I hate people who have children

I think people who have children are selfish humans who only think of themselves. They don't even consider the well being of their own children. We live in a world of misery, suffering, diseases, cancer, evil, and their child is subjected to everything when he/she comes into this world.
What a sane, sensitive, empathetic person would bring a soul into this hellhole?

I can't help but sometimes I see parents as monsters for subjecting their children into a dreadful existence like this. Why they don't respect their own children opinions? What if their children would prefer never to have been born? Why parents don't take the child interests into consideration when planning on having a child? That's why I see them as selfish because they only think of themselves.

Is it normal to think like this? Anybody else here feels the same?

  • I never plan on having kids and I can kind of understand the point you are making but I still think you are a pessimistic asshole who probably has a lot of freetime to be angry about things such as this.

    You're going to be the most fantastic old person ever! Sitting on the porch all day, brandishing your cane and yelling belligerently about how more babies need to be thrown down wells. Too bad there won't be any young people left in the world to answer your life alert when you fall down and can't get back up.

    • I somewhat agree with him I believe if you have all your shit together and know parenting inside and out then you could have children. I seen to many parents ruin and harm there children its sick.

  • Why don't parents take the interests of their children into mind before having them...gee. Maybe because they are not born yet. Not every parent gets a sad pessimistic half-retarded soul like you for a child

      I am talking about future interests and potential rights.

      A potential person is not nothing, it will come into existence.

      Not having a consent of the unborn is not freedom to do whatever you want.

    Nope, and it sounds like you are both depressed and psychotic. See a therapist. Whether the world is a horrible "hellhole" or not is largely based on each individual's perception.

    If anything, parents should be respected. It's not an easy job, but someone has to do it, and less and less people are willing to. I think that if you find yourself in a financially stable situation, you should try to be a parent.

      No. It's not depression,I am perfectly healthy. This is pessimism. Society tells us that if you think negative about life you are sick, so you have to face reality by always pretending to be happy.

      This world is indeed hell, people who think that this world is wonderland are just deluded, and are ignoring the whole dimension of reality.

      Parents dont deserve respect for commiting a crime. Having kids is an immoral act not something to be praised.

        "This world is indeed hell, people who think that this world is wonderland are just deluded, and are ignoring the whole dimension of reality."

        Prove it. Let's see your evidence beyond the assertion that, "We live in a world of misery, suffering, diseases, cancer, evil." That unqualified assertion is no more valid than me saying, "We live in a world of happiness." Both are perception-based large-scale generalizations that are utterly empty in content.

        You seem to be making the fallacy of assuming just because you're unhappy that your worldview is more accurate than everyone else's.

        I realize that this example isn't the best because it's just one person, but consider Stephen Hawkins, a man possessing both extreme intelligence and an unfortunate physical disposition. While it's unlikely that he's the happiest person in the world, in spite of his problems he enjoys life.

          I don't think the world is only misery and I dont deny happiness exists. But pain and suffering tend to be more intense and more long lasting than happiness. Suffering is more intense and more bad than happiness is good.

          Most people have to deal with large amounts of discomfort,anxiety,disease physical and emotional pain all over their lives. Most people hate their jobs and have to work their butts off 40 hours a week. We have in exchange for it all, some small and short lived pleasures that are nothing more than satisfaction of a state of discomfort.

          The issue is that people have strong optimistic biases that evolved to grant a survival advantage. They use to judge their lives better than it actually is. I believe pessimism is more reflective of the states of affairs.

            "Suffering is more intense and more bad than happiness is good.

            Most people have to deal with large amounts of discomfort,anxiety,disease physical and emotional pain all over their lives."

            Again, an opinion. Sure, the vast majority of people will have to deal with some level of discomfort over the course of their lives, and sure, ultimately we'll all die at some point, but that doesn't make life 100% wretched.

            "Most people hate their jobs and have to work their butts off 40 hours a week."

            Prove it. There are also people who love their jobs.

            "We have in exchange for it all, some small and short lived pleasures that are nothing more than satisfaction of a state of discomfort. "

            A bummer of an opinion. It depends on how you value the things you do.

            "The issue is that people have strong optimistic biases that evolved to grant a survival advantage. They use to judge their lives better than it actually is. I believe pessimism is more reflective of the states of affairs. "

            I can agree with the first sentence there. The second one is an opinionated assertion that assumes there is a "true value" of how good someone's life is. Everyone gets to decide that for themselves. Your last sentence begins with "I believe," meaning that you're expressing a perspective rather than saying anything objective.

            It seems like you're convincing yourself that your feeling about the world being bad are objective data, rather than just a worldview. Life can be a downer sometimes, even for optimists. However, an important question to ask yourself is if having a negative outlook on life will improve anything at all. I've thought about this, and I've found the answer to be no, most often. You are at least in partial control of your perceptions.

            "Society tells us that if you think negative about life you are sick, so you have to face reality by always pretending to be happy."

            I would say that if anything, society teaches us to be cynical because it allows us to be aloof and disinterested. But again, here both of us are making unqualified assertions.

              I don't want to go on with this optimism vs pessimism talk.

              My point is that when parents decide to have a child in a world that entails a serious possibility for suffering, they are risking to create someone whose life could be nothing but misery, and they are fully aware of this possibility. Parents impose their views that life is good and worth living on their children as they bring them into a world without their consent.

              That's what I happen to find immoral and that's why I hate parents, because they don't respect their own offspring's opinions and put their irrational desires above the well-being of their children.

    I for one agree. Why are people so bent on having "Mini Mes" when there's so many kids in need of parents? With all the garbage in the world, you'd think there be a law that mandates the consent of the unborn. It's not like this world is getting any better (It's really not, sadly and those who say it is are just wearing rose-tinted glasses).

        Finding a way to contact souls and asking those souls whether or not they want to be born. People could likely do this with ESPs, mediums, as well as other means of contacting spirits. Everyone supposedly has a soul, right (even before conception and birth)? So it's probably very feasible, actually.

    I really hate people who have huge families like 11 or 12 kids, when the planet is running out of resources because there`s too many people on it. These people are so selfish, they don`t think of future generations & what will happen to humanity when there`s not enough food or water to go round.

  • While I do not hate parents in general I do see your point. Having kids is part of life for some people, and without that we would die off, which is much debated whether that would be good or bad.

    People should have a license to have kids and bad parents and child abusers should be sterilized and I think we should have a reward for anyone who chooses to volunteerally sterilized.

    I do agree existence is more bad than good and that this existence seems to even be a punishment for something if there is a such thing as multiple lives.

    It's not healthy to dwell on these things though. We're here so make the best of it that you can.

    Only Asia and Africa have population problems from reproduction. You can check any fertility rate chart. Almost all population "growth" here is from the policy of turning every western country into a dumping ground for the excess reproductive levels of those countries, while self- hating, self - righteous fucks like you complain about the negligible bit of replacement our side of the world has left.
