yes. and any other answer is just blatantly incorrect by the most basic assumptions of what constitutes selfish.

"My opinion is truth. Any opposition is wrong because I say so."
Regardless of what is correct, people with opinions like yours come off as desperate. Most people will view you as a loser that can't find somebody to reproduce with and thus takes their hate out on others who can.
There is literally nothing wrong with having a child. There are many different reasons people have them.
No, it requires a lot of sacrifice, that's the major reason people don't want kids, because it requires them to put themselves second.

It makes the assumption that because you arent miserable that what you bring into the world won't be as well. Or that you have some power in making that the case. While I have come to a place where I'm no longer miserable 24/7, for so many that isn't the case or even a possibility. You're playing roulette that you won't birth /r9k/. Moreover, this is merely an argument on top of the fact that it is done for selfish reasons.

overpopulation is a myth. World will level out ~10 billion and then probably decrease.
Within our lifetime the declining world population is going to be a huge economic problem.
