Duggar update

Thanks to Prouster for a link overnight to news a couple of months old now, but new to me and I'm guessing several others. Another Duggar is on the way -- 17th child. (Sorry, my only file photo is two kids short, but you get the idea.)

That's just sick. The woman's uterus has to be...never mind it's too early.
And clearly a demonstration of how something so beautiful can be twisted into something so ugly. Every high school sex-ed class ought to use this family as a reason for birth control.

The salient themes in this situation? Irresponsible and self-serving.

The shoe polish alone must be a pretty big expense.

Jim seems to have the biggest smile on his face....
I think her uterus must be closet to falling out.

Zelda, if it makes you feel any better, I often use the Duggars as examples in my biology class. It would probably horrify them to know how often they come up in conjunction with the theory of evolution--specifically the part that says all populations reproduce at a greater rate than resources can support. I've also used them as an example of mental illness--cause they gots to be crazy, I tells ya'.

This reminds me of back in the day when McDonald's would change their sign now and then saying how many people they served.......The Duggars might think about putting such a sign on the front of their 10 bedroom incubator.
I fully support the Duggars right to have kids until Michelle's baby-making equipment swings between her legs. I believe every American should be in charge of how many children they want to have. This ain't China!
I also believe every American has the right to pick their nose and eat it. If we took a vote I'm betting there would be many more in favor of booger eating than birthing 17 children. But I am always for personal choice.
I hope to be around 20 years from now when one of the gay Duggars children writes a tell-all book about growing up in the Duggars stalag. Maybe the book will dissuade other far out wingnuts from spitting out pups at a rate that makes rabbits jealous.
Why are there no parades or news stories about women with the least number of children? I think this is rather unfair. Sometimes in life I've found less is more. Let's here it for barren women!!!
PS Good luck with your pregnancy Ms Duggars.

Why didn't they adopt a few? (at least a dozen)
Reckon they wear name tags?

Huckabee, if elected, will tap Michelle for Secretary of Labor.

The name-tag comment got me to thinking about the Dr. Seuss story of the woman who named all twenty-three of her kids "Dave." Click on my name to see the updated story.

The Duggers are doing God's work. Lots and lots of new reconstructionists to populate the earth and help turn this country into the theocracy God always intended it to be doncha' know.
They homeschool using Bill Gothard's materials.
Since I homeschool I have run into these folks before (the stories I could tell) and that is some batshit crazy fundi stuff. Don't be fooled into thinking that pride does not play a part in this brithing until you die.
Right now, all over the country, there are "quiverfull" husbands (and wives) holding the Duggers, Michelle in particular, as an example of faithful adherence to God's word and wondering why their wife cannot be more fruitful and obedient.
DBI is right that it is their right in this country to do as they please and I bet there will be some tell all books in the future. Just wish folks like them extended the same courtesy to the rest of us and left the rest of us alone to do as we please.

That should have been "these TYPES of folks" I've never actually met the Duggers.

Honestly, it's irresponsible.
The daughter's bear the burden of caring for the babies, while the boys do whatever? They can't cut their hair, they look like rejects from Little House on the Praire ( one of my favorite shows, before anyone gets mad), the kids are home schooled, isolated and only hang out with people like them! Yikes, it sounds like a cult in the making. To each their own, true enough, but dang, lets be for real.
On a lighter note, some interesting genetics studies could be done, they have enough for a whole 4X4 punnett square! And on behavior, conditioning and look at a how many boys they have! As much as they don't like science, they are a science project in the making.!
Boogers, that was funny...

From the article:
"While not everyone may agree with their birth control practices, it is nice to see a family that really welcomes all additions."
When my final exam comes and I step into the great unknown it will be a sense of relief, not that I will be around to enjoy it.
Let's hope the rest of the world does not use "their birth control pracitices" which likely amounts to the times when JimBob works late.
With today's modern medical miracles overpopulation takes on new dimensions never thought of before. Mothers/dads in India would be jealous.
In a world that's gone from ONE Billion population in 1850 to over 6.7 Billion today (half the increase since 1970) too many Duggars means someone will not have enough water to shower or drink.
Does mankind have a built in longevity gene? Or must we still rely on disease, famines, unloaded guns and cars to keep us in check? That overpopulation clock seems to be spinning pretty damn fast. Take a look.

Can someone remind me what Mr Dugger does to make a living for his large family?
And BTW, did Holt (also the dad of a bunch of kids) ever get a real job?
