[Zug-Zwang]

Is there Anyone here that thinks we shouldn't kill all we can find?

 

[Racheal]

what do u mean? do u suggest we kill these things that u listed...why???

 

[Murmur]

Only if they encroach on your personal space, infest your bedsheets, or give you Lyme Disease.
Trained rats are grand.
I've never actually seen a live cockroach.
Fleas are hard to catch.
Ticks are icky.

 

[Racheal]

wow u've never seen a live cockroach??
We had a pet rat as a kid she was gourgeous... but we also had huge feral ones in our back shed trying to eat our pidgeons.
if there is no need to kill it like u said then dont just do it for fun... thats just silly.

Hi!

Never seen a live cockroach Where do you live? I"ll be right there!
I'm in a coastal town in SoCal, and we have ones by the beach that can nearly look you in the eye !

I don't like to kill anything if I can help it-except ants. I hate ants more than any of the above, and there's just too many to sweep out with a broom.

He, sometimes, a moth, bees or likelly insects flew inside my house. I try to catch then on a sheet of paper, open the window and release then. But, for legitim defense reasons, this rule don't go for mosquitos. It's a case of "hurt'em before they hurt ya".

Wow! You are extremely fortunate.

I guess you know about the millions of people that rats and fleas have killed? It's not good enough just to kill them in your house because when they live outside your house they stink up your whole yard with urine,leave fleas all over your yard infecting your animals.I don't think they have a right to live just like a Virus.Alot of people think that all god's creatures deserve a chance to live but I think we have to draw a line somewhere.I will kill all the above every chance I get no less than I would kill mold or viruses.

To get even more personal,I would kill all pit bulls and Rot Wylers.That might upset alot of dog lovers but if it were my call I would kill them all.I'm so tired of seeing little babys in the news mauled by them.I know people say it's the owners fault and the dog is innocent but none the less these animals kill children and adults quite often and I would wipe out the whole entire breed of them to bring back just one child that died or to protect that one child from a life of disfigurement.The fact is,we will soon read in the news about another child being killed or mauled by these devil dogs.

Rats,tics and flees kill us and roaches are so ugly that they need to die.I went to a girls house one time and I couldn't believe the millions of roaches she lived with,her son was traumatized by them,He had ear infection from them stuck in the wax of his eardrums.She had an infant girl also with roach bites all over her ,drawn from the milk spilled on her and in her crib,Yes roaches will bite.I can handle snakes,spiders and many different things but I can't stomach a roach.

I think it's okay to kill individual insects but not whole colonies all at once.

Then I'm glad it isn't your call.

It isn't the dogs, it's the way they were brought up by idiotic owners. Plus there is also distemper, rabies, etc. Having had several Rottweilers and have had a pit bull, I can tell you that they are some of the sweetest animals you could have.
Since a Chihuahua chewed on my toes and ankles, does it mean all Chihuahua's will do the same? Not at all. Don't let a few examples of the breeds spoil the image.


Now..back to the regularly schedule topic...

I agree with this. My friend had a problem with ladybugs last year, they literally covered their windows and doors. That had no choice but to exterminate.

Growing up in the ghetto I have had nothing but negative experiences with rats and roaches. Infestation would defintely be a good reason for extermination.

Well by all means hunt them away from metropolitan areas but kill them all? Don't you find that a bit over the top? Besides if we kill the roaches who is going to inherit the earth after world war 3?

What is the lifespan of a roach anyways? If they are infesting one's house and when you go to pour a bowl of cereal, out fall a few roaches..I don't know about you but I'm calling the Orkin man.

I realize that it's not always the dogs fault and I have seen sweet pit bulls,Chihuahuas have killed people believe it or not through the diseases they used to carry,like the mumps and small pox but those diseases were bread out of canines.I know without a doubt a child will die soon from bad dogs and I would kill a billion of them to save that one child,I've seen up close what dogs can do.
Let's apply this same logic to mankind.Men have killed far more children and innocent people than anything else alive.Is all mankind evil? Do we all deserve to die because a child molester kills and rapes children? Are we guilty as a race as a whole? YES.If you believe in the bible and the story of Adam and Eve you would have to agree that mankind as a whole was cursed for the sins of one family and we are dying as we speak.
If you are a Pagan or Wiccan,you might believe that everything has a right to live,maybe even a murdering child molester but that logic would mean not protecting yourself and your family.

My point is this-There is nice pit bulls and rot wylers but as a whole I think they are inherantly evil if even one kills an innocent child maybe they all should have to die.I think mankind is also inherantly evil.I have never raped and killed a child but as a man I am capable of doing so because of the fact so many men do.These men that kill and rape,what makes them do it? Were they born geneticly different then me? Was it their surroundings and circumstance? There has been many studies on these question but the truth always comes back to the same thing.Mankind is inherantly evil.

I haven't had many problems with rats, roaches, fleas, or ticks, but I do occasionally have spiders in my house. I just trap them in a cup and toss them outside. I'm not morally opposed to killing pests; I just don't like bug guts smeared on my wallpaper.

What is the lifespan of a roach anyways? Michelle

Up to two years, according to a Google search. Dependent on species,
maturation from nymph to adult can take up to a year.

I saw a special on the Discovery channel a long time ago. They are actually supposed to be one of the cleaner insects, according to this program.

But the way they started the show off, they filmed a little girl getting ready for bed, brushing her teeth. Looked like a middle-class family, clean enviroment... She put her toothbrush in a glass on the sink in the bathroom, and later along came a roach and started sucking on one of the single strands on her toothbrush... they did a close up.... shudder...good attention getting way of starting things off, and of illustrating that they're not just in unsanitary homes.

I find that to mildly offensive for some reason but I'll let it slide.

We weren't talking about people. And plus, since we come from different spiritual beliefs, we aren't going to agree, so lets just end this now. This isn't the thread for this argument
