Those non-working "parasites" include most of the people how made the important scientific discoveries of the previous couple of centuries. You can't do that if you've all got the same job and live in a society that can't sustain progress of any kind.

The thing I don't get about these articles is their author's complaints. They're complaining people ... don't kill themselves. But obviously they themselves don't suicide either.
So as I see it, they may have 2 intentions : 1) actually suicide themselves. But then why are they writing articles and also, no suicide ... So while this is their declared intention, it can't be their real intention.
2) increase their own success and, therefore increase their own environmental impact, success (and therefore kids) and all they say is evil.
This would also make them lying hypocrites : they're not looking to improve the environment, they're looking to make it worse.
