Take a look at this article: Mom gives birth to sixteenth child and wants more
How in the world could someone be a good parent to 16 kids, especially with very little children in the house? At least these people have the financial means to support these children and they seem to want them. But really, if you have to build “dormitory style” housing for your kids, do you not have a few too many? How could a child receive quality time in a family situation like that? If you sleep 8 hours per day that leaves you 16 hours that you can do other things with. The Dad has a real job so he obviously cannot spend even 30 minutes to an hour of alone time just talking to each child each day. The mother stays at home but that means that she is cooking, using the four washers and dryers, cleaning the 7000 sq ft home, and also they find time to reproduce (over and over again). These people could not be spending very much individual time with the kids. This does seem like irresponsible breeding to me. Do they NEED 16 children? Do they have a large farm? No. They just WANT 16 children. Could they not have had a couple of kids and adopted the rest? I mean, if you are going to have a ton of kids, why not help children that need homes rather than create more. At this point, they are just contributing to overpopulation, environmental damage (through trash, a giant house, no doubt gas guzzling cars to carry around all those kids, etc.) In addition, can any of these kids ever do anything they want? If one wants to play soccer and another wants to play lacrosse, do they let them or do they make them all play baseball because they can just drop off all the kids at the park because it is convenient? At any rate, these people seem rather creepy to me and the fact that this couple still has a good 10+ years of breeding left (or more) is frightening. Also, they seem to be ignorant of the conception process. The husband said, “I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them…” HELLO. This is not the virgin Mary we are talking about here. They had sex to make babies, it was not an immaculate conception! People who do not understand this should not make babies!!! Also, the bit about “she will accept them…” makes it sound as though she takes them only because the Lord is making a request of her. Is there a psychological disorder for someone who likes to make babies? If so, this couple has it. Alternatively, if they are not really sure about how this is happening, that might also be the problem.
Yesterday, I surfed on to CNN.com and saw that they had a little street documentary about the Big Mac and how McDonalds is putting nutrition labels about calories, fat, sat. fat, sodium, etc right on the wrapper so that all people who eat a Big Mac and fries know they are eating a billion grams of saturated fat, tons of calories, and enough sodium to make any blood pressure medication manufacturer happy. And the Americans they interviewed by in large said they did not want to know what they were putting inside of their bodies! Most of the British people they interviewed DID want to know what they were putting in their bodies. Why do Americans have to be stupid? They also asked people how many calories they thought were in a Big Mac and the french fries. One woman seriously said “10 calories.” When they told her the Big Mac had 560 calories she was in shock. Ten calories? Are you kidding me? How can you NOT know what a calorie is and how much is in your food at least enough to hazard a reasonable estimate? People are dumb!
