What is an anti-natalist?
Quote from: Yutaka on September 11, 2014, 05:01:53 PMWhat is an anti-natalist?Of all the fucking questions to ask, could you not ask something so goddamn asinine?
Which is preferable: a conscious stabilization and 1:1 birth/death rate or a similarly self-imposed negative rate leading to the extinction of humanity?
Why are you so vitriolically hostile to everyone?Really, I don't have a problem with your beliefs, but the way you respond to people with such disdain for disagreeing or even communicating with you is insane.
Are you against animals reproducing too? Or just humans?
Do you actually think the entire human race could ever be persuaded to your side? Or that it's a worthwhile effort to make yourself miserable trying to make other people see their own misery?
Why are you one?The whole premise is absurd. Suffering is an important part of life. In fact, I'm glad I've had a life where I've suffered enough to truly appreciate even the smallest of things. You'll find those that have never suffered too much don't really enjoy their lives, and make mountains out of molehills. Life is so precious, and we have so much potential as a species. I can't understand why a single person on this Earth would not want us to succeed and explore the stars, come into contact with other cultures and elements. I can't see a reason as to why somebody would have this mindset, but let's see if you can give an explanation. Really, what led you to this? One bad experience, several bad experiences? All the suffering around the world?
I've seen people get tortured and killed. That doesn't mean I haven't seen the good in life. You think because there's bad things that happen the solution is to not even exist? What about happiness? Looks like you've given up. Did I want to be born? That doesn't even compute. I'm here and I'm going to do everything and anything to live as long as possible and as happily as possible. Why should I give up on existence because I'm going to have bad experiences? Why should any being do so? With bad there's good to balance it out.
You aren't forcing anybody into creation because there's nobody to ask.
And there is balance. Exact balance? No. But it's not something to get technical about. What I'm saying is there is generally an equal amount of good and bad in the human species and our lives as a whole.
What if somebody, ethically, just doesn't give a fuck about the aggregate suffering?
lol is this an actual practiced ideology? seems like some people over think things

Do you like anal?
I doubt anyone genuinely enjoys having a dick up their asshole.
Quote from: Lady Noelle on September 11, 2014, 06:06:12 PMDo you like anal?If she wanted it, I'd probably oblige, but I would never ask anyone. It seems really painful, and I doubt anyone genuinely enjoys having a dick up their asshole. Hurting people during sex is a bit of a turnoff for me, I don't know about you.
You do not understand the question. Do you like anal? I said nothing about you doing it to somebody else.
But what about if we have already had a kid, should I just not have another one?
what? i really can't take anyone with a stance like yours seriously, telling me to use my brain yet hoping for the extinction of humanity...
They're going to exist. But they're going to have a good life as far as I'm concerned.
Will other people create bad experiences for them? Of course. But these things make you a stronger person.
There is no way to justify the holocaust of the Jews or any other genocide that took place and is taking place today. There's no way to justify any sort of violence on innocents. The point is we keep going and strive to one day become a unified species and grow and explore together. It WILL happen.
Life is worth living. Otherwise, why don't all the people that live in slums across the world just off themselves? Because they want better.
It's how we're "programmed" for lack of a better word. We just are. I never questioned why I exist and I'm not about to right now. We deserve to be here because we're the best on the planet. Eventually we'll unify. For now, we're still very primitive. That's exactly why we have to keep going and we need as many good people in the world as possible.
This was answered. If I can't empathize with people who do like anal, what makes you think I would like anal?In other words, no, I don't.
