    I'd say that I'm sorry if you don't understand my concern for other living beings, but it's of no importance to me if other people agree or understand. Thank you for being concerned with my priorities though; it's nice to know people care.

    Don't listen to misterrain...Just take a look at the rest of her posts! hmmm

    I think a subject bringing up the life and death of other living beings is extremely important.

    But obviously some people have better things to do...Like going shopping or watching wheel of fortune.

    It is a tragedy of this world that we refuse to listen to those we disagree with. How then can we ever resolve our differences?

    I don't think anyone is really disagreeing with you. Rather, you did ask how to deal with something, I recall. So it's not like people are not relating to you but rather, they are also offering different concepts of which you may wish to seek to yourself understand. Since you perceived a need for different viewpoints.

    Hell, forget all this karma and compassion crap. The best way to get youself to nt kill the brown recluse spider is reliase that they are not agressive, and not at all deadly as far as adults are concerned. It is a common misconception that the brown recluse is argessive and deadly when in fact it is not aggressive and almost never deadly. It's bite has only been know to cause death in very young children, and even then only sickly children who were bitten multiple times. Their bites can cause lots of unplesantness however, here are good links.

    p.s. Another point of note is that since brown recluse spiders don't live in North Korea you should have nothing to worry about.[​IMG]

    p.p.s Oh, and to whomever said it. No, the brown recluse spider did not "make it's own decision" to be dangerous to humans, seriously, that's really rather silly.[​IMG]
