[quote=victor809]Piss poor argument (allusion intentional). By your argument, everyone born has a responsibility to birth more people, simply by the fact that they were shot out a vag. I would argue that given that the largest factor in any of the planet's environmental issues is simply the number of people alive, it's a greater ethical decision to not selfishly add to the current bioload, simply because of some infantile assumption that your personal genetic line is in any way special or helpful to the human race.
If you're trying to convince morons to breed, talk to someone else.
If you're trying to convince me to care about some moron's children, go somewhere else.
If you want to have an actual discussion, then try re-assessing the stand you're making

It seems that I have been too - indirect.
[quote=victor809]** Standard disclaimer, I don't care about global warming, don't care about the life-span of our planet past the next 50 years (my expected lifespan) I just get irritated when people give stupid answers to things. Just say you don't care... I'm fine with that.[/quote]
Victor, I take issue with your statement and attitude toward mankind. Children were meant to be a shining example. I see that it was lost on you.
You may not feel an obligation to the race that brought you into being.
You may feel no sense of ‘pay it forward’ to the planet that provides you your next breath.
You may in fact have no love for the circle of life that you are a part of.
But you cannot clam that these are honorable values – they are not.
And your pride in your disregard of the future for the rest of us speaks poorly of your character.
Honestly, you are putting yourself in a rather bad light.
Good luck with your hakuna matata.
