    Life has ups and downs I know, but at the end of the day I think it doesn't worth it to live...I'm not suicidal at all, I just think we humans, are too intelligent to live in this world( compared to animals who have no idea what's going on in this world). Because I think it's all pointless and it just sucks.

    Nope, as a human and a father, I don't think giving life is evil. In fact, on the contrary, the short time we get to experience existence is one of the greatest gifts. Life is short and it can be depressing, painful, and all too often brutal. But there is beauty, pleasures, triumphs, and joys to be had too. One of them is looking at the smiling faces of my wee ones. :)

    Nope.
    Giving life is one of the few great things left in this world.
    The idea we are over-populated has been around for a long time, yet here we are still growing and still thriving.
    The world population growth rate is actually starting to slow down, most developed countries have a negative birth rate.
    In places like Japan, there are not enough citizens having babies. In those places giving birth is a huge good deed.

    Get some help my friend. Go out with your friends and be with the people you love. Nothing's pointless out here the birth rate of world populations is going down as it is I can't contribute to that. Go and find your worth life is beautiful.

    There are days I feel like life is in the dumps but then again something wonderful....almost magical happens and am filled with awe and contentment and I know, it might be hard but it gets easier...'every cloud has a silver lining' ;). Take heart friend.

    I am a believer of the Bible and reproduction is emphasized in the first book, that humans should procreate to multilpy. So how can reproduction of humans be considered evil? Pardon me but I had heard that line from a follower of the Satanic religion with their verse that anything in this world is evil and that reproduction is evil in itself. Maybe a depressed person will have that point of view because normal people just love babies, adore children, admire the young who would replace us someday.

    Giving birth isn't evil. Life is so sweet . . . you've heard that cliché I'm sure. Since we all have some moments when we are happy, treasured moments which cancel out all the pain, all the misery, all the suffering, I must say that life is worth living. Without sadness we wouldn't treasure happiness would we? That's how complicated life is . . .

    Well, it's pretty simple: the more people there are on a planet, the more conflicts will arise. Excessive human reproduction can be evil for the planet itself, as it's harmed already in many irreparable ways. Think of how may people die of starvation already. Just think about it.

    Life is a gift. The problem is most humans feel empty about their lives and they are not really. You think having a wife and children will fulfill your purpose? You think having a white-collar job staring at computer screen and papers the whole day is living? Go out on vacation. Climb a mountain, swim in river, go deep sea hunting or bungee jumping. Heck! If you can afford it, go sky jumping on a parachute. Don't be close-minded but explore your sexual life to the fullest. Have a threesome with no regrets. I promise you if you do all kinds of crazy fun things, you will not regret much before you die.

    Woah, I didn't see that one coming. I wonder if the Mrs will be hip to it? I'm guessing no, but hey ... giggity-goo. ;)
