Well then EvilBeagle, according to your perspective, everyone has a right to be a bigot. Or a Racist. Everyone has a right to disciplin their children with leather belts and paddle boards. Everyone has a right to build compounds and become a cult. Everyone has a right to dig a hole in their front yard and use it for a used motor oil dumpsite. Everyone has the right to kill neighbors' dogs or cats who stray onto their property.
There are a lot of things there are no "sprecific laws" prohibiting, but that doesn't mean to do these things is wise or not harmful to others....

Having 18 kids is not wise, commendable, noble, nor something to be "proud" of. It is irresponsible, unnecessary, selfish and degrading to us all.

I do NOT "hate" the Duggars. I am merely disgusted. I am also not thrilled with the idea that their behavior is being congratulated and celebrated as a noble and loving cause. It isn't.
Pumping out children like litters of pups and then handing them off for your other "children" to raise is not noble, nor loving. It's not even remotely responsible.

I suspect some sort of mental illness issues are going on in Michelle Duggar's head. Perhaps feeding off the relgious fanaticism that inspires such mental (and social) instability.
I do not "hate" the Duggars, But I don't like what they are doing to their children - "Christian Army" children.
