trait "agreeableness" is higher in women.
this breaks down into politeness and compassion. we tend to think of these as positive personality attributes. but an excess of any "virtue' is a "vice". yes we should have compassion. for the newborn infant, for the person seriously sick in hospital and for the frail elderley, we should be VERY compassionate. but the tendency for the feminine left is to see all people as "helpless infants". this is, of course , the proponent of the nanny state. to see hordes of young men who have fled from a war zone (and left behind their women and children) as "helpless infants" is not fruitful. and to treat them as the "all smothering odeipal mother " is a reflection of a deep psychopathology. |

Wow, the misogyny on this site is strong. :o
She is actually from the Christian Democrats party (hardly a "left wing" organisation.) Has been Chancellor of Germany since 2005 so has had an exceptionally good run and has overseen the growth of Germany into an economic superpower. Also a compassionate leader unlike the "scum" we have down under. She will be sadly missed. :( |

As I said, many that exist feel having existence is the greatest possible gift. Sure if you never exist in the first place you can't lament non existing, sure. But once you exist it makes your point moot.
you personally may not have experienced any joy to make this self evident and may well be suffering so much that non existence may have been less cruel. Also religious folk have a whole other purpose for existing than secular folk. Non existence = 0 Maximum suffering < existence. < Maximum joy Make out of it what you can or will of the second equation. I have written you off as a troll but am only responding on the small chance you are legit in this case.

I enjoy my life very much. In fact, I'm experiencing great joy & happiness whilst I watch you try to squirm your way out of the predicament you've found yourself in. If women stop having children, the human race, as you correctly pointed out, will eventually become extinct. People currently living on the planet, however, will continue to live their lives as normal. They'll still experience joy & happiness, and they'll suffer no ill consequences. So, would the eventual extinction of the human race be a bad thing? If so, why - who would suffer - the people who weren't born? |

I'm not playing a game. I'm asking you a serious question. One that you're struggling to find an answer to. Not that I blame you - I can't come up with one either. |

I reckon the Human species will become extinct eventually anyway, joining thousands if not millions (could it be billions?) of other species that have become extinct.

You're probably right. And, I can't see how it will be a problem. Who's going to complain when we're gone? |

IMO if the human race was extinct there would prolly still be life elsewhere in the universe. It wouldnt matter though because nobody would be around to worry about it. We were a fluke anyway. The universe is mostly barren.

I'm not so sure about life being somewhere else in the universe, but as far as us becoming extinct - it's no big deal. We won't be missed. |

We have a slim chance of being able to send some form of life to distant inhabitable planets in the future, if religion takes over we will all be blown up or beheaded and then there will be no chance. Humanity needs to move forward with science being our new god. |

Came across this in today's paper "When I was a boy all I ever wanted was my own observatory, I knew even then that all the mysteries of life lay hidden in the stars. Having said that, stars aren't that important. Whereas street lamps-they're very important. Why? Because they're so rare! As far as we know, there are only a few million of them in the universe. And they were built by monkeys!" Terry Pratchett |
