> It’s selfish of them to be resentful.

Isn't it more selfish to expect preferential treatment, privileges and time off just for having kids?

> Kids are the ones who will be working when these people retire (whether by then they have children of not).

Yes and won't the retired child-free people be paying for the work these kids provide? Or are you saying these kids should work for free to provide for the retired child-free people?

> Society depends on new generations and so I don’t see a problem if parents get a small advantage.

Well then you are free to give most of your paycheck to them. But why insist or force others to sacrifice?

I am not fat, so fuck anyone that needs health help or insulin for diabetes.

I don't smoke, so fuck anyone that needs lung cancer treatment.

I don't drink so fuck anyone that comes to ER with alcohol poisoning.

I work out, so fuck anyone with back/wrist/whatever problem from being sedentary.

I have friends and go out, so fuck anyone with depression/anxiety.

I have a car, so fuck anyone that takes a bus/metro.

I have two working legs, so fuck any ramp for wheelchair users.

I have enough money so fuck all the old people (and younger ones getting there) on social security.

Fuck, I am strong and crazy enough, so fuck anyone that thinks they should be able to walk at night and not be beaten up/robbed. Fuck them right? How much do you even lift bro?

Being selfish is the number one problem in the world today, the lack of empathy, understanding of others situations, is bringing this world to a dark dark place, and unless we (or most of HN readers) understand that and be in a privilege position to try and change that, we will see everyone going even more into a dark path,

I don't have kids. Get rid of the schools.

I don't have a car. Get rid of the roads.

I'm not old. Get rid of social security.

I live in a neighborhood with a security force. Get rid of the police department.

> I don't have a car. Get rid of the roads.

So you don't have a car. Should you pay for other people's car maintenance? Should you pay for other people's gasoline and the gas tax? You do know that the gas tax pays for the roads right? If you don't have a car or drive, you don't pay to build or maintain the roads. Car owners pay for it via the gas tax.

I don't have a kid, but I have to pay for your kid? Is that the logic? How about people pay for their own kids, cars, homes, etc? Fair?

> I'm not old. Get rid of social security.

People pay for their own social security. You don't pay for my social security, I don't pay for yours.

Pretty sure no one pays for their own social security at this point.
