    No. I'm glad to be here. There is nowhere else I could be. Not to say I'm a happy chappy, but life is agreeable to say the least.

    I have amazing parents who deserved a child that would have treated them like the amazing people they are. But instead they got me. While I was kissing the ass of people who didn't give a shit about me, I would take my frustration and anger out on my parents. Here lately I have wished that God would just remove me from this planet and from my parents' memory as if I never existed. I'm not saying this out of self-pity, but out of self-awareness. I'm not going to kill myself and I want to make that clear to anyone who reads this because I would never advocate suicide. I'm just writing what's true as far as my rotten ass is concerned. The guilt I have in treating the two most incredible people in the world the way I have is a heavy burden, but one I refuse to put down because I deserve to carry it.

    I was the bastard child of an ignorant teenager whose boyfriend wanted her to have me aborted. Unfortunately, that selfish cunt had me and gave me up for adoption. I want to kill that bitch for not aborting me.

    Life is too fascinating for me to even want to deny it, though that's a fairly recent development in my life. There's nothing ultimately negative about unhappiness.

    I would have preferred to be born in the mid fifties, so I could have been a teen during the late sixties and early seventies... When music wasn't a total pile of shit.

    I was born in 88, I'm 23 years old.

    God sent me here for a reason as he has all of us. I do not know whether we have a choice to be born or not but I would rather Gods will to be done rather than my own for he knows better for me. Life on this earth was meant to develop my soul so I may come back to the Father and further glorify him.

    I would be born again given the chance.

    I would have to say no I would not choose to be born. That was my first reaction when I saw the question and after thinking about it, that's the right choice.

    There are a lot of days where all i want to do is crawl off into a hole somewhere and die because i am so disappointed and disgusted in myself for many reasons. Other days i am rather relaxed and just enjoy hanging out with my two sons. They are the only things that keep me here in life.

    I voted life is great, but I feel like that's not really why I'd choose to live... I'd choose to live not because life is "great," but because life is often beautiful.

    And, frankly, why not?

    No, life is great. Would have been greater if I could have lived my childhood, and not waiting until I'm 25 or 30 to get surgeries.

    If given the choice, the next I go to the Amusement park of life I will pass on the Human-Experience ride.

    There have been times when I haven't enjoyed my life, including now, I think that I've caused more benefit than harm in my life, and in that knowledge I can be happy with existence and not afraid to die.

    This is interesting. If I was never born then I don't think I would think anything of it.

    to be honest, relativily would come into play here because i havent experienced what it is to NOT be living or born yet. im sure u didnt want such a "in depth" answer but i cant say which i prefer because i havent experience both and therefore cannot form an opinion.

    Life is life. It's you who makes your life the way it is. Yes, there can be some bumps a long the paths you choose, but its you who chooses whether to keep them there and look back on them, like people who've hurt you and so on...

    Just don't dwell on the past, instead make the horrible memories; memories to remember the good memories. Thats how I choose to see my bad memories. I basically make them into good memories, helps you be who you are today. :)

    I'm truely happy to have been born and a live today, even though life can bring you down... Just keep your head up and do whatever makes you happy.

    I'd rather be alive than the alternative.

    I think the better question would be would you have rather been born at the real time of your birth, or some other time.

    Because I've met some older people (70s, 80s, 90s) who have said that they count their blessings that they grew up during the time era they did, and they wouldn't have had it any other way. Then you have people who wish to have been born either earlier or later. I guess once people see how the world is ending up, they come to the conclusion that they wish they were either born earlier, or not at all.

  • As opposed to what? I mean if we weren't born what would we be or do?..and how would we know if we like it better? If we're not born, we can't see, we can't think, we can't do anything.. I'd rather be alive. Lol.

      I don't really think that has much to do with what the poll is asking, but what system do you have?

    There was a long period in my life where I would have said no, but I haven't felt that way in a very long time. I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. :)
