It doesn't even really take an anti-natalist stance to know that having kids is a bad idea. And I'm just gonna reiterate that, once again, if it were me, I probably couldn't bring myself to do it. 36034
Serious / Re: I have a question for Verb regarding anti-natalism« on: June 22, 2015, 07:47:44 PM »Smothering the baby seems sorta contradictory.The idea is that it should never have been conceived in the first place; it's really not much different than an abortion in my eyes. Obviously, there comes a point where killing another human being is unacceptable, but I don't think that, in this particular scenario, it has reached that point. And it wouldn't suffer. It would die in its sleep. Even if it did suffer, a short thirty seconds of it to prevent potential years of it seems like small beans to me. 36035

And no, admitting that it's justified doesn't mean that you're okay with murder. It just means that you look at the situation for what it is, and you say, "Well, that's really horrible, but it makes sense, and it's better than the alternative."
I'm just trying my hardest to be reasonable with you. 36042
Serious / Re: I have a question for Verb regarding anti-natalism« on: June 22, 2015, 05:08:32 PM »Because I think things are balanced does NOT equal to thinking the Holocaust was justified. Get that pseudo bullshit outta here.If the Holocaust wasn't justified, how could you think that the world is balanced? What do you base this assertion on? And what I'm asking you is, if the world really is as terrible as I make it out to be, would you think it's justified to smother a newborn in order to prevent it from living in such a terrible place? That's what I'm asking. If your answer is no, why? If your answer is yes, then your problem lies not with me being okay with smothering a newborn, but with my opinion that the world is garbage. And I'm not really interested in having the debate, at least right now, of whether the world is garbage. 36043

I have no clue where you're getting that idea.If you think all the good and bad in the world is balanced out, then yes, you think the Holocaust was justified. I don't know what else that could possibly mean. And yes. If you could just give me the benefit of the doubt for a moment. 36045

What I look at is history. What you're telling me right now is that the Holocaust was justified, and I'm saying that you're absolutely incorrect. Something tells me, though, even if you were to look at it from my perspective, you still wouldn't be able to see where I'm coming from. I hope I'm wrong. 36049

Serious / Re: I have a question for Verb regarding anti-natalism« on: June 22, 2015, 04:26:32 PM »If you've created a good (as it could be) life for the child, and then realise "Oh shit, having children is wrong", would it not follow that you allow things to stay the same between you and the child?Well, if you have a roof over your head, you're feeding him three meals a day, you're bathing him, you're talking to him, you're playing with him, you're teaching him, you're sending him off to school, he's getting good grades, he's making a lot of friends, and he's not getting bullied, and you always take care of him when he's sick, etc. etc. etc. That's a pretty good sign. Failing to meet any of those criteria is a bad sign. If you're doing a bang-up job as a parent, then you're golden. Keep it up. 36053
Serious / Re: I have a question for Verb regarding anti-natalism« on: June 22, 2015, 04:18:23 PM »Oh, okay. Yeah, if that's the case, I agree. But what would constitute a life that would "suck"? If you've been, in your opinion, a good father to a child, would it not follow that things would stay the same?The same as what? Sorry, I don't quite follow the question. 36054
Serious / Re: I have a question for Verb regarding anti-natalism« on: June 22, 2015, 04:14:26 PM »Too bad you have literally zero evidence to support that claim.To disagree with that statement would be to concede the notion that all the good in the world is balanced out perfectly by all the bad in the world. Do you honestly believe that there are equal parts good and bad in the world? Quote Plus, there is no rule anywhere saying you must enjoy a perfect life.If you steal all your parent's money to gamble it away at the casino, you better be 100% sure you come back with more money than you brought in. 100%. Not 99%. 100%. Otherwise, it's completely unjustified. 36055

And by the way, I'm gonna stress again that if you wouldn't kill the newborn, I wouldn't judge you at all.
I'm just saying, if it happened, I wouldn't care. It would be justified, in my opinion. I haven't even went into what I would do if I was in her position, because I don't know what I'd do. 36056
Serious / Re: I have a question for Verb regarding anti-natalism« on: June 22, 2015, 04:06:03 PM »
The potential for suffering outweighs the potential for happiness.
It would only be unjustifiable if the child were to have the perfect life. And nobody has ever lived a perfect life. And there's no way of knowing that it would have a perfect life anyway. 36057
Serious / Re: I have a question for Verb regarding anti-natalism« on: June 22, 2015, 03:57:58 PM »Yes, because smothering an innocent baby in its sleep is so sophisticated. Dumbass.better than forcing it to live out the miserable, fruitless life that it would inevitably have but what the hell is nuance when you can have black and white morality like that 36058

It's great that you do, but like you said, it's a little uncanny. 36060
Serious / Re: I have a question for Verb regarding anti-natalism« on: June 22, 2015, 03:40:03 PM »Another scenario I have trouble with: what if the woman I loved wanted children? That was the only thing in the world she wanted, and she didn't want to adopt? What would I do? I'd want to give the world to my wife, but from a morality standpoint, I know it's wrong. I'd obviously try to explain my standpoint to her, but at the end of the day, I'm still denying the ONE THING she's wanted her entire life to the one person I love.If it were me, I'd have to leave her. Simple as that. I know it may not be as simple for you, and believe me, I've thought about scenarios like this before, and they scared the hell out of me. But I've had this philosophy for nearly three years, and it's basically my heart and soul, so... It doesn't really take much thought for me. Part of being an anti-natalist, of course, is taking initiative. Before you get into a relationship with anybody, make sure to find out first if they have any desire of becoming a biological parent. Quote Wait - I'm confused. Are you saying that if you have children, and then realise too late that having children is wrong, you should put them up for adoption?You should take whatever course of action you feel will be best. Adoption is just one thing you could do, if your child's life is guaranteed to suck if you continue to be its parent. Quote Same. When I try to explain anti-natalism to my friends, they all think I'm so sociopathic murderer, whereas in reality, I'm the exact opposite.Yeah, I've been there. I still am there, in some folks' opinions. They're morons, though. Pay them no mind. |
