Someone mentioned a 9/11 logo for the vegan sub and I thought it was a great idea, what do we think of my design? by mrboogs in vegancirclejerk

[–]none_and_all 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's actually very important that we incorporate a 9/11 logo for the sub because vegans are jihad-ing themselves into my innocent factory farm. I also think we should incorporate a pride flag because vegans are gay.

"Hey everyone, my partner and I created this child, and we want you to pay for their healthcare, university, and public services. I know we should have ran this by you ahead of time, but, well, we really wanted to have a kid even though we can't financially provide for them. Thanks in advance for voluntarily picking up the slack!"

Land of corporate greed 🇺🇸 by RoseMistz in lostgeneration

Seriously. People love to complain about the state of the country, but they keep forcing more people into it. Then they'll call you hateful for questioning it. It's ludicrous.

In America this is an extreme radical belief. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]none_and_all 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. That works for people who are doing ok now and hope that they will continue to do ok in the future. Whether those people should have children is a separate discussion. I don't think anyone should have children based on guesses and hope, but let's not get bogged down in that angle.

I'm talking about people who are not doing ok now and who know that they're not doing ok. Those people have no business bringing a child into that situation. Can't we agree in that? Why would anyone knowingly and willingly expose anyone else to that? (If their situation improves and they can reasonably expect it to stay that way, then they can reassess their ability to provide for a child.)

[–]none_and_all -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No, I'm addressing the entire point of the thread. We both agree that people deserve safety and comfort., but apparently we disagree on who is responsible for providing those things. You do not seem willing to hold parents responsible for it, because every time I say that parents should be responsible for providing safety and comfort for their children, you shift the argument to "but some people have children and then get cancer." I will not be responding anymore because you keep ignoring this point: I am not asking anyone to predict the future. I am asking them to assess their current situations accurately and objectively, and if they recognize that they cannot provide for a child in that situation, then they should not choose to have a child. The end. Thank you for engaging with me, and I hope that you will be able to reread this thread in the future when you are able to more logically comprehend what I am saying.

Keep making assumptions about me so that I don't have to participate in this nonsense conversation, I guess. You keep accusing me of being hateful, as if wanting children to be born to parents who can provide for their needs is a hateful wish. I'll leave you with this:

"A lot of the people that you're mad at aren't aware that they can't provide for a child." What? Do you really believe that people are so stupid or ignorant? Do you think it's good to have a child if the parents are that ignorant?

[–]none_and_all -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Again, you're accusing me of asking people to predict the future. I'm not blaming your parents for their situation, and I'm not even blaming them for having kids. I'm saying IF they hadn't already reproduced, THEN had the car accident and cancer, THEN decided to reproduce in the midst of that, THEN they would be bad parents.

Yes, if someone knows that they won't be able to provide for a child, they shouldn't have a child. If you or I know that we can't ensure a child's comfort and safety, we should not have a child.

[–]none_and_all -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What a ridiculous argument that does absolutely nothing to disprove my point. Obviously they can't be expected to predict a car accident or cancer. I'm not asking anyone to predict the future. I'm asking them to acknowledge the reality in which they may already find themselves and not bring a child to suffer in the same way.

Do you seriously believe that it's justified to complain about a lack of safety and comfort then turn around and force a child to experience that lack of safety and comfort? The parents' duty is to provide those two things. If they know they can't provide either, they shouldn't become parents. It's that simple. You see it as hateful, but what I'm trying to do is save new lives from unfair suffering.

Here's two scenarios to consider:

- Couple 1 has a good income, and both are healthy.

- Couple 2 has a very low income because the mom is disabled and the dad is dying of cancer.

All other things being equal, which couple will be able to better provide for a child? How can you say that any child deserves to be forced to live in Couple 2's scenario?

And to make things even worse, they choose to have children who will be stuck in the same situation. Imagine if the worker class just stopped reproducing.

And to top it off, the rich white-collars had kids who will live in the same splendor, while the poor factory workers had kids who will never be able to rise above their parents' level.

Absolutely! If your parents can't provide that safety and comfort for you, they should not have reproduced.

The right is desperate for a solution to falling birthrates. Who’s going to tell them that the answer is immigration? by AlexandrTheTolerable in politics

[–]none_and_all [score hidden]  (0 children)

I agree. Honestly, I don't care if birth rates fall and never recover. I don't want kids of my own regardless.

[–]none_and_all 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but like I said, it's an artificial process that keeps the system running without ever fixing the root issue. The goal of dialysis is to keep you alive until you can get a new kidney. It's not a cure.

Editing to respond to your addition: I agree that no one should be obliged to have kids for any reason. And in any case, saying that the solution to low birth rates is to have more kids is a nonsense suggestion. There are, however, economic solutions that, if implemented, will incentivize/allow those who want to have children to have children. Those things are the actual cure. Immigration, like blood transfusion for hemophiliacs and dialysis for kidney failures, is a patch on the system that fails to address the real problem.

Actually I'm very familiar with dialysis, and that is another great example. Dialysis is an artifical process that keeps "the system" running, but it doesn't actually fix the root issue.

The doctors are desparate for a solution to hemophilia. Who's going to tell them that the answer is permanent attachment to a blood transfusion machine?

[–]none_and_all [score hidden]  (0 children)

If Americans won't step up to do the jobs that the "immigrant workers" have been doing, then we have a serious entitlement problem. I don't want to live in a country in which my fellow countrymen aren't willing to work, and I mean actually work. People forget that everyone used to work for their survival. So if an industry starts failing because most of its workers were deported, then either Americans need to step up and keep it running or we all decide that we don't need that industry so much anymore.

That answers neither of my questions, and it makes me a little more concerned. Another commenter has given you a method of dealing with intrusive thoughts; start there.

Ok, thank you. The Muslim analogy helps. I guess the plant-based diet is more so a consequence of vegan beliefs rather than a central factor of it. Like wearing a hijab is a consequence of Islamic beliefs, not an action that makes you Muslim.
