If I hadn't been born, I wouldn't be typing this now.
I have, on occasion, wished that I was adopted and thus didn't share genes with my parentsIt's perfectly possible, often totally reasonable, to wish you had different parents.
But if you had different parents, you wouldn't have the same DNA
So you would be essentially a different person. The person that you actually are would not exist.
Well, sincerity can vary, always. But it's verging on bad form to say so. You are basically accusing some of your fellow posters of dishonest argument, with no more than general suspicion as evidence.This is an internet thread - there is no reason to believe everything people here say than to believe anything the Prime Minister says.
I will simply note that the policy examples are all forward-looking wishes, and thus nastier than a regretful look backward.# Stop Funding Hate.
Here's the twitter policy. My guess is that after a few more politicians are murdered, they'll be included as a protected group.
Wishing, hoping or calling for serious harm on a person or group of people
We prohibit content that wishes, hopes, promotes, or expresses a desire for death, serious and lasting bodily harm, or serious disease against an entire protected category and/or individuals who may be members of that category. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Hoping that someone dies as a result of a serious disease, e.g., “I hope you get cancer and die.”
- Wishing for someone to fall victim to a serious accident, e.g., “I wish that you would get run over by a car next time you run your mouth.”
- Saying that a group of individuals deserve serious physical injury, e.g., “If this group of protesters don’t shut up, they deserve to be shot.”

Mostly just a lighthearted remark that I don't want to turn into either of them as I get older.Is that purely because your parents believe in self-determination and you don't, or is there other stuff...
No, the Great Creator installs your soul within the product of conception and even if there’s a spontaneous abortion, you’re reinstalled into a subsequent one.It's perfectly possible, often totally reasonable, to wish you had different parents.

I don’t wish Trump dead. I just wish he had never been spawned.
bot - farage headlining the bbc all day today. and of course blojo. no real mention of corbyn either. pretty skewed i'd say. or is it me that's biased?
I saw an interview with Farage I think on BBC maybe Sky. Pathetic, like a child writing his Xmas wish list. He just wants a Brexit for Xmas. No policy just Brexit. A decent reporter could tear him to shreds. He is just allowed to spew out stupidity and the reporter stands gapping in awe at such idiocy.bot - farage headlining the bbc all day today. and of course blojo. no real mention of corbyn either. pretty skewed i'd say. or is it me that's biased?

Brexit is like a small Xmas surprise. It comes in a box you just open the box and there it is all done. No assembly required.
I don't think it is because they support him. He is just obnoxious and a bully , I think modern reporters today are just afraid to challenge these characters. It is easier to just let them waffle on rather then take them on. It is so blindingly obvious he brings nothing to the table but empty rhetoric. Can they not find a Greta Thurnberg to let loose on him?he's getting platformed by a willing bbc it would seem. completely unchallenged. and this despite it so obviously being the case that he is not standing for election because he knows he's unelectable. in fact his failure rate in elections appears to closely match blojo's failure rate in the commons. what a lovely symmetry for two narcissistic and toxic individuals.
