Hostile architecture like those benches you can't sleep on and skate stoppers make me feel sick

i cannot think or comprehend of a more selfish, more ignorant, more cowardly action than having children. Taking a gamble and putting all of the risk on someone else life without their consent has to be one of the most morally bankrupt things you can do.

You're a bad parent. who pays the cost? the kid
You die and your kid ends up in a orphanage. who pays the cost? the kid.
Your kid gets cancer and has a horrible death. who pays the cost? the kid.
Your kid has an accident and dies painfully. who pays the cost? the kid

Every parent wants the best for their kid but intention alone is worthless. So why would you take upon the ultimate responsibility, when you are fully aware that you are a flawed, mortal being, who stands no chance of actually protecting your kid?

This illogicality best shows when inevitable another kids dies and sad facebook and instagram posts ensure, where people feel sorry for the parents. The very same parents who knowingly brought this life into existence, fully aware they can't protect it. The unavoidable happened and now an innocent life paid the toll for their parents ignorance. And now you are supposed to feel empathy for the parents. What a farce.

If "playing God" ever was a valid argument for refraining of doing something, the first thing it would apply to would be procreation. You cannot get more narcissistic than believing you are fit to be a parent.
