and when i'm landing after getting knocked high up, what's the best course of action
because obviously, air dodging doesn't always help if you're just gonna get hit when you land anyway

i feel like this game is 90% guessing games, and i'm incapable of making good guesses

2.  So a world with better resources to help people with their ailments means we shouldn't have children.   K.
I don't think I said anything remotely similar to that. You don't need to have kids to make the world a better place. You just don't.

"Wanting to start a family" and "continuing their family tree" are not good enough reasons to impose life on children. Far from it. Those are selfish reasons.

5.  Of course you can't escape bigotry.  Like I said, it will always exist. But now they're just a small, but very loud minority.  They can't do shit .
And yet countless minorities are often the brunt of all sorts of abuse. Racial profiling is still extremely prevalent in modern society, and the reason is because people are fucking racist. Don't tell me they can't do shit, because they can.

I don't care. It's not about you. It's about the future generations who will be born as a result of ignorant stupidity. Just because you think you're "going through life fine" (you're probably a 20-something, if that, so you know absolutely nothing about how shitty life can really get), doesn't give you the right to impose it on anybody else.

I'm just going to cut this down a bit, because I don't really feel inclined to spend more time over nitpicking. Call it whatever you like, I really just don't care for another round of quote pyramids over the same old shit.
I'll take it as a concession. You said a lot of really fucking dumb shit, and frankly, I would be embarrassed to be you. To say that I can't cite "the infirm" as evidence to suggest that life is serious shit, and that you probably don't have any right to impose it on anybody, just because you think that's "scummy" for some invisible reason, is absolutely preposterous.

I wouldn't wanna have to sit there and defend myself either, if I had said something that stupid.
Quote
The part I want to address more clearly is regarding mental illness, mostly because that's one of the few things in this discussion I genuinely care about as opposed to just kill time discussing.
Wonderful, because it's actually the part of the discussion that is not only in my least interest, it's also the furthest from the original topic. At least with anti-natalism, I could get away with it, but this is just a little bit too far gone, don't you think, Mr. Mod?
Quote
As it has been pointed out, there are people who wish to die that are not mentally ill. Typically that would include terminally ill patients, in countries where euthanasia is legal that is usually how it works.
Yeah, in the four countries where it's legal. Let's not act like it's this widespread thing, because it's not.
Quote
The reason that people who are not of a sound mind, in the medical/legal sense, are not allowed to be euthanised is because they are not making an informed choice - their mental illness is affecting their judgement and so any choice over their own mortality is suspended until they are shown to be healthy again. Then when they are treated/cured, if they still wished to die it would be more likely to proceed.
If we euthanized someone whose judgement was affected by the disease, I really don't think it would be that big of a tragedy. Especially because most people with terminal illnesses are essentially at the end of their lives anyway. They've probably had it. So to have this mommy state kind of thing where the mommy state is gonna tell you that your life is worth prolonging doesn't sound very appealing to me.
Quote
The part where you said that MHCs have an evil responsibility though, you think that preventing harm
Preventing harm? Are you familiar with the adage, "death heals all wounds"? I really don't see how prolonging one's suffering, which is essentially these people's job, is, in any way, preventing harm.
Quote
those around them
Look, even if one of my loved ones honestly and genuinely wanted to die, do you think I'd try to stand in their way? Well, maybe. But your choice to die should be no one's business but your own. It would be rather selfish of me to say that my loved ones have to live to sate my interests, because I want to have them around. That's a little bit selfish.

Quote
People who are in danger of harming others or themselves as a result of hallucinations, delusions, paranoia
And this has anything to do with the right to die? No, obviously, I only think part of what they do is evil. Making decisions for other people without their say-so tends to be pretty evil. Do most people want to live? Yeah. Do most people want to be operated on if they are injured? Yeah. But if there's one person who says he wants to end his life, I say give him that courtesy, regardless of whether he is of "sound mind" or not. And I'm sure there are a lot of people who have said something like that on their death bed, but managed to pull through, and then they looked back and said, "Wow, I must have been crazy for wanting to die."

But if you asked them if they'd like to relive that horror? You'd probably get an interesting result.
Quote
you see cases like the one in London a few months ago where a schizophrenic man stuck a pair of scissors into another man's chest as a result of his delusions. The guy died and the patient is now committed indefinitely, is it evil to force people like him to receive treatment?
Bla bla bla. Again, that's not the subject. I don't think I ever said that everything they do is evil.

tl;dr, don't try and raise a family because you have a small risk of giving your children diseases.
1 in 5.

That is COLOSSAL.

And it's not JUST diseases, asshole. Everything about life is pretty much just shit.
Quote
Well shit, thank God we have treatments so they can continue living happy lives if such a thing were to occur.
Good luck curing cancer, AIDS, diabetes, elephantiasis, harlequin ichthyosis, etc. etc. etc.

And again, that's not even touching upon things that'll ensure your kid's life will suck that aren't diseases. Most children are born in fucking poverty. Some are born homosexual in a culture that fucking HATES homosexuals. The horror just doesn't fucking end at diseases. It just happens to be a very poginant example.

