Not flying mike
The starving child, for example, is a victim of his parents. In those poor countries, no one forces them to have sex and therefore have kids.
They have 1. The knowledge about suffering. 2. Omnipotence, in regards to having children.
Yet what do they do? They do it anyway.
Come on Mike. Is that way oversimplified?

Re: Not flying mike
It's facts Jar. They know what life is like there, they have the full power to not have children.
Are those two assertions false?
They are incomplete, the very kind of logical error you jump all over folk for.
Are there cases where life for a family is better with kids than without?
Are all births intentional?
Does everyone actually know what causes births?
In a system where there is no care for the elderly other than family, is there an incentive to create family?
Is there the possibility that the future may be better than the past?
Is it unreasonable to hope for improvement?
