This attitude made sense when infant mortality was high, society was largely agrarian, and the planet didn't have 6 billion people. And I don't want to hear the sad old refrain about how everyone in the world or the US or whatever could fit in Texas. Overcrowded rats will eat each other alive, and that's damn near what happened when only 150,000 people came here en masse after Katrina.

As long as none my tax money is going to them I don't care how many puppies she wants to squeeze out.

Yeah well in God's plan half of them would have died before the age of 8. So I guess they should randomly pick half their kids and take them out and drown them to insure God's orginal intent is met.

I cried and nearly peed myself laughing at that. Lawd.

Sooner or later, IDE, unless all of the younguns are homeschooled/in private school and sterile. Then again, they could all decide to be childfree. That would be a hoot.

Hurry up - they're working on #17.

Too late

That chick is going to die an untimely death when all of her internal organs collapse. My grandmother lived to a ripe old age before it happened to her but she only had 5 children.

"that attitude" Bernie... never made sense.

There is no God and there never was.

Looked up some more info about this family, the Duggars. And the more I found out about them, the more it made sense in a way only a twisted fundie would understand.

First off, the woman wants MORE kids, which is frightening in itself.

Second, I'm reading their wiki page, and lo and behold:

Quote from: wikipedia

Duggar and his wife Michelle, who was named Young Mother of the Year in Arkansas in 2004, are conservative fundamentalist Christians who endorse the Quiverfull movement and the teachings of Bill Gothard.

Why am I not suprised. Only people who are conservative fundies would have this many children and consider them all blessings from God, as if HE made the choice for them to have so many kids. The Quiverfull movement:

Quote from: wikipedia

Its distinguishing viewpoint is to eagerly receive children as blessings from God, eschewing all forms of contraception, including natural family planning and sterilization.

I hate fundies like this. God isn't a fucking contraceptive. I was also unsuprised to find out that Duggar was a politician for the Republican party, AKA the "Neocon Fundie Party", since all fundies unfortunatly automatically become Republican, as if Jesus was a Republican and you can't be a good Christian without being Republican. I miss the old days when the Republican party was more balanced and not so right wing.

Then I swing by their website. Apparently, they use the Bible as a manual for their life. I wonder if that includes the part where you can sell off your daughters to a man for a bride price. And there was an explanation to why they refuse to use birth control: They consider it a form of abortion.

I hate to see idiots of any kind breed at all, and these people have to breed 17 mini versions of their stupidity.

I started disliking them when I saw a documentary done around the time of #14, I think. The girls are being raised to be wives and mothers; the boys to be providers for same. Such is certainly a valid life choice, but the operative word CHOICE seems to be lacking in that household. Of course the neo-Nazis and their ilk think the Duggars are saints for creating so many white potential breeders.

Sure, it's a free country, and they have the right to pop out as many as they want, just as I have the right to regard people such as they with upmost contempt and another local couple now in their 70's with upmost respect and downright awe who have over the years adopted about a dozen children and provided a loving home for over ONE HUNDRED foster children. They can have my tax dollars all day long.

utmost contempt? Really? Just for having a bunch of kids? If it's how the kids are being raised you're probably gonna have a whole lot of contempt going for a lot of other families as well.

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #40 on:** Sep 24, 2007, 07:40:54 PM »

No, upmost contempt for not viewing their children as individuals with free will. I had the same opinion of an extremely wealthy client who wanted his son to follow in his business footsteps when the kid wanted to be a musician. He eventually drank himself to death at the ripe old age of 32.

IDE · « **Reply #41 on:** Sep 24, 2007, 09:31:54 PM »

I wouldn't be worried about those kids. They'll mount a rebellion and they've sure got their parents out numbered.

Then they'll kill and eat them.

Dad was a dick whenever he called up here. I can't imagine having to live with his expectations all my life. I probably would have run away or put arsenic in his coffee.

Stairs are nice. Did his home have any?

Oh, yeah. And about 6 bathrooms, all with slick tile floors.

Well it's official, my ACL in my knee is slightly torn and theres something weird with my knee cap.

Good bye normal knee...And it seems to me, It lived its life like a candle in the wind, never knowing what bone to cling to when the rain came in. I go around telling all the girls I'm just a kid. My ACL blew out long beforrrrreee my legend ever diiiiid

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #50 on:** Sep 28, 2007, 11:28:17 AM »

Ugh - I feel for ya. I've blown my right knee out 3 times - once more, and it's the little laser for me. The shitty thing now is that I don't even have to be doing anything fun for it to pop out of joint - first time I screwed it up I was playing basketball at 16, second time I was practicing Florentine fencing stage combat, and third time, I was rollerblading. Last time I popped it in & out of place, I think I was stretching my leg at work. $:-\$

The doctor doesn't think I should have surgery yet. He thinks it would just need a little tightening up, but since this has only been bothering me for a month he thinks it might just go away with therapy...But I think that's bullshit. I see him next week and I'm gonna tell him I might want to go to stunt school or something and see what he says then.

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #52 on:** Sep 29, 2007, 07:16:47 AM »

The earlier in life you have the surgery, the better. You can be in perfect shape in years to come, but time will still have marched on in your joints. Just a sad fact.
