You know how I can tell it's white trash?

Look at the husband.

LOOK.

You want your wife in the White House? Learn to shave, ya rummy.

S123 - You know I couldn' resist and it is all in jest anyway. You lobbed that softball right over the plate.

Bri - right on target!

Oh it's hip to be sexist again. As illustrated by Maher and even Stewart....Why are you guys any different. You want to be "hip" don't you?

I didn't mean to derail the thread with this discussion, but I am treating it like I treat the puppy. Say something right when it happens. Don't chastise later. If you are going to act like dogs, get treated like one.

There. Done. *sigh*

The attitudes are not limited to the internet, as I have to hear this kind of stuff out of people's mouths and I just get frustrated. If it's truly in jest it's funny. Unfortunately, lately, it has been neither. (funny or purely in jest)

Actually I'm beginning to think I'd rather have :gulp: her than Obama.
There - I said it. Now I'll go and deny it ever happened.

That's an older photo of that particular family (last name Dugger if you want to look them up); they currently have 18 children and a new television show on TLC.

I hear their social bookmarking website is quite successful as well.

I come at it from the standpoint of 1) families don't need 18 kids to work the fields anymore and 2) I think most of the world's problems are caused by too many people.

That said, I'm sure all cellar-based children will be fine and upstanding citizens so breed on.

Sorry for turning a goofy thread into something serious...

Dude, you never said anything about a family of 18 kids. You attacked a family of what? 5? Take your licks and move on. You are still welcome here.

Personally I feel that 18 kids is an extreme choice , what every happened to zero population growth, and would be insanely hard, also bad for one's health.

So more fuel

What should the Duggars name baby #18? Cast your vote

From here.

What should the Duggars name their new baby if it's a boy?
Jacob
Jordan
Joel
Jarred
Jefferson
Jack

I don't see Jesus H Christ in a handbag as one of the choices here.

classicman · 10-09-2008, 04:10 PM

I gotta ask - what does this guy do to support that many people?
Are we all somehow paying for this insanity?
I think it is utterly irresponsible to have that many kids.
It is disrespectful to the earth.

According to Clodfobble, they have a TV show on TLC. So if you buy the advertised products, you are supporting them.

Edit: And if you clicked the link in Shawnee's post, you saw advertising that helps support them.

Clodfobble · 10-09-2008, 04:56 PM

Well, back before they had a series, and instead just a one-hour special about building their massive new home themselves out in the middle of nowhere (at which point they only had 17 or maybe even 16 kids)... they revealed that the guy was a real estate agent, and they lived in a very modest three-bedroom house, and their biggest expenditure was $500 a week on food. She makes a lot of their clothing. One problem with living in a house that small: not everyone got to take a shower every day, because there just wasn't time.

Please note that I'm really not obsessed with this family, I just remember useless crap I see on TV really well.
