I let it in the house, well here so far spiders are harmless, And even my room their are like 5 of them.

Hate it so much you want but they are my best defenders against mosquitoe's

A normal summer night goes like this : ' Goes to bed, 2 minutes later...BzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ Snap (hit yourself in the face because you think it stopped at your face) BzzzzzzZZZZZ (yep I missed) the Bzzzzzzz goes on for like a half hour..Then I go out of bed kill all of them...and go back to bed ;... 2 minutes later.....BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ AAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGH...

Thx to the spiders I dont' have that problem anymore.

If it's an ugly spider I freak out for a few seconds, then I grab a disposable cup I have in my room specifically for that, I freak out some more while the cup is in my hand, and finally I take it outside the window. If it's an inoffensive spider I just leave it in my room because they eat other insects like mosquitos.

I'm glad to know many people in here take them outside.



Spiders are all well and good.  But what do you do WHEN YOU SEE A CROCODILE!?

man up, boy!  I'm sure many people have a crippling fear of Lead Poisoning, but we still have people fighting in wars to make the world a better place!  quit being a sissy and face your fears in a non-destructive way, pansy!  

Nothing wrong with phobias, almost everybody has one.


yep, I know, so cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it! 

Phobias and war are nothing alike.

Ever seen Indiana Jones? He doesn't mind having shootouts with Nazi's but as soon as he sees a snake he is out of there.

Seriously, it bugs me that people jump on the "It scares me so it deserves to die" bandwagon. As a race, I thought we were supposed to be 'better' than that.

I don't think you get it.

If somebody has a phobia of spiders (enter me), you can't leave it because you will be on the edge of your seat, some people are too afraid to pick it up or scoop it up and throw it outside and if you do that then the odds are they will be back in your house the next day. Spiders are pests, and where I live, if you don't keep their numbers under control you can end up with an infestation. I don't see the harm in killing an insect.

Sob uncontrollably for a few hours, then move to a new house.

Spiders look scary, 99.5% of them are entirely harmless aside from a little irritation and some pain.  hell, you're more likely to hurt yourself getting a sliver or a papercut than being bitten by a spider.  there's no reason to kill spiders unless you're like, Australian or Brazilian (fucking brazilian wandering spiders are a BITCH) 

But no matter the angle, there's no need to kill out of fear.  If you're a religious person, then you know that all of God's creations have a place in this land, and if you're more the sciency type, then you know that all species play their role in the circle of life.  in the grand scheme of things,  the life of a spider or maggot is more valuable than a human life.  

But that's a rant for a whole other day.
