Warlight's threads are pretty light on social issues, so lets debate the legality of six-legged 'bugs'.

I'll start, no.

I agree they can bite you

death penalty.

Where do you guys stand on spiders?

I think spiders are OK they just shouldn't be able to marry

The ultimate in cuteness:


Edit:

Where do you guys stand on spiders?

I don't stand on spiders. I prevent other people from standing on them, because spiders are cute and awesome.

Spiders aren't insects...

In addition to being cute, wives eat their husbands and they make a deadly poison brew and often are quite stealthy. Sometimes, they will make your skin fall off if they want it to (Necrosis).

Is X afraid of spiders?

I'm against all Arthropods. They're just too different from me to allow them to exist.

Killing insects and spiders is acceptable in cases of self-defense, such as if the insect or spider is, at that moment, attempting to attack you or someone else.

@Жұқтыру I am only opposed to the murder of innocent spiders. It's acceptable (though not desirable) to kill spiders guilty of a major crime. However, I believe jumping spiders should be favored and granted extra rights that other spiders aren't granted, such as the ability to roam freely in my home and leniency if they do happen to bite.

What about Scorpions?

I am ashamed to say it, but I am guilty of killing several of those (scorpions), when their only crime was that of breaking and entering.

Scorpions usually are armed so you can't really be blamed

I usually leave spiders alone. If nothing else, they're a minor inconvenience when I'm trying to work out an equation on my work desk, or when i have to whizz in a public bathroom. I prefer to not engage them, because they usually set up shop in fly-heavy regions so I can leave a relatively comfortable life.

Still, I have a Phobia of them spindling down and crawling into my mouth. I know I'd likely swallow it, but if my TONGUE of all places got bit, I'd have a mental breakdown. Being in Texas sucks though, since we got Brown Recluse, Black Widow and this other spider. Which are all lethal. And they can bite into you and force a surgeon to remove an entire muscle region. My step-dad got bit in the leg by a Recluse, now that part of his leg is skinnier than the rest.

My actual dad got into a dusty spare work-suit from a closet while he was at a refinery. Long story short, he had to whip out his *rooster* in front of everyone, get a doctor to pull off the thing (the Recluse was latched onto with unbelievable force to the head region). His schlong didn't work right for a month. I had a month of peace in that period of my childhood, which I shall never forget. Oh, but immediately afterwards the mental scarring continued.

even when the thread is as pointless as insects, you derail it.

I HATE ANTS

I love ants.

I saw a colony of army ants once in Costa Rica and was warned that if I stepped on them I would be eaten alive

Antrael doesn't have a right to exist #freetermistine

^ LMAO

If only insects had a country for themselves where they couldn't be discriminated against.
