Why would you do this to your own child?

I'd never do this to mine. They're scared of bugs. Can only imagine what this would do to them.

Do you know what it's like to have an 18yo son who freaks out over a roach? When I was his age, we'd catch bugs with our hands and throw them to the chickens.

And? Roaches are gross and carry disease.

There's a reason why kids today live a lot longer.

I mean, nobody is saying to keep the fucking thing as a pet, but an 18yo guy shouldn't be freaking out over a roach. Grow a pair and kill it.

It's not about overpowering an insect. Have you seen fear factor, irrational fear sometimes ingrained in your DNA for evolutionary advantages.

That's part of growing a pair, overcoming your irrational fears and facing them. I'm not preaching anything I haven't done myself here.
