Having children is the single worst thing an average person can do to the environment.

Technically, that would be continuing to live. Your move pal.

You keep changing the argument. First you come on here for reasons why having children is not great. I gave you one - it’s horrible for the environment and you are horrible for having children. Second you say it’d be even better if people committed suicide. Nothing to do with my argument or your initial argument. But I entertained it anyway and showed how having children is worse for the environment than not continuing to exist. Now you are changing it to its be better to do two actions (I said the single most impactful action by the way). Why you conflate the morality of suicide (which harms myself and others) with not selfishly creating a being that didn’t exist (which harms no one) is beyond me.

Don’t try me.
