator.


I mean there are people out there who have killed tens or hundreds of people, but they're called war heroes so I guess that makes it ok.

[alonsoisared]

Yes Aristotle just like those war heroes im sure your opposition ie fly's, mice and fish were armed with guns and grenades

Anyway I voted for moths, surprised by how much pleasure some people seem to get out of torturing the poor little fuckers though, if I kill a moth or even a spider I feel guilty about it even if it was quick.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Is the OP going to put mozzies on that list?

Surely everyone hates them?

[Corkboy]

They're also smaller than most of the list. Surely, if you will kill a bee/fly, you'll kill a mozzy.

[CHOPPER]

Stop grousing.

Moi! Grousing, I'm always game for a laugh.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Absolutely not.

I tend to leave flies to it - ushering them out of a window if the opportunity presents itself. Haven't particularly got anything against them - I know they spread disease and stuff - but that's your own fault for leaving food out I suppose.

I would never, ever, ever kill a bee. I respect their little hivey communities and selfless acts of beedom. If I have to, I capture them in a glass and then release them back into the wild.

But mozzies can give you malaria. Even if they don't they can suck your blood out and give you a host of other diseases. They are minging, horrible little bastards that fucking hurt when they've jammed that straw in your arm. Fucking horriblem things. The worst thing out there of the annoying insect variety. Whenever I see a mozzie in a room or out - it gets mercilessly squished leaving a gruesome bloody splat on the wall to remind the world that their bastard mozzie ways are not to be tolerated.

[Popcorn]

I'm terrified of Moths, No comments please, so If I'm within a few feet of one I pick up the paper and batter them.

[Aristotle]

Yes Aristotle just like those war heroes im sure your opposition ie fly's, mice and fish were armed with guns and grenades

I'm more referring to fighter planes, laser guided missiles and bunker busters. How much of a chance does any man stand agaisnt that?

[lauz]

would kill anything on that list apart from mice/rats.

Apart from massive spiders they scare me so I don't go near them.

[lachesis]

Flies/Bees shouldn't be together.

I hate flies and moths.

[Effes]

Pah! we have an electrified tennis racket in are house.

Honest. Takes two AA batteries. Kills anything.

My brother had one of these. They are boss.

[Effes]

I don't kill anything - it's the Buddhism in me.

[RigBon1892]

I used to love watching wasps and flies frying in the zapper in work.

What's his first name?

[keano7]

Don't mind moths, they're harmless and just end up on your curtain/ceiling one night and your non-the-wiser by the morning.

Spiders are absolutely hideous. Can't go near them and if I see one I yelp like a little girl, which sounds like the majority of this thread would do!

Buzzing flies/wasps are annoying little buggars. Wouldn't kill them but just wait for them to go out in their own time. Nightmare if one ends up in the kitchen!

[CorKopite]

Chopper's story reminded me of a story my friend told me.He was in Venice with his family.Anyone whos been to Venice will know how many birds there are in that square where you can feed them.His little brother was 7/8 at the time and didnt realise that the relationship between birds and humans in the area was a mutual friendship and when one poor little fucking came strolling over for a bit of food my friend's brother absoloutely wellied the little thing with his foot..........a Riise against the Mancs type kick like.

He said the bird went fucking flying up against a wall about 3 or 4 metres behind it and then fell flat onto the ground with a thud.It survived but couldnt fly(had a broken wing I think he said).He got snapped at in Italian for a little while before being left off because he was young.


Cruel but funny.

Great story, bet the lad will have a great time telling it to the other inmates in the yard.

I'd go up to moths, especially when you're on the laptop in bed and the fuckers dive bomb the screen.  Unearthed a colony of ants in the garden the other week, really wanted to save them after spending a few minutes watching them (they worked like billy oh to move all the eggs deeper into the nest after I dug them up, it was fascinating) but they started to kill my mum's plants, so the word came down from on high and the poison was duly applied.  Ant genocide in 3 days.

Also, one of the few things I learned at uni is that if you trap some ants under a glass and breath smoke (from a ciggy or a joint) on them, they go mental and start fighting each other.  Can only assume it's a similar process to how beekeepers use smoke to wash the pheromones off new groups of bees in order to add them to existing hives.  Regardless, I felt like an evil fucker conducting some sort of twisted experiment.

Are you going to change the options? Obviously some people have issues with Mosquitos. Ranking flies and Bees is just a massive no-no - I could (Just about) understand flies and wasps - because wasps are a pain in the arse as well - but you'd have to be a knobhead to kill a bee..

I must confess i flushed a live mouse down the toilet. Years ago we were plagued by mice. The council came in and put the neccassary stuff down in cupboards etc. Having young children we had to be careful. One morning i was getting the breakfast ready when i spotted the back end of a mouse under a cupboard ,at the same time so did one of my sons. So thinking it was a dead one i bent down to pick it up and as i did it started wiggling. I just gripped its tail , held my scream back and ran into the toilet  and dropped it into , but it kept swimming round the bowl so i had to flush it twice.Have you ever had to explain to a child why you are putting a live mouse down the toilet ha ha

[TheoRacle]

You'd of been better off just snapping its neck. Pop, gone in an instant.

Considered that but concluded risks to great... a) put too much effort in and rip the poor things head off or b) not enough effort and end up just giving it a sore neck.

Next time I'l just let the cat have it and pretend I didnt see anything.
