    If you really didn't want to be born I agree with bb and the others in this thread.

You can't be serious that you would honestly tell to someone who feels disillusioned with the system to go and die. To have 3 people in this thread suggesting this it's not just further depressing it's down right outrageous. Perhaps, just perhaps these people are a symptom that something is radically wrong with the direction we're going and that we should stop for a while and give it a thought.

    It doesn't bother me that I am "forced to pay for" the world I "didn't ask to be born into."

It's great to hear that your life is heading in a direction that makes you happy. The point of this thread is to address those who sadly for some reason just don't share your view, that all is great and fair. Do you have any constructive advice to offer to those, other than just telling them to go kill themselves?

    If your problem is just society, there are also solutions for that.

Care to share those solutions?

    They may not be comfortable but that is what you get in return for deciding to eschew the structures that are established in part to provide us comfort, at the cost of demanding some conformity - more depending on where you live.

It's disappointing that you can't conceive of an improved order that would cater for everyone's needs instead demanding conformity as a need. Keep thinking like that and you would make a great dictator.

You clearly aren't interested in actually listening to dissenting points. You're flying off the handle - "great dictator" really? I think is have to express some desire to rule for that to qualify - and no. I don't have to agree to post. I can post my opinion which is what you're going to get when you ask hubski something.

My constructive criticism is that you should try appreciating the gift of life instead of resenting it. In other words grow up and get over yourself.

It's funny for all your dislike of the system I don't see you considering how to change it once in this thread.

I'm sorry but to even suggest, to someone who's depressed or disillusioned, to commit suicide is insensitive, disturbing, very upsetting and not helpful. I hope that you never have to deal with any close ones in that situation... for their own sake.

If I knew how, there would be no need for this thread in the first place.

I suggest you buy into the system until you can afford to buy out of the system.

I also suggest you go to therapy.

I've been suicidal before so you can get off your martyred high horse.
