http://www.monstersandcritics.com/s...ble-childbirth-be-rewarded-continuously-on-TV I'm in agreement with the general premise of this article. At some point isn't a family putting some extra strain on services, e.g. they only pay one property/income tax but send 18 children to school. The mother is 42 and still shooting out kids. The oldest son is 21 and starting his brood now...ack.
So the plan is to limit family size, due to a disproportionate strain put on government-supplied services with only one property/income tax? Is that how we want America to be? I agree that it's dumb television, and I don't watch their show, but they've been having the "Real World" on MTV since 1994 or so, and there couldn't be a thing less real about that show. "Survivor" is quality TV? The Bachelor for plus sizes?
[video=youtube;jKwdtNdWDb0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKwdtNdWDb0[/video] That's just too many damn kids. At some point it does need to be illegal.
It's none of my business how many kids they have. It's not like they're making them wards of the state, they're raising them. They're making it work, rather than through public assistance, through the television show and their own frugality. It doesn't appear as if she's on massive fertility drugs. Compare that to that crazy woman that had eight kids at once. Are people bothered just because they're Christian?
Why? What right do you have to tell others how they should live? If they're not breaking the law or hurting others, why do you even care?
What right do they have to overpopulate the planet? What possible reason is there to have 19 fucking kids??? We are going to end up like China and when that happens, then yes, they are hurting others. I think they could live perfectly normal lives with 5-6 children. Give me a break.
I think I would go nuts if I had more than two kids (when I have kids). I'm gettin too old for this shit!
Yep, there is no legal right OR restriction in regards to children. It is most definitely NOT a right to have that many kids. I could care less if they are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Atheist or Pastafarians who worship the Flying Spaghetti monster. My old standby is the 80's sitcom standard. That is to say "Eight is enough" or loosely paraphrased, "that's way to many fucking people using way to many fucking resources so just stop fucking if you can't use birth control or at least TRY and pull out for fucks sake"!
Well, they're Americans. They have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Perhaps it makes them happy to have a large family. Why do you assume everyone should think just like you? I'll tell you what: since you're so worried about overpopulation, why don't you get snipped so you don't have any kids? Then tell all your friends to do the same.
I think it is a little (or perhaps a lot) unfair to the kids that their parents attention is divided 18, 19 times. If you've ever seen the show the boys and girls are largely segregated and the older children spend a great portion of their time attending to the younger ones. It's like the fucking 1800s down there.