I'd like to add that wanting to die isn't necessarily tied to mental instability; there are states in the US that allow euthanasia so long as the person is making the decision sound of mind.
How would that sort of thing be judged, anyway? Because, in my opinion, nobody is "sound of mind". What does that even mean, realistically?

I'll go ahead and tie the assisted suicide thing with the abortion thing.

No one actually wants to have an abortion, but you need to have the right to do it. Likewise, no one finds the act of suicide pleasant. You might even say that those who want to kill themselves are mentally ill. But you should still have the right to do it.

Okay, yeah, I don't think you did anything wrong. Stories like this are kind of sketchy, though, just because I'm only getting one side of it, but chances are, given your customer's reaction, I wouldn't have gotten a coherent or unbiased one on her end, either...

Because we haven't created a successor race yet, evolution is about achieving greater and greater forms so for the human race - one of the most promising results of evolution so far, you know with sentience and all that - to wipe itself out without at least leaving a positive legacy in the universe is selfish to the other beings that live in it.
And you accuse me of "mental gymnastics"... Jesus Christ. How could it possibly be selfish to run out the human race voluntarily? What's selfish is to impose life for your bizarre (and futile) ideal of "creating the ultimate race". Because we're going to fail.
Quote
Hell just Earth as an example, what kind of species rapes the bejeesus out of the planet and then decides to wipe itself out without cleaning up it's mess.
That's my argument, though. Anti-natalism is the mop that will clean up the final mess on planet Earth. Really, I'm also an efilist--I don't just think humans should go extinct. I think all life should go extinct. I'm not here to tell you how we could do that--I'm just trying to spread the idea and let people know that it's a good idea. If all life goes extinct, it doesn't matter what we leave behind. There's no one left to care.
Quote
I've said for a while now, if humanity can create a race of sentient machines to look after planets in a far better manner than we do then we can all die out and I wouldn't really care. Completing that goal isn't likely to happen anytime soon, so prematurely encouraging extinction is wrong.
It's not likely to happen any time ever.

Or because they don't want to live anymore. You forgot that really basic part that no one else would have ever missed.

Quote
Why? Why must you force people to continue living if they don't want to?
Because it is immoral to let someone die when they can be treated, forcing people to continue living is exactly what A&E do for attempted suicides or what sectioning does to the severely disturbed who frequently make attempts on their own life. A treatable mental illness causes them to wish to die/kill themselves, so just standing idly by and letting people jump/overdose/slice down the road rather than getting them the therapy that treats that mindset is wrong.
Why? You just restated your shitty point. If someone wants to die, why is it wrong to let them die? Because you think living is so much cooler? Why should they give a fuck about what you think?

Quote
Someone who has a mental illness is not in the right state of mind to be making decisions over their own mortality,
Who.

Cares.

Why does that matter.
Quote
The illness can be treated and then the wish to die has disappeared/receded, mental illness is not a terminal disease and people should not be dying because of it.
You can make these bogus arguments (you're pretending as though the only people who want to die are ones who are already severely ill, which is false), but it has nothing to do with our rights. Regardless of these shitty emotional appeals you're making, you should still have the right to kill yourself.
Quote
The families of the patient care, their friends and wider social circles. Their doctors and shrinks care too, letting someone kill themselves because you didn't give them the necessary treatment is one of the worst possible failings of a medical professional.
Unless they want to die. In which case, it's completely justified. If someone is suffering, and they don't want to live anymore, end it.

Quote

Wrong, it does matter. It's the responsibility of MHC workers to make sure that people afflicted with something like depression don't simply kill themselves
Then they have an evil responsibility.

Quote
Which in my book covers 99.99% of people with that sort of mindset, leaving room for the abnormals as always but people who want to die are either mentally ill or are trying to escape something like shame/restoring their honour etc. Someone who wishes they were never born and genuinely wants to die is mentally ill.
1. No they're not.
2. Even if they are, it doesn't matter. It will never matter.

People who want to die should have the right to die. It makes perfect sense that someone might be dissatisfied with the fact that they were forced into life by two fucktards.

I wonder why that is then, because I've seen plenty of people present sound arguments to you in the past and they all got the same dismissals.
Maybe because they're FUCKING WRONG.

If someone is wrong, you argue with them. I'm not going to fucking give up my philosophy just because a group of dumbfucks think I'm wrong. No, I think you're wrong, and I don't think I've received a single sound argument yet. Not a single person has been able to adequately answer the question, "why should the human race continue"?

And you had one of the shittiest answers yet.
Quote
And with people who live in the real world, existential angst tends to rank pretty low on their list of priorities. I'm pretty sure people can afford to be wrong over that, because when it's compared to things like securing a future for their families or their own success in life people will not really give a shit about whether their own existence is morally justifiable or if having children and grandchildren is an affront to one particular type of philosophy.
Which makes them all fucktards. Yes, it does.

Justifying your ideology by using the infirm as a reason not to 'risk' having children is just downright scummy.
