Wow- get lives for yourselves!haven’t you got anything better to do than moan about others peoples choices-you’d think this family were going out killing people instead of loving children.

Its so un-natural. Years ago large families were needed to help out on the farm. It was accepted. But these folks are strange. The way they dress-they kinda look like a little “cult”. Its hard enough to take care of several and devote time to them, I cant imagine life with this brood. Well one things for sure-they’re going to grow up well adjusted or crazy. We’ll have to wait and see….

And if this family weren’t Christian’s then no one say anything! They would say oh, thats great if they want that many kids good for them. But because there doing whats right in God’s eyes, its wrong in the worlds eyes.

“If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you”. John 15:19

I’m sooo excited for them! They are obeying God “Be fruitful and multiply”. God didn’t say ya’ll just have 1 kid and if you ever feel like another then its up to you. I don’t have any kids yet (I’m only 20) but I hope God blesses me with that many or how ever many He wants me to have. The only reason ya’ll are calling them crazy, is b/c ya’ll are jealous that they have that many kids and there all happy. I know they are for a fact b/c I know several people who know them. And probably b/c you don’t have a close relationship with the one and only Jesus Christ. And if you do then you know you should do what He says, not tell him what to do!

I didn’t nor read the whole post before i added mine, so i will add something to the post in regards of the comments added by a shield named navy 4 ….

I just happened to know the Duggars well,I know Jim and Mary the paternal Grand Fathers and know exactly how they build their house, and how they purchased their travel van, how they paid for their food and how they buy clothes…all FREE!!!!!!!

Yes his dad old Jim has a RS agency and yes he run for Office,but they are not well off, and they never where well off, they were middle if that,not piss poor not rich ,middle class.

I know who gives them help , and its not peanuts they get LOTS OF FREE money, food, clothes vacations, cars etc,now they will get a lot of money for their tv show, all for what?? because they are freaks????? .

yes let us celebrate the fact that :
“HE FINDS HIS WIFE ATTRACTIVE AND GET THE ***** PREGNANT EVERY TIME HE SCREWS HER”.???

I find my wife attractive after 23 years of marriage, and you don’t find me, or others that find their wives attractive , getting them prego every time they have sex….WTF?

yes they are debt free, thanx to his hard work…….

…………………….

screwing her every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i just happened to know them , i live a few minutes from them here in NWA …
The one thing that bothers some folk here , and me too,its the fact that they are aided by all kinds of help and Corps and Church and FS are paying for their support.
He has nothing better to do than screw the wife 24/7 (as he has ,from vehicles to a huge free house and tons of free food and clothes ) and get the Family bigger, the bigger ,the better the presents are.

Even the vacations are free,Disney last year sprung for a World Disney vacation all expenses paid, and all in style with limos and all.

All i say it`s that there are tons of people in here,AR that can use that help, but since they might be only 2-3 children to a single mom,screw them, let give it to the freaks so he can have more time to screw the wife and bless us all with more Duggars…..

Pol:

I spoke out against mean-spirited and prejudicial comments posted about the Duggar family. Not one of those posting KNOW the Duggars yet all felt qualified to judge them. Why do you suppose that happens?

It could be that people tend to think with their emotions instead of their brain. Trouble is, emotions change. They are meant to add a colorful dimension to your daily experiences, not handle critical thought processes.

When thinking with emotions like hatred and fear, prejudice will be the only result. By definition, prejudice can only harm. It cannot uplift. It cannot inspire. It cannot heal.

Now do you understand?

As for your £5, sorry! You’re wrong on all counts. That’s another consequence of prejudice.

Curious how many people are quick to express their opinions as to the meaning of right and wrong. Apparently their opinions are ‘right’ and the Duggars are ‘wrong.’

For the pathetically curious among you, Jim Duggar is a real estate agent and former state legislator. The family lives DEBT FREE as a result of careful planning and thoughtful management of their resources. They do not buy anything on credit.

The Duggars also planned and built their own home as a family.

For the pathetically shallow among you, Jim Duggar finds his wife attractive and desirable, even after 17 children, because (a) she is and (b) he understands the meaning of LOVE. Look it up. It is spelled l.o.v.e. not l.u.s.t. Lust will not last without being founded on love: think friendship that has caught fire. Obviously, it is not a state of being that you will ever experience, based on your current level of maturity — or rather, the lack thereof.

Yes, the children are home schooled. Guess what? They are not likely to join gangs, are not likely to come home with an STD and not likely to participate in the drug culture. Each of them has an outstanding GPA, and will likely be active, productive adults and genuine assets to their communities. Best of all, you will not hear a Duggar child or adult belittle another human being or way of life. Again, that is a state of being to which most of you can only aspire.

Get a life, people. The Duggars are not breathing your air, taking your jobs or affecting your life in any way, shape or form. They are an independent, self-supporting, intelligent and cohesive unit. You would do well to take notes.

If you still feel the need to kvetch, look up the statistics on tuberculosis as it relates to illegal immigration.

Largest family huh, i know a family who has 23 children, from one mother, one father.

I didn’t read anything about any of the kids in Juvvie nor did it mention any in drug rehab or in remand - I’d say leave them alone. They have to be doing something right.
IN countries like USA and Canada with rapidly aging populations someone needs to pick up the slack. Just a few generations ago nobody would have even commented on such a large family - it was the norm.

