maybe the price is right should have ended something more along the lines of
help control the human population, have your crazies spayed or neutered...

I gotta agree with you to some extent...
"if you can't pay for your hospital bill and medical expenses, you should not have children..."

wow! With all the hate and venom going on in this thread, I would think that I was at the Christian Discussion Forum on the topic of gay adoption! :eek:

LOL! I never said I hated them!! I just have a problem with the fact that their kids don't get much one-on-one time with their parents. I think that's sad.

I wasn't talking about you, sorry if it came out that way.

Oh ok...and for the record, I actually agree with you. My cousin (who lives in Arkansas actually) has 3 kids with 3 different dads (none of whom stuck around)....and only in the past few years has had a job....hmm...wonder how she made her bills.

i remember reading abou this one family who was on wellfare and had like 8 kids with a 9th on the way...
i think its sort of child abuse if you keep having kids when you know you can't afford to feed them... call me crazy for saying that but i mean, if you don't believe in contraceptives for religious reasons then maybe you should abstain instead of having kids that you cant put proper clothes on their backs and food in their mouths

This I agree with wholeheartedly. The Duggar family, however does not have this problem.

religious reasons or not, don't have children if you can't feed them!
Why should I pay for you to have kids, when I'm saving $$ so that I can have one of my own???

Brain of J.Lo

I used to post on a forum for women who had babies due the same month/year that I did. One of the women on there was expecting her 4th child -- who was carefully planned -- and was currently on welfare. Her reason for choosing to have a child sooner rather than later was that she and her husband just didn't want her children to be too far apart. :mad: Personally, I found that appalling.

I don't know much about the Duggars, but I guess their situation is different. I personally wouldn't choose to have that many kids (for a LOT of reasons), but as long as they are paying their own way, I wouldn't put them down for doing it. I do wonder how they are able to have equally close and meaningfull relationships with each of their kids, though. It would be easy to get lost in the shuffle in a group that big.

It must be the mullets.

yah... maybe.
though i hang out with one australiAsian who likes mullets and it didnt seem to bother me that much... hiiiii Hinny! so it must be the fluffy bangs and denim dresses...

seriousliy though, i think one of the thigns that bugs me is the consumption.... like the amount of stuff they'd use and throw away... i'm not entirely sure the world needs an excess of humans, i guess is the way i see things.

cool. I'm flattered. I just call it how I see it and that's how I am in person, too. They say, "Mary just says the first thing that pops into her brain."
I always felt like it was more of a drawback.
