Condoms, Please!

Look at the Duggars. They're from my home town in Arkansas. They have... wait is it 58 or 59 kids now. No one throws a fit about them having that many kids, because they're beyond financially stable, and they're a white, christian family. Rules on what is morally right shouldn't change because of demographics.

I'd never heard of the Duggars (nor seen this thread) until I came across this item in today's news:
Duggars Pregnancy: Michelle & Jim Bob Defend Their Decision : People.com

Child #20 is on the way. I just don't get it. I simply cannot fathom what would make someone who already has 19 kids think that it's fine to have another.

Also, they are crazy people (His name is JimBob) who decided that they will bump uglies as much as they can and it's up to God to stop them from having kids:

JimBob: "we decided to allow God to determine the number of children"

According to them, they used to practice birth control, but she had a miscarriage and they think its Gods way of punishing them because God wants them to have lots of kids.

Crazy folk.
 
I'm not condoning their activities, but I wonder if women hunt these guys out to attempt a payday via whatever multi millionaires pay in child support.

Also, you take a kid from a lower-class upbringing, put him through college, tell him he's the best thing ever, draft him into a professional sports league, give him millions of dollars, tell him he's the best thing ever, and then expect him not to take the money and fame and use them like he stole it? Yeah right. The same thing is happening all across this country in low class neighborhoods, but no one cares because they're poor. At least these guys have the means to make their kids' lives alright.

I had a friend who's sister went out and intentionally got pregnant as soon as her youngest was old enough to go to school.

She was on a government subsidy and the amount was due to go way down once her kid was in school.

She went after musicians. She did find a 'donor'.
 
Un père de 29 enfants en Belgique! - YouTube

(in french)

This is a family in the nearest city of my home.
The guy has 3 wifes and 29 children.

First and official wife gave him 15 children, his second 'wife' is in fact the sister of his wife which wanted kids and was single. He proposed to have sex with her to get her pregnant, his wife was ok, so she accepted, now she has 6 kids. And the last one is his girlfriend !! (yes he still has some energy left after the previous two) she had 8 pregnencies.

They said wanted some kids more.

Some of the names are totaly stupid, one of them bears the name of 'Bruce Lee'
