The couple with 18 children

[Tobuoi]

People are frakked up. I mean, seriously. "She and her husband, Jim Bob Duggar, said they'll keep having children as long as God wills it." Don't turn to your religion for justification of your mental instability. Yes, what a good idea...put as many stupid consumers into the world as possible. Because, you know, there aren't millions of orphans already...

Frakking idiots...

^

mental instability?
i dont think it's up to you how many kids they decide to have.
and it's not a crime either.

if they can provide for their kids
and give them a roof over their heads
then it's not really your place to call them mental instable.
they can have as many kids as they want.

better than abortions or orphans.

don't judge a family who are still together
for the fates of those that aren't.

What the hell? These people can have as many damn children as they want. It isn't wrong for them to have this many children and they are not f*cking mental either, they obviously wanted these kids and are taking care all of them despite the hassle.

I don't really find it shocking since they already have 17 kids.

Well my grandma and grandpa had 10 and my uncle now has 7. My uncle was thinking of going for a 8th only because if he has another kid he gets 12 weeks of paid vacation from his work. But todays day and age alot of kids isnt common but maybe 50 or so years ago it was common expectially in catholic or christian families to have alot of children.

[Tobuoi]

Lol, when did I claim that it was my choice how many children these people have? When did I say that it was against the law? Clearly, it isn't. And both of you missed my point, entirely. I find it very selfish for two people to just produce as many children as they want in this day and age when resources are scarce, the population is out of control, and there are roughly 50 million orphans in the world, if not more. Don't you agree? Or is adopting a child less moral than getting knocked up eighteen times? Oh, and I forgot that abortion is the most troubling issue of our time. Sorry. Perhaps it's not optimal, but there IS a reason for China enstating a one-child-only law.

And Blinkboy, assuming that your grandparents grew up around the time that Kennedy was made president, the population was only three billion, so it wasn't so much of a concern.

^ nobody said that it was your choice
just that you have no say in calling them "frakkin" idiots.


i on the other hand, think that it's very noble of them, to love their children
and still raise them all singlehandedly
instead of putting their kids up for adoption or abandoning them.

they are NOT aborting their children.
Neither are they abandoning them or putting them up for adoption.

every situation is uniquely different. if they are totally capable of having more kids, then by all means, it's their business

china's rule is unique to china because of their population boom and because of communism.
america on the other hand, isnt.

don't blame other peoples' irresponsibilities on this family who've done nothing but provided shelter, food and love for their children.

[Mastermind]

Well, that's a lot of money going down the drain. (clothes, food, and the numerous amounts of bills, oh and the outrageous gas nowadays.) I wonder how they'll make it out of this financial dilemma. I wonder if they sat down and thought this through Oh well, whatever makes them happy.

I only want one, two max.

Yes, you felt the need to inform me that it was quite the contrary, thank you:

Oh, and just on a side note, this thread was, in fact, posted so that we could have a say on what we thought of how many kids they decided to have.

Do you not understand that the world may not be totally capable of just pumping out more kids? A large portion of the world exists in poverty, making it completely and totally unfair that we can bring eighteen little consumers into the world when they're trying to keep theirs from starving to death. Not to mention the way that we exploit their poverty by allowing corporate giants to run sweatshops in these countries, while we continue to milk their profit and raise our children to do the same.

It used to be common to have at least 12 kids, hardly an age ago.

It enjoys me to see we've come so far that 18 children is not considered normal.

Let's just pray that the mother doesn't start eating one of them.

I never said it was a concern i just said it was common. Alot of people that had alot of kids tend to be alittle more religious than the average people.

Is it really selfish if they are able to support the children? Also i dont think it really matters cause for every couple that doesnt have a kid couples like these have lots of kids. The way your making it sound is that the world needs to take out the reproduction gene of most females. Get a sense. If a couple can support all the kids then it really doesnt matter. It may not help society but then again it could cause one of those kids could be a next major leader in our future.

actually the first post asks how many kids WE would have. not how many kids THEY should have.

do you understand that it really is none of your business how many kids they want to have?

the rest of the world has nothing to do with this family's JOY.
which you seem to be throwing daggers and shooting arrows at.


sure a large portion of the world lives in poverty,
but does that mean that if you DO have X amount of kids you shouldn't care for them?
that ISN'T what this family is doing.

that's the WHOLE POINT of what i'm saying.
is that they AREN'T not caring for their spawn.
in fact, they are PERFECTLY CAPABLE of providing them with food, clothes and shelter and shower them with love.

you're missing the point of MY opinion.
and going way off track as to bring things that are irrelevant to the HAPPINESS OF THIS FAMILY.

It's more wrong to bring ONE child into the world without being able to take care of it,
than to bring MANY and bring them up with all they need.

The attention of two parents being divided eighteen ways doesn't sound very promising.
