S123 - You know I couldn' resist and it is all in jest anyway. You lobbed that softball right over the plate.

Bri - right on target!

Oh it's hip to be sexist again. As illustrated by Maher and even Stewart....Why are you guys any different. You want to be "hip" don't you?

I didn't mean to derail the thread with this discussion, but I am treating it like I treat the puppy. Say something right when it happens. Don't chastise later. If you are going to act like dogs, get treated like one.

There. Done. *sigh*

The attitudes are not limited to the internet, as I have to hear this kind of stuff out of people's mouths and I just get frustrated. If it's truly in jest it's funny. Unfortunately, lately, it has been neither. (funny or purely in jest)

Actually I'm beginning to think I'd rather have :gulp: her than Obama.
There - I said it. Now I'll go and deny it ever happened.

That's an older photo of that particular family (last name Dugger if you want to look them up); they currently have 18 children and a new television show on TLC.

I don't see Jesus H Christ in a handbag as one of the choices here.

I hear their social bookmarking website is quite successful as well.

Personally I feel that 18 kids is an extreme choice , what every happened to zero population growth, and would be insanely hard, also bad for one's health.

So more fuel

I gotta ask - what does this guy do to support that many people?
Are we all somehow paying for this insanity?
I think it is utterly irresponsible to have that many kids.
It is disrespectful to the earth.

According to Clodfobble, they have a TV show on TLC. So if you buy the advertised products, you are supporting them.

Edit: And if you clicked the link in Shawnee's post, you saw advertising that helps support them.

Clodfobble · 10-09-2008, 04:56 PM

Well, back before they had a series, and instead just a one-hour special about building their massive new home themselves out in the middle of nowhere (at which point they only had 17 or maybe even 16 kids)... they revealed that the guy was a real estate agent, and they lived in a very modest three-bedroom house, and their biggest expenditure was $500 a week on food. She makes a lot of their clothing. One problem with living in a house that small: not everyone got to take a shower every day, because there just wasn't time.

Please note that I'm really not obsessed with this family, I just remember useless crap I see on TV really well.

I dunno - they must be getting some assistance somewhere. If $500 is there biggest expenditure and they can feed 18 on it, then I am doing something seriously wrong.

We just added up and we spent $500 last month to feed 5, so we could feed 20 on their budget -probably more as we could buy in bigger bulk.

How do you all spend so much? it's not like we live on Ramen Noodles and candy. We do cook everything from scratch, though, and we only buy a few "organic" products. Our bill would be much reduced if we grew more of our own veg too.
