Let's keep the language chill if you don't mind.

Yes, assuming such a thing as debt exists. In a different and better world where life is inherently positive, there might not be a debt.

If you don't like how I talk, I guess we're done here, because I don't accept your terms. Be reassured at least there was no mal-intent.

Like, fuck.

Basically, I'm saying yes, one owes a debt to their children. I just don't know how to prove that the concept of "debt" exists at all morally. But assuming it does and it behaves like I think it should, then yes.
