The Duggers Are At It Again!!!

[SuperFerret]

They aren't hurting anyone, so who cares? And hey, it's really telling that a different culture makes some of you sick.

But the are hurting people. We, as a planet, already have a problem with population. Now, these twobhave made 20 more. Also, I'd say the odds are better than fair that they've taught their kids to do something similar. If each of their kids only has 10 each, that's another 200! You, can see where this can go. I know they're looking at the Bible and reading how it says to go forth and populate the Earth, but he Earth is populated at this point. I'm not saying that there should be any sort of regulations on how many kids you can have, just that there's a certain level of responsibility.

Eh, nature's in the process of balancing things out.

...

By that logic, doesn't every person who has children do harm simply by adding another human being to the Earth's population? Or is there a certain number of children per couple that hurts the planet?

yay! Thanks for helping to deplete our already shrinking resources and adding to over-population! Good show!

I'm all for government sanctioned child birth.

It makes me sick because it's irresponsible...not because it's a "different culture".

 

[Shemtov]

Well that cause they're uber-religious, so woman are seen as home and baby makers, not people. Also, think they've got a real backwards view on relationships, they're oldest kid wasn't allowed to be alone or kiss his girlfriend/fiancee until they were married. That just seems unnatural and not a good way to meet and get to know someone for a commitment as big as marriage to me.

I am very offended as that's how my religion does things, too.
It's not unatural, it's called a different veiw....a different culture.
Grow a pair of toleration balls.

That's unconstitutional.

Having children is one thing, and if every couple has two, they are simply creating their replacements. By having 20, and then those kids having 10-20 each, and those having 10-20 each, you will have between 2000-8000 people in a matter of around 30-40 years. That's going to cause huge problems for the community they live in.

See the irresponsibility there?

Sick religious freaks. With every kid they have they're taxing the planet's resources more and more. These headcases should be examined.

You're implying that all religious people are sick.

 

[enterthemadness]

Maybe, but at this point you need to throw out that rule stating so.

Throw out the first amendment?

 

[enterthemadness]

I thought that was freedom of speech...point us, this planet is overpopulated. 7 billion people...on a small planet that is two-thirds covered by water. I know it's a tough topic to talk about but something needs to be done. In the early 1900's there was about 2 billion people...

Some of those kids will probably be gay, impotent, unable to find a mate, unwilling to raise more than x amount of kids, dead before getting the chance, etc. I'm sure they'll still be a big family, but something tells me Ma & Pa Dugger won't have 400 grandchildren running around.
