"The Great Asian Glue Attack of 2005"
The members at too_much_info don't flinch at much. After all, this is a community brought together by the best stories involving bodily functions not usually mentioned at cotillions (the content might not be worksafe for some).

Piss, poo, fart, bleed, leak, jiggle, splort or marinate and no one cares. In fact, they writhe with glee. [info]nathanmock kills some ants with superglue and people get offended. [info]rancid_placenta says "This post makes me sad :("

Which leads to the debate on whether ants qualify as "animals." Which segues into poking fun at furries...like you do (this part ends pretty funny).

Which leads to serial killer prophecies, Dubya bashing, Dr. Phil and poor comma use.

It was all over until [info]cathead001tries to set the record straight so that people will leave the ant torturer alone. "since i am a biology major, i realize ants are importent to the environment and that we would not be able to function without them and blahblahblah. but, there are MILLIONS of them on this earth, so i don't think it makes all that much of a difference if some of them get killed. and as to the torturing, well, anyone who gets all hyped about ants getting tortured needs to get their priorities straight. they are just ANTS. if u think ants getting torured is bad, then go take a look at all the damage in asia due to the tsunamis, and while ur at it, go take a look at all the pictures of the bloated corpses floating around. THATS what u should be getting all hyped up about-not about a bunch of ants getting tortured. seriously, all these people who made a fuss about ants being tortured need a wake up call."

It doesn't work.</lj>

Bonus: Ants are like Jehovah's Witnesses.

[info]mydarkerside sums it up nicely with, "Only in this community will people flip out about a few fucking dead ants and then not feel anything when they see a picture of hundreds of dead tsunami victims."

Wow... O_o

As for people who think you shouldn't kill ants, I can only assume they live somewhere where there either are none, or the houses are built much better than the ones here. Because of all the rain lately I've had ants swarming my desk all week, so I really can't find much sympathy.

Hey, I think we should call it "Poseidon's Law": The likelihood of any Internet opinion being discarded because a bunch of people got killed by a large wave.

If he woke up and found 10 Jehovah's Witnesses in his bathroom, yes he would have the right to defend himself.

::cackles:: that'd sure be a crowded bathroom.

I do like the image of one guy fending off 10 Jehovah's Witnesses with a toilet plunger ninja-style.

I think if I found ten Jehovah's Witnesses in my bathroom, I'd worry less about how crowded it was and more about WTF they were all doing in my bathroom, of all places.

Then I'd come to my senses and beat them all off with my hairdrier.

Ants are animals. They're part of kingdom Animalia (cladists form a line 'round the back). Which would have been obvious to anyone who took two seconds to Google it.

This makes me sad: "Ants are insects, not animals."

So if they're not animals, then what did they think insects were exactly? Some sort of cheese? A type of fungus?

I think someone had distant, distant memories of a biology class. Unfortunately, those memories dripped through a filter of stupid, forming a nasty mess like really bad 7-11 coffee.

there are MILLIONS of them on this earth

Ha! Do you have any idea how many ants were killed by the tsunami? I bet it was MORE than millions.

OMG has anybody checked if there are any ants left? Do we have negative ants now?

The last ant?! Wow, you're so lucky! Forget about the myrmewhatever, put it on Ebay!!!! It must have a collectors value of MILLIONS of money!

And belated happy birthday, besides.

My fav bit is the "are mushrooms plants" argument. *

And if I found ten Jehovah's Witnesses in my bathroom, I'd be willing to smother them with superglue, on the super scientific rational that I think JWs are a form of mold.




*Genetically, the fungaloids are closer to the animals than to the plants...so if, for some unfathomable reason, everything has to be flora or fauna, then mushrooms get to be fauna. Yay for them.

Now really, would any of those people be complaining if he glued a few roaches to the floor? But it's cute ickle ants, so it's different!

Yeah, and the next time an ant bites them, the first thing they'll do is swat it and annihilate any other ants in the immediate area.

... though I have to wonder why people seem to be so upset by the idea that there's a connection between that kind of impulse and the one of a murderer, and on the other side, why is it to hard to see that's a very common, very human impulse when not taken to the extremes (ie, serial killing). When you get a kick out of bitching at someone on the Internet for daring to get a kick by a bunch of ants dying, you're experiencing the same type of rush they are experiencing.

I hate the binary logic of the Internet.