There are already more than enough people on earth, and thousands of teens who will age out of foster care having *never* found a stable family to be a part of. I am pro-choice, but just because I support the Duggars’ right to choice does not mean I think they are making the right one. I still wonder why people like this - who want lots and lots of babies - do not more often choose to adopt or provide long-term foster care, as well? A child who *already exists* needs to be loved as well, and especially as the Duggars proclaim their debt-free status very often… you would not think it would be a financial strain on them, as it might be on others.
On the topic of foster care, I would just like to point out that giving birth to 18 children does not make the Duggars “America’s largest family”. There are plenty of people in the United States who have adopted 20+ children out of foster care, or, if they are not the legal parents of that many children, still CARE for that number. (Do not know if there are any families that have adopted 20+ internationally, or closed adoption at the child’s birth.)

i can’t believe the five or so people on here *supporting* these people. are you serious? these kids are homeschooled. think about it. there are, let’s say, 15 children of age to go to school. do any of these “i can’t believe how mean you guys are” commenters actually think that this mother can teach school to fifteen kids ranging in grade level from kindergarten to 12th grade? do you actually think that this mother and father are raising these children?
NO! the burden rests on the older children! hell, the mother herself simperingly admits that each older child is “responsible” for another!! there is no justifying this behavior. in my opinion, she and her husband should be jailed for child neglect. if she had that many dogs or cats, they would have been seized, most likely.

I wonder if the reaction would be the same if the family were first- and second-generation immigrants from some country or another in Africa. After all, you’d expect them to have some strange customs, which would likely be tolerated to a greater degree in the name of cultural sensitivity.

I am disturbed by the indiscriminate breeding of the Duggar family. As to their finances, I must be the only one who watched as one of those “Extreme Makeover” shows built them a new house and stocked it, or was stunned by Discovery Channel buying them new vehicles and sending them on vacations. I have four children; we are a blended family. It is hard enough to make ends meet. I can’t imagine adding fouteen more to the mix.

Just because you are able to make a child doesn’t mean you should. There are thousands of children in need of loving homes in orphanages or foster care across the United States. Give them a chance, they need love just as much as any dropping from the baby-mill uterus of Mrs. Duggar.

Yes, not hateful, but this is sick.

I knew a fellow who came from a family of 16 kids. It was more common in rural areas, where they needed children to work the farm.

I think it’s a little selfish, and it shows a lack of self-control. They obviously don’t believe in birth control, which is sad.

Interesting how the one daughter has a career goal of “midwife”.

There’s an awful lot of assumption of “hatred” because someone doesn’t agree with this family’s beliefs. I don’t hate them. I think it’s completely irresponsible and ridiculously wasteful. The world doesn’t need more people. If they want to take care of children, and be good christians, what about adoption? How many hundreds of thousands of children are starving?
And no matter what you say, it is not right to have kids so you have someone to take care of the other kids you keep popping out. Breeding your own servants, what?
At Chad: and who pays the taxes so the government can support them? EVERYONE ELSE.

I can’t understand the unbridled hatred for this family. The hatred for children and families and different beliefs and southern states is… interesting. I think the Duggars may have the last laugh, though.

Yes hoarding is what I have thought about this since oh they had a mere 12 children. Coming from a family of 6 there is NO WAY to give the kids the attention they deserve as human beings. Raised among lots of large families and equal and fair and needed attention just DOESN’T HAPPEN!

The mom has said on tv that the kids are asigned to younger ones to raise them so popping them out to raise each other seems rather backwards. Maybe if she’d stopped at 2 or 3 she could actually handle raising them not just outplacing them to the others (as though thay have meaningful futures anyway ha ha). She runs the home like a hotel clerk and if there’s a paper out of place you know those kids pay dearly off camera.

Can the parents name their kids’ best friends or colors or bedtime stories or favorite silly rhymes? I seriously doubt it. They have just enough time to recall the newest one’s name when they crank out another.

SICK.

I’ve heard of animal hoarding. It’s a psychological issue. I wonder if you can have the same thing with kids? Although, in this case, it seems to be simple religious brainwashing.

I will never watch the Today show again. I was so disgusted that they continue to glorify this family. I used to work in social services and there are so many children that need loving homes- to continue to breed for your own selfish reasons is incomprehensible to me. I’ve read that the family defends their position by saying it is God’s work and God’s will. I have also read other religious scholars that say they are twisting the bible and God’s word to justify their actions. This is emotional abuse plain and simple. A mother and father can not possible have enought time in a day to give 18 children the love and attention they deserve. Just because you CAN have 18 children does not mean you SHOULD. Very very upsetting. I am glad I found a website with like minded views!

“Ten Great Reasons To Have Another Child”
1. Have another child to join with God in the creation of an immortal soul.

Assuming the brat joins with God after death.

2. Have another child to bring joy into your life.

As long as the kid isn’t a little hellion that makes you wish you’d never spread your legs.

3. Have another child to grown in holiness and virtue.

See #2.

4. Have another child to help end abortion.

Not getting pregnant in the first place would help “end abortion”.

5. A) Have another child so your sons will have brothers and your daughters will have sisters/B) Have another child so your sons will have sisters and your daughters will have brothers.

Because sibling rivalry doesn’t exist…?

6. Have another child so you (and your parents) won’t be lonely in old age.

They didn’t get any quality one-on-one time with you when they were kids… and you think they’re going to stick around when you’re old and drooling?

7. Have another child because people are our greatest resource.

I thought it was oil.

8. Have another child to contribute to the economy.

Adopting a child would have the same effect, especially if they would have otherwise ended up in the welfare system.

9. Have another child to counter global depopulation.

WTF?

10. Have another child to help populate heaven.

That’s assuming your kid ends up in heaven.
