    they disgust me.... and I am from The Natural State............ we aren't all like that.. trust me
    Why do they "disgust" you?
    Seems a bit harsh.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    Oh I know..........I just still find it funny.........people who are the living example of stereotypes are funny to me
  • Im not disgusted by them...I think it's kind of weird but hey whatever..people can do what they want. I mean, if you wanna be like bunnies and fuck as much as possible before you die, and have THAT many children....it's america...why not?

    but do they need to use paper plates?
    and more importantly, do they need to have such bad haircuts?

    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

    In defense of the Duggar family, they are not on welfare, and they can afford every single child they have. How? I have no idea, but he does. Did you look at pictures of their house? He is not receiving any government checks. As long has he pays the way and not the government, if they want 18 kids, that is fine.

    Further, as good parents (yes, they seem to be good parents....they are teaching their children, provide for them, spend time with them, etc.) they have a right to teach their kids what they want.

    While certainly unusual and strange, I don't see why people bash this family for doing what they are doing. There are many families much stranger than them. I'd rather them have all their kids and teach their religious beliefs while loving their children than a drug addict have a single child and neglect the child.

    On a funny note, if you scroll through the pictures, I think the one that has the caption, "Michelle admiring Jim Bob for being the spiritual leader of their home." is quite funny. It does disturb me that they are promoting that image that most Arkansans are backwards, women are barefoot and pregnant all the time, and are hyper religious. But like I said, they seem to be much better parents than many people I see.

    Seriously...as I said before...Arkansas gets a bad rap. They really aren't so bad...and it truly is beautiful state! I wouldn't mind living there.

    That pic is funny...but also very sweet. She obviously truly loves her hubby...she was probably thinking about making baby #19 when that was taken. LOL!

    My only bone with these people (only bone) is that all their kids names start with the same letter. That bugs me. They'll probably name the 18th "January."
    ....
    Perhaps if Jim Bob had said to Michelle 16 children ago that this was her "only bone"...:D



    As for the names thing...yeah, I mean one of them is named Jinger for cryin' out loud...cut the girl some slack and change it to Susan or Mary.

    If they did that then the poor kid would be an outcast in their "society".

    Yep, that's always been one of those things that irritates me. My 1st daughter's name starts with the same letter as mine and when I had my 2nd daughter the name I really wanted had the same letter, but I refused to be one of those people, so I gave her an H name.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.
