No I live in Santa Fe. Turn signals do not exist here, not even in my imagination.

Like 17 or 18 more?

We don't need that, we can get all the kids we need from Mexico.

Wow, guess I touched a few nerves here. That's fine, I'm not saying I want to take away people's rights to have lots of kids as long as I have the right to be a bit surprised. I was born in 68 with one brother, and most families I've known have had 1 to 3 kids.

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...

18 children smacks of selfish and irresponsible, in this day and age, in my humble opinion.

May as well fill your home with 90 cats; it's a hoarding illness like that.

I agree - The world needs a lot less humans on it - IMO.
Perhaps I should start with myself.

Cicero · 10-08-2008, 10:28 AM

Ok now the discussion has changed to 18 children...This is a great way to make a point.

As we all know...5 is very different from 18...don't we? Know that?

Shawnee123 · 10-08-2008, 10:30 AM

Oh, were we to make a point? What were we talking about again? [/tailposttoasinglepostdirectlyabovemine]

There once was an old woman that lived in a shoe....

Shawnee123 · 10-08-2008, 10:43 AM

Tonight we're going to have a really big shoe!

Great, I always look forward to some good plate-spinners.

Yes, 5 is different from (than? to?) 18, but both are unsustainable - both result in a net increase in population. Even people that think having two children doesn't increase the population are incorrect - there are now two more people on the planet. The only real way to have kids without increasing the population is to immediately go out and kill someone as soon as the baby is born.

At least that's what I do.

I have an inexplicable urge to get a slingshot. Or a BB gun. (For the guy with the balloons.)

classicman · 10-08-2008, 11:37 AM
