There would be no necessity to save poor African children, if they were never born.
I'm happy for you that you still made it.
> So after calming down all I can think of saying to you is `Screw you`.
If I were you, I would rather consider being angry about the parents for their decision than about a HNler who speaks out an inconvenient truth.
If you feel offended by the statement that you perhaps read between the lines that I wish you never existed? I believe this wish is the best that you can wish to another person - and I openly admit that I often wished this for myself. So you rather should feel deeply honored by that wish, if you read this between the lines.
Believe me: I do have pity for the poor African kids - and this is why am very vocal about preventing this from happening.
Please do not post to HN like this. Comments here need to be both civil and substantive, and yours was neither.
People will take your message the wrong way but ultimately, for the vast majority of people, life is a struggle with only brief moments of happiness, if any at all.
Forcing onto others to live a life where you ultimately die is not a gift, but an act of vain cruelty born out of selfishness.
Especially if you cannot provide a good standard of living for your children. You are knowingly condemning them to a life of misery where at best they'll claw their way out of it through blood, sweat and tears or at worst they'll make the decision to take their own life.
