3. LOL! I was thinking the same thing. Somebody needs to tie either one
of them down and snip something. They are addicted to breeding.

10. The 18 year old son when interviewed expressed his desire to marry and have kids ASAP.
Creepy penties. Can't wait to find out which one(s) turn into crazy hellraisers and break away from their homeschooled brethren....

21. They could be addicted to the media attention
From their web site it doesn't sound like the press has any qualms about giving them exposure every time they have a kid.

Seriously, if I were a producer or editor I'd be "been there, done that" if I had already given them air or ink in the past.

22. No, they're Pentecostals.
"Have as many children as possible because children are a blessing from God" or some such rot.

They also have "A woman's pride is her hair."

They follow the tenants of their loopy faith just like other fundies.

97. I'm not sure if your being sarcastic but i agree
It is not the fault of the children that they had the (IMHO) misfortune to be born into such an unusual and seemingly vitriol inducing family. All of the comments about the children's intelligence and hairstyles seems rather closed minded for a "liberal" site.

I see an unconventional family whose choices i would not make for myself. But i also see a number of smiling little human beings that look well fed and cared for. Little people who probably spend a great deal of time with a great deal of familial responsibility and very little individual parental attention.

6. I'm in favor of limiting child tax credits and exemptions
to five or six kids, grandfathered in. You can't limit the number of kids have, but I don't want the deficit increasing because people want to have 20 kids.

30. with 17 kids and 2 adults in this family
using the 2005 numbers they would have had over 60,000 in exemptions alone...then think of the other deductions they are probably taking...hell, having this many kids lets the gov't pay you a LOT of money!

39. Yeah, I suspect the actual child tax credits max out on them because
what they pay with their exemptions is likely to be very low, if anything.

I think they next to nothing in federal taxes, though.

What scares me about these people is that they'll raise them to be automatons and vote along the lines of Limbog, to undo Social Security, kill anyone who isn't like them, etc.

17 of them will undoubtedly have more sense...

49. Just think about all the family Xmas gatherings in 20 years time...
2 parents
17 children
289 grandchildren
83521 great grandchildren
At this point, I would rather pee on an electric fence than calculate where their goofy family is heading... and it's not a family, it's a giant petri dish!

In short, this family is so square they need to be uprooted before they multiply exponentially...

Pregnancy is fraught with complications, and people do still die in labor. With the abuse she's subjecting her body to, I think it's just a matter of time until she bleeds out and old Jim Bob finds himself a widower with 18 mouths to feed. Good luck on finding a stepmommy.

They build it themselves. You must have missed one of the myriad of tv shows about them. I'm pretty sure it's two prfab homes put together (or something like that). But, the good thing about homeschooling is that you can call child labor "education."

The Son of God actually said,
ADOPT your next kid! There are too many children in this world without parents who need loving homes.

Those people are sick. They're justifying it all in the name of God.

43. Two things, and I'll try to speak on a level that Rim Job and Baby Dispenser there can understand:
1) God did not stick His penis inside of you, Michelle. Your husband did. And I'm presuming God is a male, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera... God created Adam and Eve to procreate. He did not create Eve by herself so He could do all the work. As He created life, the universe, and everything, He opted to be nice and let Adam do it by proxy.

More importantly:

2) Which god is that? The one who eats the souls of little babies? That deity must be really obese...

God is about intelligent procreation. God created rabbits, guppies, and dust mites to indiscriminately breed. He also created worms and snails, knowing nobody would want to do it with them so they could do it to themselves...

Humankind is supposed to be better.

I hope you are well. But, if it's not your kid, your responsibility, why be so awfully crappy? It's disgusting and juvenile. I couldn't give a cr*p less if they have 20 children. It is their wallet, their lives. If they wish to raise kids into eternity, so be it.

They get tons of tax exemptions, probably don't pay taxes at all. We'll be on the hook for their future needs. They will contribute a great deal to CO2 emissions, landfills, resource consumption. Overpopulation is a threat to this planet now. Would love to emulate China's one child policy worldwide to get the human population down to a sustainable level, which it currently is not.

Get real. Worry about your own emissions rather than those of others. Would love for idiots to keep their opinions to themselves. It's, in a nutshell, a chance to poke fun of people you don't agree with. While I don't care for the Duggars personally, their decisions are theirs. Until you're perfect, realize that your attitude is slightly less than compassionate, nor would I even dare call it liberal... "my tax dollars?" "Mine?"
