Probably a bad one. I agree that killing insects is fine if there's a reason. But I was reacting to "I kill things because they annoy me." Which is valid, but always frustrating.
My parents used to flip out and kill caterpillars, spiders, etc whenever they saw them. More than once I'd notice one and corral them outside while my parents weren't looking. There's just no point in killing something because it simply exists.
None of this probably matters though.
- notpresident 10y agoAt home it was my Dad who told me to be nice to spiders. :-)

- red75prime 10y agoSure, they are good at killing flies and you don't have to feel sorry killing flies yourself. Win-win.
- nh2 10y agoKilling things only when you have to is objectively the safer choice when it comes to not feeling bad about yourself in the future.
