lol!

You can't really have the same thing with two kids, Phil, because then you have only given two people life, and you could do it with more -- even with Michael's example, I think the optimism lies more in thinking that the fact of someone having a life at all is an extraordinary thing, and worthwhile even if it consists of much struggle or unextraordinary results. Here is life, go forth into it, etc.

I am not saying I recommend this, or that families couldn't comfortably live up to that around like 8 births -- just that I find it an interesting mentality to find in the western world, and there are notions in there that are worthwhile. People often talk about the economic reasons families in the third world have lots of children, but possibly leave out this mentality, where just having a child and sending him/her forth into the world is a thing in itself, just so long as you can feed it.

Seventeen still beats all, but my parents both come from families hovering around the 10-children point -- and on at least one side of the family, the idea of random east-African farmers having a bunch of kids and half of them winding up college professors in the US offers some slight recommendation to this sort of thing not always ending in misery. The thing is, even if all of those children hadn't lucked out, had died of childhood diseases or become random east-African farmers of even smaller plots, I'm not sure I'd describe it as some awful fatalism for my grandparents to have just been happy they had kids who saw the world for a while and struggled like everyone else.

That's probably not a good avenue of comparison, though, because in the third world the only real question is whether you can feed the child or not -- the west offers opportunities to invest in the child, to offer better education and buy things that make him/her happy, and so on...

Anyway, rest assured I am not saying this is a wonderful plan, just that there's some kind of faith and optimism somewhere in there that I, umm, find touching and admire, from a great great distance.

More must pass on our awesome, awesome genes!!!

xp - but that house is in Little Rock, which is almost like civilization.

Looking at the mom and one of the eldest girls, is this the actual family from the "Vagina, it's not a clown car"? photo? That pic was around in 2003 and I think there were 13 kids on it then, so that might be about right...

I like how the older kids are all smiles and the young ones are like "BEWARE BEWARE"

looks about right

Oh god is it that family? Hahaha.

An Apostolic Lutheran family near where I grew up was rumored to have had 23 kiddos. That's like two soccer teams plus a ref.

Is it evem good for the body to have that many children? Eep.

does that really matter?

People from that denomination were widely known to drive big 12 or 15-passenger vans to hold all the kids. If you drove by one of the churches you'd see it wasn't necessarily an inaccurate stereotype.

there's been at least one filipino family that got up to 30 or so

I would put money on these people having no idea where babies come from

how do you mean

cause i mean like he's has sex with her at least 17 times, maybe even more if you know what i mean

I think he's saying that maybe they do not get the connection and perhaps think that the Lord is just Blessing them with an Enormous Tax Exemption.

Tontitown has some good Italian food.

And yes, it's the same family in both pictures.

See, I feel exactly the opposite of nabisco here, because it's not like we're running out of human beings anytime soon, but we are running out of the kinds of things that families like this tend to use up at a prodigious fucking rate. You can have the kind of thing you describe with two kids just as easily as with twenty.

yeah maybe they should at least try using some cloth diapers instead of 90k disposable ones!

The whole thing seemed less like gritty, Protestant optimism and more like obscurantist, peasant fatalism with a nice overlay of some weird kind of French gothic decadence.

I'm late now, but I have changed my mind about my screen name.

That's probably not a good avenue of comparison, though, because in the third world the only real question is whether you can feed the child or not -- the west offers opportunities to invest in the child, to offer better education and buy things that make him/her happy, and so on...

depends on what you make, doesn't it?

even in this first world

<i>You can't really have the same thing with two kids, Phil, because then you have only given two people life</i>

"Only." If you really value "creating a life" as a good in itself, any number greater than zero is sufficient.

no, if you value "creating a life" as a good in itself then you can always do more good by creating more lives (at least until your womb dries up or your husband becomes impotent, which is god's sign that you've done enough).

Looks are deceiving.

Actually, according to close friends of the Duggars, the older kids are in complete charge of the younger ones. Yep. Mrs. D gives birth and breastfeeds - then the older ones take over.

She also does something called blanket training. Blanket training means putting a baby on a blanket, using a stick to hit all around the edge of it as a threat to baby not to come off the blanket, or it will get the stick. Once baby is so trained, mom leaves it there so she can chat with friends. Raising kids or what?

They get a lot of donations from people - so while it's not govrernment welfare, JimBob doesn't really provide. With all the publicity he exploits his family and his sexual appetite for material gain.

Sad. Using children for political and material gain.

Throwing a hot dog down a hallway:

In this fun phrase the hot dog represents a penis and the hallway

 represents the enormous vagina. Usually due to the fact that the woman

 has had many many sexual partners which has stretched the vagina

 walls to the size of a "hallway".

I've heard it as 'throwing a banana up broadway...'

throwing a welly up main street

ok NOW that picture is funny. can't believe i didn't get it.

how is babby formed

nabisco wrong, phil right:

if you gotta have a whole bevy o' little ones, why not adopt and do the whole world some good and give your privates a break?

who are we to tell someone how overworked their privates are?

but i see y'allses point all the same.

the world record for most babies born to a single woman is 69. Only two died in infancy.

including four sets of quadruplets

if you gotta have a whole bevy o' little ones, why not adopt and do the whole world some good and give your privates a break?

Because it's not about having the little ones, just creating them.

But I am not of Nabisco's opinion, and am more of the school that this is a fairly terrible world and we must huddle together for safety and squeeze out what little pleasures we can and try to make things better for one another because of it.

Guess who's pregnant with number 18!

damn gurl

I just learned that my aunt accidentally gave birth to her daughter in the toilet. Just 'sploosh!' Out it came when she was sitting. My dad said she called when it happened, hoping to get hold of my mom (her sister). "I just had my baby in the toilet! What should I do?" "Call the doctor?" he said. The baby was fine.

She know introduces this little girl (who is five!) as "my toilet baby."

My dad could not answer questions about her pelvic floor muscles.

Original post. she should be deliverin by now

That is some seriously cruel shit right there.

I hate my aunt so much.

Not least because "clown car" implies accommodating numerous individuals simultaneously, not in succession.

At the circus, clown car arrives, clown gets out followed by another clown, then another, until an unfeasible amount of clowns have alighted from the vehicle.

There. Who says analysing comedy kills the humour?

But then the oldest clown starts molesting the younger ones.

nobody said the duggars don't have vivid imaginations.

hey guys, good news! my friend from college who was kind of religious who then married a really religious dude and got into the whole "quiverfull" thing woke up and got divorced! it only took four or five kids, but then she apparently was like "whoa dude I am not having any more kids, i'm out of here"

Josh Duggar has been arrested for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material. Haven't thought about these guys in a while.

I knew ILX would have a thread about this story, I just had no idea it would be titled "vaginas are not clown cars."
