I thought it was pronounced "Clowncarfull."

Right, Jim-Bob - it's time to give Ma Duggar's popamatic uterus a well-earned retirement.
Snip it or zip it!

I have a hard time believing a legitimate doctor would approve of this.

He would never do that - it would be against God.

I'm betting that Michelle will die in chlldbirth - and her eldest daughter will get tagged to raise the brood.

Stop celebrating these huge families. Humans aren't meant to have this many living children.

IrateShadow: 1lb, 6 oz.? I've eaten sandwiches bigger than that.

Hell, I've taken dumps bigger than that - without a damn birthing coach!

Quiverfulll? I thought it was spelled Quiverfullll.

IrateShadow: 1lb, 6 oz.? I've eaten sandwiches bigger than that.

I've eaten babies bigger than that.

ne2d: TheGrayCat: Stop celebrating these huge families. Humans aren't meant to have this many living children.

So how many children are we "meant to" have?

2.5 and a dog.

TheGrayCat: He would never do that - it would be against God.

But having a 1lb 6oz baby only live because of months in the NICU is just fine by God?

IrateShadow: 1lb, 6 oz.? I've eaten sandwiches bigger than that.

Hell. My daughter was born three months early and she weighed a full pound more than that.

ne2d: TheGrayCat: Stop celebrating these huge families. Humans aren't meant to have this many living children.

So how many children are we "meant to" have?

As many as we can adequately care for, give adequate attention to, meet their emotional needs and still allow them to be children. These kids are nothing but workers in an overcrowded household. I pity these poor kids.

Any bets on when this idiot gets pregnant again?

I'm guessing about three this afternoon.

NASA photographed her vagina from space.

According the Jim-Bob - yes, that is just fine by God. I'm sure he'll say that that child was put on the earth for a 'reason'. This baby's suffering will be some sick sort of 'lesson' for their other kids, in his mind.

IrateShadow: 1lb, 6 oz.? I've eaten sandwiches bigger than that.

I LOLd.

You farkers are just jealous that someone is getting laid more than you.

Rye_: Actually, they all appear to be pretty happy. And debt-free, I hear.

Happy based on what? What they say for the cameras in their television show?

vernonFL: You farkers are just jealous that someone is getting laid more than you.

And what a lay it must be.

now if we could just manage to get about 10% of the country building large families like this one, we would have enough people to tax social security AND public option health care into prosperity!

remember kids - if you want your generational ponzi schemes to work, you need women pumping out huge litters of cute little taxpayers.

Rye_: Hey, I don't want 19 kids, you clearly don't want 19 kids, I don't know anyone who wants 19 kids, but if they're happy and can make it work, who are you to criticize?

Don't you get it, man? It's the internet. This is where we go to anonymously pass judgment upon others.

Rye_: Hey, I don't want 19 kids, you clearly don't want 19 kids, I don't know anyone who wants 19 kids, but if they're happy and can make it work, who are you to criticize?

Someone on Fark? Isn't that what we do here?

Rye_:

This guy's family looked pretty happy off the bat, too.

Damn. They have more kids than Tiger has girlfriends.

Weaver95: remember kids - if you want your generational ponzi schemes to work, you need women pumping out huge litters of cute little taxpayers.

Uh, actually isn't that exactly the problem with social security? The baby boom? Remember that?

If the boomers had popped out enough kids, we'd have been fine. THAT was the problem.

oblig.

Pfft to fiscal solvency. I say we use the litters to solve third world hunger crises.

KudaMuda: TheGrayCat: Humans aren't meant to have this many living children.

What does that mean?

It means hundreds of years ago, humna had as many children as possible because a large portion of them wouldn't make it out of childhood. Now, the vast majority of kids make it through to adulthood.

I just don't think any human can give adequate attention and love to 18 (or now 19) kids. I do think most of these kids feel neglected. It doesn't help that they seem to be nothing but workers, cleaning up after each other and posing for the cameras. It's a creepy, not-altogether-healthy environment, no matter how many smiley faces they make for the cameras.

And then once they reach child bearing age, look out.

Eep. Hope the baby makes it.

That sounds like a modest proposal.

Golf clap to you, sir.

19 does sound excessive, but big family does not always equal unhappy family. My parents had eight kids (number 6 here) and we honestly did better than the majority of families out there. No real sibling hatred, rivalries, or bickering. We get together over the holidays and it's a blast. My father just retired from his career as an orthopedic surgeon, so he was able to provide.

Can't speak for a family over twice as large, but having more then 2.5 kids doesn't always end in disaster and sorrow.
