    More than you.
    Let these words be as sand in the cogwheels of reason,
    as a malign disturbance in the sustainment of universe,
    and let each quark of this degenerated microcosm
    stand as a citadel of cold and deliberate hatred.
    Let there come a glorious error in the patterns of the world.
    Let the tainted foundations of reality crumble
    and let us hope nothing comes afterwards,
    so the gravest of mistakes we all blindly wander in
    will finally come to an end.

    I have probably killed a million or more with my Mosquito eater machine and have directly smashed at least a few thousand in my lifetime!

    I used to enjoy killing mosquitoes with my electric fly swatter when I lived in Indonesia... but they got banned in that country because abusive parents were whacking their kids with them.

    But apparently, you can get them in Canada now.

    I believe in "live and let live" and don't kill them unless they try to bite me. Sadly, I am very bad at killing those that try to bite me, but compensate for it by non-harmful avoidance measures - not going out where there are lots of mosquitoes and wearing protective clothing.

    I'm going camping soon so I bought a nice bottle of "natural" insect repellent. However, I have a plan-B. It took me awhile to find it, after sifting through dozens of 30%/70% active/inert ingredients brands. I finally found me 99% DEET!! No way flies and mosquitoes are going to disrupt my outdoor tranquility (as they did the last time I went fishing).

    Principle: No post of mine will be augmented with information external to myself (excluding links to previously understood knowledge). I will not search for any new information prior to, and associated with, a particular post.

    My goal in life is to understand the world I live in. Philosophy alone is no good unless it is anchored to reality. To do that requires an understanding of science (space) and history (time). Philosophy+science+history=The complete epistemological package.

    horrible, i could not dream of hitting anyone with something like that it must have seriously injured the children, or killed them.
    why were you in indonesia?

    i used to live in a rough area with little drainage so big pools of water formed after it rained and they would breed like crazy in the morning my net over my bed was covered with them and i was awoken always by the pericing buzzing sound of thousands of these devils, i would grab a handful threw the net and easily kill 1000,
    i live in a good area and it is not as much of a problem these days
