Would you trust Google for anything political?

You mean that's not what you previously misrepresented my position to be.

> I don't think this is relevant or a good counter argument,

I think it is. It's a pretty weak "argument" to begin with, more like just an assertion that it's wrong (because it's wrong).

> we could easily say that both scenarios are less than ideal? Being born into poverty at least means you might have options in life like, you might actually meet enough people to find someone who you actually want to procreate with? What's that going to look like being stuck in what is esentially a small shopping mall your whole life?

In terms of the number of people you would meet? Well it would look like almost everybody for the entire history of humanity.

> Imposing morals? Trolling?

I don't understand your question. Do you not believe that "they should have access to basic things such as to be able to experience the natural world" is imposing your own morals on the procreation of others?

> No but they should have access to basic things such as to be able to experience the natural world. It would be pretty fucking depressing if you were born into a shitty spaceship and told your job is to pro-create so the next generation can experience something fun?

That's your assertion. Billions of people have been porn into abject poverty and disease and without hope for better, have learned (and in many ways seen and experienced) much less than these space travelers would. Unless we're going the forced sterilization and eugenics kind of route, I'm not sure how it's consistent to impose your own morals and standards onto others' procreation.

Nobody born has signed up for anything.

That people don't have to be miserable with greed and envy of people who have more than they do? It's a very common and socially acceptable opinion actually.

It will be great to see the collapse of the EU as well, which seems to be further along than USA.

I'd love to help but I'm not sure what words you're struggling with. "Could", perhaps? Or is it just the hypothetical nature of the question and answer that is not talking about a specific person's complete life situation, but responding to someone moaning about how terrible life is because "the rich guys", that bypassed you?

You know it's time to take a break from the internet when you get so upset that you start with the keyboard tough guy shtick. Hope you feel better soon.
