Do you loathe insects?

Need I say anything at all in here.

Indeed I do. Most of them creep me out.

Flies irritate me when they insist on landing on my head (after having been shooed away only a couple of minutes beforehand), but I realise they have an important job to do in the local ecosystem, so they're mostly cool with me.

I think the majority of insects are fascinating, though - I love the way that ants and termites operate, for instance. I think it's amazing that such tiny creatures can do such incredible things.

Wow this conversation moved on pretty quickly, don't know what happened there, seems like only yesterday I posted that response.

Back to the subject of war and such, yes War does play that part, you could almost say we're our own worst enemy. But there's also bacteria, viruses, parasites, worms, and such. Hell everyday people die due to their own stupidity or because they're eating too much, or not enough. We really don't need to regulate population that much, and even if we tried, assuming the tool is murder, it might do more harm than good, imagine how much people Hitler killed, then imagine how much people would be alive right now if he wasn't alive. If someone had killed him we might be worse off today than if he hadn't been around, and that's ignoring stuff like the Technological advances the war brought us, like the computer. Now with that in mind what if somebody did try regulating the population, somebody like Hitler who had an impact on our population might have been killed and for all we know the world could be in worse condition than if he hadn't been and died. It isn't as if he wasn't a bad person of course, I'm just using him as an example, he changed things and to take matters into our own hands who knows what might happen? A better example might be, if we cured a disease tomorrow that would drive somebody to become an important force in their field would the curing of the disease have been worth it?

I hate insects!! ! went on holiday a few years ago to Madeira we hired a house for two weeks and one night i woke up with a huge cockroach on my leg, they were everywhere they used to come in under the doors at night , i spent the whole two weeks spraying them with deathlac and.....crying that i wanted to go home haaaaaa.

well sorry to any innsect lovers for killing the Cockroach but it was him or me!

We don't really have any really scary insects in the UK. I wont harm any either unless it's a wasp I hate them buggers. Stinging people for no reason.

Are you an insect lover or insect hater ?

Yes! Especially flies.

I love insects! I used to tell people I wanted to be an Entomologist.

Insects are so interesting! They're like tiny, complicated robots....or maybe aliens. Exoskeletons are soooo cool.
