Bastards of the Animal Kingdom

Adders? Although they're pretty rare these days I'm afraid.

Two annoying insects: the horse fly which wont leave you alone and when it bites you, you come out in a massive and itchy red lump; then of course there's the midge which isn't painful but just very, very annoying! I once spent a summer working outdoors in Skye. Aarrgh!

 

Says who? Some sort of stat that could easily be made up?

Let's look at it in a real life situation. If you had a bee/wasp coming towards you (as is normal this time of year) or a wild dog which you didn't know so could easily bite or attack you at any time. Which would scare you most?

 

The human race.

Disgusting, selfish creatures who have ruined the planet with pollution and wiped out entire species of other creatures.
They continue to suck the world of all it's natural resources and will ultimately destroy any chance of anything being able to survive on this planet.

Apart from that they're fine.

 

I'm not sure how many they kill but it's down to being allergic to them.

 

The Bees and Wasps, which kill more people.

 

Do you get many wild dogs in Britain? Foxes I suppose.

 

Yeah ok

I must be one of very few people to have survived several bee/wasp stings then

 

A cleg. Painful bloodsucking wee bastard. Having a hornet joining me in the living room aint something I enjoy happening too often either.

 

I fail to see what's amusing about people dying from Bee and Wasp stings. Perhaps you could explain?

 

Different story if you were allergic though.

 

It's not funny that people die from it but it is funny listening to your reasoning behind your argument

I'm sure more people die while driving than they do while walking but most of the country still drive don't they? Your point about bees and wasps killing more people is pointless

 

You asked my opinion you imbecile, so I gave it. My opinion is that whilst I am not particularly afraid of either Bees, Dogs or Wasps, I believe a Dog is not as lethal, based on the evidence that fewer people are killed by them than by Wasps and Bees.

And I must say that it's funny listening to you talk ****.

 

Midges should be on the list. Anyone who's been on the west coast of Scotland will know what I mean

 

No what I done was ask you a question about how you would react being put in a certain situation and yes you did give your opinion but it was based on some sort of stat and not how you would actually react in the given moment

If you're being honest and saying that in a situation with a bee and a dog coming towards you that your first thought would be "oh I read somewhere that bees kill more people than dogs so i fear the bee more" then fair enough. That wouldn't be my first thought but we're all different I suppose

 

Surely it would depend on whether someone was allergic to bee stings?

 

i hate Chihuahuas.
the small little ****es never stop ****ing barking,they are vicious little bastards and they look unnatural.

I went into a pet shop one time and asked for a wasp. The guy said "we don't sell wasps".

I said "well you have one in the window".

 

Well if Viking was allergic to bee stings then I'd understand his reasoning a bit more but he's not said if he is or not. There may also be the case that he IS allergic to bee stings but doesn't know it yet as he's never been stung so in that case that thought wouldn't even be going through his head

 

But people who are allergic would be more wary of a bee than of a dog?
