And like I said, they're bugs, whoever gives a damn about this is a major pussy.
You should never look down upon our fellow denizens of planet earth, let alone a sentient being.
Well, whether they're sentient or not is unknown. From what we know, they sense and react much like computers, but they don't feel and don't have awareness.
bug fights are disgusting, yet interesting. I feel sorry for the bugs that just wanted out. Most of the bugs didnt want to fight either, but the bloody cage was too small.

Do you have any evidence/sources to backup your claims? The feeling of pain is the most important feeling, as it keeps you from doing stupid things and die. I am sure all those insects feel immense pain when they die, as the pain is there trying to persuade them away from death.
my gf kinda convinced me that this is SORTA wrong, but I still think it is cool. The whole idea of watching LIVING creatures battle to the death is kinda sick. gawd she is rlly turning me into a wimp.

that is entirely misguided and based on philosophical crap with no scientific basis behind it. the reason we feel pain is due to our nervous system being able to turn chemical signals into physical ones. invertebrates have a nervous system that pales in comparison; they have no spine obviously. so to personify their "feeling" to anymore more than basic survival instinct is foolish
i dunno why so many ppl are such pussies about bug fights. the way i see it, bugs r like fat and ugly ppl, because they have no feelings.so anything is game.

Your name is Ansible, so I assumed you've read Ender's game. You should know better.
this is interesting in the same sort of way i would've gone to the amphitheater to watch gladiators kill each other back in the glorious days of ancient rome. it's sick but still i wish there was something like gladiator fights nowadays in big stadiums. you could let criminals fight each other or something, of course noone ever wins freedom, they have to fight or they're tortured brutally and left crippled for the rest of their lives. wee cruelty! i sort of drifted here.
