You think "fairness" should be such an important factor in gaging whether life is worth living? I don't.

Yeah, I’m not buying the teen emo crap. I’ve heard this Bright Eyes song before.

You even said yourself, that I am "unlovable", well that's pretty much true. There's no room for love in my reality. It's all anger, boredom, hatred, and misery. I'm not even sure I've ever felt what people call "happy" at any point in my life. And to top it all off, I'm not allowed to do anything fun anymore. I can't drink, I can't smoke weed, I can't edge to porn for hours at a time, nothing. It's like God wants me to be bored and miserable.
That post has more garbage than a Coldplay album.

Yeah, I’m not buying this teen emo crap. It’s so bad it’s cliche. But I'm not wrong.

You’re not just wrong with respect to unfairness selling an anti natalist position, some people having better or worse lives than others isn’t even unfairness.
As far as rolling the dice, I think we can agree that any parent who leaves the well-being of their real or hypothetical children to chance is in some sort of ethical breach- but that wouldn’t apply to the vast majority of parents who have no intention of doing any such thing.
Still, we can’t account for everything. My daughter had some trouble on the way in. Her right arm was nonfunctional due to nerve damage. We nearly drove ourselves to bankruptcy and divorce helping her overcome that. We spent precisely zero time spinning some wheel hoping for the best.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If you really thought I was a troll and nothing more, I doubt you would be posting troll face pictures.

You misunderstand how we use and abuse trolls for fun around here.

Then I guess you don’t know me very well because I do, and I just did.
