USSoldier11B 0 Posted August 20, 2002 As I've stated before, I've been bitten by just about every venomous North American species and survived, so I'm pretty indifferent. My girlfriend is so afraid that she won't even get close enough to kill them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R. Gerschwarzenge 0 Posted August 20, 2002 I don't mind the small spiders but if they get larger then I don't want to be in the same room with them. I don't like these. They run too fast. See the egg it's carrying? My friend once wanted to see what's inside of it and soon his hands and arms were full of small spiders. He almost freaked out. I'd like to buy a tarantula and get rid of my fear and disgust of large spiders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col. Kurtz 0 Posted August 20, 2002 Maybe it was living in New Zealand for my first 11 years, but Im not freaked by spiders. Im in Australia now, but I havent seen any red backs creeping around my room(they dont come indoors ) I have a rule, if they bother me, I wont bother them. I have stuck by that rule, and so have they. You know, if spiders could talk Human talk, they would probably say they are absolutely terrified of us. We tower over them, and we have all these nasty weapons to kill them with, and we kill them even when their minding their own business. I think why humans are terrified of them in 1. they look creepy 2. We are afraid of something so small that can kill us and has a power over us, we dont like that) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted August 20, 2002 I had tons of nightmares when I was young. One of them was that I woke up late at night (but of course I was still sleeping). I had some kind of itching in the top of the finger (the one next to the thumb). So I was scratching it. Suddenly it turned more and more into a pimple so I squeezed it. First there was only some dark mustard coloured liquid coming out of it. Then suddenly it ripped open and all of that stuff came out and then a little spider (that I guess lived inside my finger, sort of parasite or so) came out of it and ran all over the floor. After all that stuff came out of my finger the tip was totaly sucked out and only skin was left. The spider was realy ugly, circled around me and tried to get back into me at a different spot. This dream was not very nice! But in real life spiders dont make me freak! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same for snakes, why are they so scary? When they look at you, their face never changes, they never show emotions. Us humans don't understand that so we think it's creepy. You'll find this in horror movies too, the bad guys don't show a lot of emotions... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLight 0 Posted August 20, 2002 Oh and i'm not scared of spiders at all, i don't understand why you can be so scared of them. They can't even bite you cuz their jaws are too small! Here's a pic for the spider lovers.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spiderman6999 0 Posted August 20, 2002 love spiders, seen a lot of black widows here in vegas, but havent seen a lot of brown recluse. i only hate one type of spider and thats the ones in certain places around saudi arabia, i think they are called camel spiders but i could be wrong, those things are huge and they get in your bed and eat on ya while you sleep. they chase you too, a buddy of mine had one chase him from the tent to the truck, little shit bout jumped in the truck too, my buddy was screamin like a little girl. pretty sure he crapped his pants. them things are nasty. spidey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acidcrash 0 Posted August 20, 2002 the ultimate way to kill a spider... get a deo-can and a match or lighter...target spider...spray through flame onto spider till it sets alight and is running around in flame (better for those in the UK...coat in "Physio sport" then set on fire) i hate them as you can see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
