No I didn’t consent to being born and neither did my sons which is why I have a duty to look after nurture them through life
You also don’t consent to being killed in the womb but that opens up another can of worms

Surely this thread needs to be binned. I have never come across such a ridiculous notion in all my life.

Anti-natalism isn't anything new. It's been around since the origins of Buddhism.

I did not consent to be taken to the Boothen End age five.
Sixty odd years later I am still suffering.
I blame the parents.

I agree.
I didn’t ask for any of this shite.
I’d have been perfectly happy to have been wiped on the curtains or dribbled down a chin, instead of having to endure a life which involves a daily commute along Victoria Road.

No I didn't consent to being born, and knowing what I do now about my mental health and abusive childhood, I would not have chosen to be born if given the option.

I have waited a while since you posted it in the hope that somebody wiser than I would respond. I have no qualification or expertise to know how to respond but all I can say is , Smile and the World will smile back at you. The Sun will come back up tomorrow. Whilst you can not forget what may have happened in the past you can look foreward to and YOU can descide what can happen in the future. Sorry if that sounds a bit heavy, but your post was disturbing. If you have chosen to be a Stoke City supporter from over the pond you must have a sense of humour, so cheer up. 😁 |

This loser just wants his 15 minutes of fame and that's the end of the story.
Given the state of the world today it's disappointing but not surprising that he's been successful.
No-one will remember him.

Did you consent to being born? Why one man is suing his parents for giving birth to him. Raphael Samuel, a 27-year-old anti-natalist from Mumbai, believes it was wrong for his mother and father to create him without his consent. The not so extreme person would maybe think (at least from time to time): 'well, the material world of today, life on Earth, is such a bad place, so it would probably be best not to have children'. But Samuel here, he is extreme. That's another level. Everyone has their own belief. I think it's a reincarnation circle. And as long as an individual is born, we know that soul inside that body hasn't passed the exam yet. I don't think he'll win the case. First of all, they had no choice. Everything is complex and connected, it wasn't all decided by them. |

You can please some of the people some of the time but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
But some people think it is possible to please a non living form before it is born.
That my friends is beyond logic, but it is the year 2019 so anything is possible.
Just ask the lawyers, after all they need the money.

Surely we all sort of do though, as we all start out life as a sperm seed. The seed that you are decided to swim its best and fertilise that egg. If you hadn't wanted to be alive you could swim a bit slower and another sperm seed becomes 'you'.
It assumes when you are a sperm you have a decision making process, but the rest of the arguments are a bit ridiculous, so let's throw this one into the ring too.

If anybody posted that from without the City Limits they should be vilified and hounded out of the country, or even the nation. As I assume you are born and bred Stokie you can say what you wish. I assume you have the necessary qualifications, but question your parents lack of forethought in introducing a doubter to our community. As as I have often said in reply to opposition fans “ It may be a Shit Hole. But it is Our Shit Hole”. 🤪 All words said in gest. 🤭 |

Very similar beliefs to me, I just hope reincarnation is optional because there is no way I ever want to come back to this festering anus. |
