Been a murder, over in Riften. Some old lady who runs an orphanage. Those poor children must be heartbroken.

By creating life, you are creating suffering.

incorrect

Unless you are able to stack the deck in your child's favor (ie you are rich)

not at all. your mind just percieves wealth as the only measurement of "good"

you are just creating a situation where another being has a high likelihood of experiencing much more pain than pleasure in life.

that's true for absolutely everyone regardless of wealth. have you noticed how wealthy kids complain about shit just as much as poor kids? cause everyone thinks their life is a tragedy. no matter how good or bad it really is.

That is a foolish proposition TC. What would happen if everyone did as you just thought? Then a lot of people would get the short end of the stick anyway.

You've been reading too much Schopenhauer. He is a brilliant man but even he has a few perverse views. His argument that pain is a positive and pleasure a negative effect is nothing more than a relative argument.

I think if you're a welfare bum pumping out kids, you should be sterilized. Some people are both irresponsible and stupid and need to be stopped.

It's unethical and selfish to be very rich as you're inherently taking money from people who, if they weren't scammed, would be able to afford to keep their child competitive.

Equal distribution of wealth is the most ethical system.

Up to a certain degree, I agree.

I think people should at least have a short term plan and a general vision for the future if they want a family.

No one will stay the way they are. That means, if you're financially challenged today, that may change in the future.

We all take risks in life; marriage, the choice of career etc. Having children is no different. Some call it taking a chance and others call it having faith; having faith that the future will be brighter for both parent and child.

That being said, realising and accepting that having children will drastically change one's financial, emotional and physical lifestyles is crucial.

People who are unable to provide for themselves would most likely be unable to provide for their future children. The end result is that the children will grow up with little or no education, hence no chance at employment and will not be able to contribute to society. I realise I'm stereotyping but it is what it is. It is also likely that these children may not live to adulthood.

It's quite a conundrum indeed.

But still, the only thing we can do is understand and accept that choosing to have children is a huge responsibility. We must put their interests first before our own. Failure to do so will be most unfair for the children.

Aim high, work for it, persevere and never give up.

Having kids should be plausible. XD

I wouldn't say being "very wealthy" is the end all factor, but there should be some sort of qualifier.

Like a test or something.
