Just think, if it weren't for the media shoving it in our face, we wouldn't even know about it.
true enough...and they're right there with the reality show....
We know about it because they want us to know about it. There is an audience for them....it sells. When it stops selling, we'll stop knowing.
It will continue to boggle, however, how anybody can criticize how many children a family wants to have. Perhaps China would be a better choice?
:noway:
FYI, China has a one-child only per family policy in their country to curb their population explosion. I'm not saying it is the right policy or the wrong policy. I'm just telling you what China has.
And some of you mentioned having 9, or more children. The Duggars are Quiverfuls. Are any of you Quiverfuls? They're doing this as part of their religious practice. That's the difference. They're having this many children because of their religion and what they believe in.
What is your point, if I may ask?0 -
Michelle/Jim Bob are doing this because they are Quiverfuls and it's deemed ok because they are.
My point is what if all the people on this planet were Quiverfuls and did exactly what they did. Would it be deemed ok then???!!!

I disagree with China's one-child policy. I do not believe in saving the environment by sacrificing people. But that's just me. Maybe I am overly fond of babies.
I don't know anything about the Quiverful religion. But, (and I'm guessing here, cause I have no idea what the Duggers believe) if it means something about keeping your Quiver full of arrows, then I think it's a better investment plan than counting on Social Security to keep you in your old age!
In our family, my husband and I have a freindly argument about how to prepare for our golden years. He thinks we are fine to trust in his work pension and social security. I am much more skeptical that those things will actually be there in 30-40 years. My grandmother was telling me about how her investments in the stock market had taken big losses this past year. I told her that she didn't need to worry about those investments because she had made a more important investment about 30 years ago when she gave up her time to help my dad raise me...
Makes me think I should get busy having more kids... But I've finally lost all the baby weight!! Augh, what to do!0 -

Think about it.
What if all the people on the planet were suicide bombers??
The Duggars are one family and if they can afford 19 or 49 children it doesn't affect my life one way or the other.0 -

Think about this:
What if it is a Duggar who finds the cure for cancer? Or the 18th kid saves the lives of a family in a burning building? Will it be ok then??0 -
Personally, I don't mind.
I think the kids are extremely nice, respectful, and caring.
For the older girls, having to take care of 10+ siblings is going to teach them responsibility in ways that no other kid will be able to.
I do think people are allowed to have opinions, that's why I'm not going to flame anybody else's (or try not to, at least, LOL) and that's why I'm posting mine.
As for the China thing, I think we should drop it.
Most of us are from America, or the UK.
Most importantly, the family currently being discussed is from the US. It's a bit pointless to bring up other countries' policies.

The point is that it will affect FUTURE lives and generations who will live on an over-populated poisoned planet without clean food.0 -
It's debateable whether future generations will have an "over-populated poisoned planet without clean food." I personally do not believe that the Duggers are contributing to what you fear.0

What do you use as kitty litter?
Do you use plastic bags for trash?
Drive a car?
Do you grow food in your space?
We all use the resources. Why should we have a say in how anyone lives their lives, when we ourselves live and breath and pull from the resources of the earth?
I am thankful my mom did not feel this way............and I believe ppl like the Duggars GIVE much more than they take.
Peace, Love and Happiness :drinker:0 -

When I was five I heard the same arguments..........and that we would be in flying cars by now.

Ya, I remember coming home from 3rd grade TERRIFIED because I was sure that the sun was going to have exploded by 2010 .... Well, I guess that is STILL possible. :shrug: But I dont' worry about that "future generations may have to live with temperatures 1 degree higher than ours!! oh nooooo!" crap0 -
Ok, I've got to quit being onery. I'm going to get myself in trouble.:ohwell:
Well, I'm just glad we don't have the 1 child per family rule because I wouldn't be here and neither would my three sisters, my younger brother, my son and 4 of my grandchildren among other extended family members. :frown:0 -

I can make the sound of a Jetson car-- :laugh:
So talented-- don't be hatin'.
This topic is ridiculous-- for anyone to support a government dictating how many children their citizens have is truly the pinnacle of lunacy.
