I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents.

“Nothing new under the sun” I suppose!

    Absolutely I do. And I don’t understand what makes a person think that bringing a new life into this disaster is a good idea.

      Well, hopefully you at least feel thankful that so many of your ancestors brought children into a world much more filled with pain and suffering and death than today.

        I’m not, lmao. My life sucks. Wtf is with all the breeders here trying to justify their contributions to climate change!? There is immensely more pain and suffering in our immediate future than there was at any point in human history. We are literally looking at the end of humanity here.

            Lmao, did you really just tell someone to kill themselves because they don’t want to have children?

            And you think you respect life. What irony.

                  The question mark at the end means it’s a question, seems a pretty fair question to me. If there’s nothing for kids to be here for, and it’s a miserable shithole, and ruining the planet, why would you want to be here either?

            I’m here because I’m trying to figure out what’s going on in your head. You’re trying to justify having children when we’re barrelling towards the most dire point of humanity’s history, one that will potentially cause the extinction of our species, while the powers that be are putting their foot on the gas. What the fuck is wrong with you?

            Yeah, I’m going to call you a breeder because it appears that your not practicing responsible parenthood, you’re just breeding like an animal.

            …unless you were trying to indirectly tell me to kill myself. If so then grow a pair and say it to my face. I’m still here because I know I’ll hurt the people around me if I end my life. That’s it. That’s the only reason why I still live. I’m a trans gal in Texas. I don’t have much to look forward to.

            Do the rest of the world a favor and get yourself neutered, breeder.

              I’m not trying, nor will I ever try, to justify a goddamned thing to a hateful fuck like you, just pointing out you’re a logically inconsistent hypocrite.

                You haven’t done anything of the sort. The only reason why I’m still here is for others. Are you telling me that the only reason why children exist is for the benefit of others? That’s really fucking disturbing.

                You’re mad because you know that I’m right. You’re mad because you know that the creation of children cannot be justified in this day and age. You’re mad because somewhere inside your skull, you’ve come to the realization that (if you’ve created children) you’ve brought them into what is very likely a doomed world in which they will eventually experience a hell like nothing any other human had ever experienced.

                Good job, you selfish asshole. Your children may one day grow to be miserable and ask you why you had to bring them into the world. Then you will have to face them, look them in the eye, and tell them that it was all about your own happiness, not theirs.

                  Oh you’re so selfless, living in misery and taking part in ruining the planet on the way to certain doom, all for others! You’re a judgy, hateful asshole, really couldn’t care less what people of your ilk think about me. Have the day you deserve.

                    Aww, you’re so mad! People only get mad like that when they know that someone has a logically sound argument but they’re deep in denial. When that happens, emotions take over and the caveman comes out.

                    Edit: also, I’m actually looking forward to today, I believe I’m going to have a very nice day with friends. A brief respite from my hellish, self-destructive existence. It’ll hopefully be nice and chill. Maybe I’ll even get to cuddle with someone! That’d be nice.
