Srsly.

What did bugs do to you? What did they ever do to you? They're annoying, yeah, but should you really kill them just for that? Or is it because you're bigger than them and are able to kill them, that's a perfectly good reason to squash bugs?

And don't pull that "Oh, bugs carry diseases!" I won't argue against that, but seriously. The odds of you contracting a disease from a bug is low. Very, very, VERY low.

A lot of you probably hate bugs. But just because you hate something doesn't give you the right to kill them. I mean, if everyone killed all that they hate, where would we be? I mean, eventually, no matter how good you are, one person, just ONE PERSON will probably hate you. And if the rule above applies, then guess what: You're dead.

I'm not saying you have to like them. I'm just saying that you should think about what you're doing before you crush a bug.

I reserve the right to kill mosquitos or any other biting flies that come near me.

If a bug tries to suck out my vital fluids through it's disease infected needle mouth thing, leaving an incredible itchy and annoying bump, I think I deserve to kill it

Well, before I make ANY assumptions, or accidently create a flame war, Let me ask you this:
If a mosquito comes up and bites you...Would you kill it?

Bugs dont put up a fight simply as that. they look different. Difference causes dispute, and dipute causes war. now If a man, is alone in the universe, and another man, but different, meets up with this man, they see difference, and dont like it. neither of them wish to change. or get their asses beaten, so dispute erupts. Bugs, have wiggling black limbs, big eyes, and odd threatining shapes. we see them and go AHHH SHIT!!!!! DEATH BUG GOING TO KILL MEH!!!!!! so we squish the hell out of them. or its territorial, and i dont want no one in my house so squish. plus its just fun to do

I kill mosquitos, because if they bite, they leave an itch.
I kill flies because their legs are covered in bacteria and feces.
I kill hornets because they are mean insects that sting.

That's my reason.

Any bug that assumes the right to intrude into my home is as good as dead.
Just like if a random person intruded into my house and started making himself at home, i would probably beat the shit out of him with a golf club.

Hey guys, just got ba- WTF HAPPENED TO NEWGROUNDS???

Why? All because it's acting on instinct? I've already said that the probability of contracting a disease from a bug is low.

I only kill mosquitos, grubs, and insects that are potentially harmful or cause me discomfort. I go to absurd lengths to keep from killing other bugs. I will stop mowing my lawn just to move a caterpillar out of the way.

Also one of the top things I hate in the world are mosquitos....What do they do other than bite and pollinate? They don't even pollinate that much, and thre are many other pollinaters, so there is pretty much no reason for them to live.

All those are things you can control. Don't want a fly on your food? Swat it away! It'll leave! Don't want a mosquito to bite you? Swat it away! Don't get mad at them for doing something you could have prevented but didnt.

The old testament tells me they are a plague on the earth (I'm not joking or making this up, it is in the 613 commandments) and that I should kill them whenever possible. So I will.

On the scientific side, many bugs can spread diseases such as the bubonic thread, and others can cause uneeded or desired stress which leads to other health problems.

So both moral guidelines of society are telling me to kill them, and you think I shouldn't because its the nice thing to do. I'm sorry, but the bugs must die.

i kill bugs becase they either:

1.) bite
2.) land on me, because it feels really annoying
3.) owe me money
4.) land on my tv and just sit there all night
5.) get into my food or bed or anywhere else they shouldn't
6.) if they make too much noise
or
7.) if i have a magnifying glass/lighter/can of raid/ water and im bored
