and they give me the creeps, but there is no need for this. I went to the Donghaumen Night market in Beijing and they had skewers with live scorpions impaled on them waiting to be grilled. It was horrible.
I know it's a pathetic English thing but I am pathetic and English, so I think it's ok.

Anyone who hurts an animal intentionaly or causes suffering needs their genitals pushed into a belt sander!

the next time you intentionally swat a fly or stand on a beatle, I hope your bollocks implode and your face melts like a 4 cheese pizza.

And nor does anyone who objects to this video.

That is a pure generalisation, and is paramount to someone saying "I don't lie".

I asked you to ignore me 5 minutes ago after reading your pathetic whiney posts.
Go smoke some fucking granola.

Ok i can only speak for myself, I retract the rest of what I said. But I fail to see how your assumption about hypocrisy is any less an assumption. I'm just saying don't apply the standards of your own black and wizened soul to everyone else. What grounds would anyone have to object if they went around causing intentional suffering to insects all the time?
Personally i don't do it and havent since i was about 4 and had enough emotional maturity to empathise. So if I did object i certainly wouldn't be hypocritical. As it happens i dont give a fuck who or what you or the gentlemen in the video choose to kill needlessly. Knock yourselves out.
*edit* but if you try to kill me i'll tear your vas deferens out. Just so we're clear.

Because your human. I can guarantee you have swatted a few flies in your time, you can shout about how saintly you are as much as you want, but you're only lying to yourself.

And that avoiding killing stuff needlessly is saintly.

you wouldn't hand pick them out and place them outside or tell the exterminators to empathize
Edit: nothing personal against you or anything, just think everyone's getting their knickers in a twist really

I would underline unnecessary. I have no issues with killing stuff as humanely as possible for food or territory. Minor annoyance, a whim, or because the Internet wants to see just isn't a good enough reason for me thats all.
Like i said I'm not trying to moralise or persuade here. Just saying if i found this video offensive it wouldn't be hypocritical.
*edit* likewise - you make a good point and it is actually something I personally do think about and would agonise over. I'm sure many would think it pretty daft.
