That’s fair, and not an unreasonable choice. What I can’t get over is people acting like that’s the only reasonable choice, and that people who have children are idiots.

Just look around in this thread and you’ll see some smug ass attitudes. It kind of reminds me of those 14 year old kids who feel immensely smart because they’re atheist, you know?

I didn’t say people who have children are idiots. I just think it’s immoral

Ok lol, my point remains exactly the same and I think your viewpoint is incredibly reductive.

You really think it’s ethical to bring another human into this world?

I don’t think it’s objectively and clearly unethical, so I think your claim that it is is wrong.

Why do you think it’s not?

The only way to experience suffering is to be alive. The only way to be born is without consent

So? The only way to contribute to community is to be alive. The only way to feel joy is to be alive.

Consent doesn’t make sense for a nonexistant being.

I really appreciate this point of view. I don’t strongly find myself on either side of the isle here, but I think you are making stronger points than those supporting the mainstream opinion that procreation is essential and important.

The argument against you seems to be “but there have been worse times to have kids, and people still had them.” That is emphatically not a good argument.

You’re awfully judgy for someone who doesn’t like other people judging you for having kids.

Just let people have a difference of opinion to you. It’s okay if some people look down on your choices. This is inevitable in life.

I don’t even have kids lol
Calling people out for being condescending is not the same as being condescending. This reeks of the same mentality that people who unironically say hating racists makes you hateful and therefore just as bad as racists have.

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
