pardon?

Oh sorry, I couldn't really help you so I came up with what I was thinking while watching the telly.
The advert for the starving african kids came on, and I thought, why are they having so many kids when the kid's life is practaclly gaurnteed to be a long hard tourment.

but what if there was a test your mum could have taken that would have shown your illness, would it have been resonable for her to abort you because of the illness?

My situation is entirely different to a starving african, not even close.

but your situation is irrelevant to the point, which is, kind of, I would think, is it OK to pre-judge the quality of life a human is likely to have based on certain assumptions, and as a result of that, decide they shouldn't exist?

the medical resources being used up by gonz could probably have saved 10's if not hundreds of african children and created a more equal world, probably

Sorry gonz. It's the pragmatic solution.

Well, personally, I don't see any point in having a life that is filled with nothing but an excrusiating pain.
Sure, there is always hope, there is a chance they could end up in not such a bad situation, but that happens to thousands out of millions.

I'd like to make some comparisons between the logic of your argument
and the ideas and practices of Hitler and Mao but given your heritage it would seem even more inappropriate than usual so I'll just say this: you are unequivocally wrong about this.

No, there are two very different things. I'm also not enforcing it or proposing to enforce it on anyone.
I'm purely thinking about the quality of life, or lack of it.

you leave me no choice but to explain this to you through the medium of Gandalf, gonzo, I'm sorry but there it is
"It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance."
"Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

I don't like LotR, to many forrest bits, don't like forrest bits. If it was based mostly in a city, in modern times, it would be much better... like that KiDULTHOOD film.

Which was the basic argument of both Mao.
If you genuinely want to improve the quality of life for people in developing countries then invest in the women: sex education, improvement of women's rights, and investment in women-led businesses are the three most important factors both in reducing poverty and also reducing population growth rates.

Or ... you know ... you can continue to be a revolting fascist.

because Christians go over there and tell them there's a big spirit in the sky who watches everything they do
and he hates it when they use all the rubber dick wrappers the Red Cross guys give away for free, and the reason they're so hungry and dirty and poor is because they have to suffer so that they get all the happiness in the next life, and if they use contraception then they will never experience heaven, and nor will their children.

To change this, all that is needed is for the head of the world's wealthiest organisation to say "condoms are ok" and millions of people will be ok to enjoy emotionally satisfying adult relationships without the risk of making another starving child, but he doesn't want to, because it's not "right".

why do poor people get addicted to expensive substance abuse when clearly from the outset they can not afford this habit and just a bit of hindsight will show it will make matters worse?

Probably for so many reasons, the substances can numb and take away bad thoughts and feelings caused by, in part, by their povity.
It's an instant gratification, and instant fix, which is why they want more of it. But eventually the substance, the fix, eventually it wares out until the next one.

I'm not saying 'poor people', plenty of poor people have good lives.
Poor is a reliative term. I'm talking about those who have no access to things needed (as deemed by biology) to live.

Because in their culture children are a blessing and having lots of them is the norm.

It's got fuck all to do with "their" culture.
The go forth and multiply creed is almost completely unique to the abrahamic faiths and the bizarre bronze-age sandfucker polytheist warmongers that dreamt it up. Most cultures on earth understand the concept of limiting children to a practical number, even if they didn't have the biological knowledge to adequately apply the idea.
