What the hell is wrong with these people?
Ha! We posted at the same time! See my response!
Maybe someone should explain the cause of pregnancy to them.
How old is the mother? She has to be at least in her 40s, right? It's great that she can still have children, but why do it just because you can? Why don't they just adopt octomom's 14 kids? LOL!
Do you know how much all these children they're having is costing taxpayers?
It's irresponsible.
I feel sad for the children. The older ones are expected to help raise the younger ones, and not one of them is hearing the message "you don't HAVE to have children to be a worthy human being". With that many kids, it wouldn't be surprising if at least one were infertile. I mean, they're all "as many children as God gives us", which is great if they accept that God might decide to give no children to one of them, but still.
I don't know. I just feel sad for the children. They can't get much opportunity to discover the different ways of life and work out which is right for them, not with such an incredibly strong influence coming from the parents.
How many of them are gay I wonder.
Those people are just insane.
Taz those kitties are so adorable in your avi.
I swear, they're trying to start their own cult. That's the only logical explanation.
I know, right? They are just whacko's!
Having 19 children is insane.

They kind of are already culty. They're part of the Quiverfull movement and follow the teachings of some loon named Gothard.
There's no way anyone can tell me it's anything but a numbers game now.
The older ones are expected to help raise the younger ones...
I haven't watched their show in a while, but from what I remember when I did watch, isn't it actually only the older GIRL children who have to be the "buddies" and are assigned to dress and feed and whatnot the younger children? And not any of the older boy children?
I always thought the one named Jinger would escape.
Is it wrong that I hope its twins (at least)?
I mean really, come on.
Octomom is eating her heart out.

adamgreer, according to many sites, they are not and have never been on public assistance.
Never mind the taxpayers; the planet would rot under our feet if every family were as irresponsible. Earth cannot sustain this insane population growth for much longer, and the Duggars are DEFINITELY not helping. As a non-US tax payer, I'm FAR more worried about the ecological implications than the economical ones. :P

Not to speak for adamgreer, but I thought he meant the whole having 19 deductions, claiming their home is a church (churches are exempt from taxes), etc. cost to the taxpayers.
are they claiming their home is a church?
I'm incredibly creeped out, disturbed, etc, but I'm also...vaguely defensive of them.
"I swear, they're trying to start their own cult. That's the only logical explanation."
I always thought they were trying for a football team. They're almost halfway there.
They could still claim their home is a church and not have any kids.
I'm not sure what kind of public assistance they're on either.
I thought they weren't on any public assistance. They're also allegedly debt free, since they own several pieces of commercial property that they rent out.
