Middle Child Syndrome

Arkansas couple wants to have an 18th child. Come on Andy and Graf. Don't you know it's a race? You actually need to have a total of 36 to make up for all the kiddies I'm not having.

I just want to know who will clean up the mess when her uterus, ovaries and other female hooha's fall out.
Wasn't there some woman in South America that had like 25 kids?

I love it when these people who have huge broods break out the old "be fruitful and multiply" chestnut. They are usually the same assholes that believe in "The Rapture" and use every opportunity to bring about a speedy death to the already exhausted rock we live on.
The thought of those 18 kids all eventually driving SUVs to Wal•Mart to feed and cloth their own numerous offspring is horrifying.
Makes me almost wish for a 20+ year war in the Middle East . . . Hello, compulsory military service/herd thinning! Either that or a Pandemic contained in the Bible Belt.

What's really creepy about this (and there's a lot) is that eldest Jennifer could start poppin' out kids who are peers to their aunts and uncles.
"So, is this your daughter?"
"No, she's my sister."
Wha!?!
Yick.

There are so many issues that I take with this it boggles my mind. There was a time when a big family was a practical answer to, say, working on a farm . . . but those days are gone
Having a family of that size is this day and age is really out of whack. Where's the logic? It strikes me as gluttonous and, in a weird way, vain.
They probably see themselves as righteous "Christian Soldiers" doing the Lords work by procreating to such a degree. Even scarier, at some point they'll all be of voting age.

Sheesh, I found it heart-warming. They gave a perfectly sound rationale for having all the babies ("We love the ruffles and lace.") I think you all owe Jennifer, Joshua, John David, Janna, Jill, Jessa, Jinger (!), Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, and Johannah an apology.

hey dad, whaddya mean by "make up for all the kiddies I'm not having"? I had such a nice weekend with you, tossing the ball around, having those root beer floats, going to that gay shame parade...

Where the fuck should I start with this? More idiotic, home schooled, bible-thumping, Southern crackers taxing the planets' resources.
So, from what I understand, the Earths population has more than doubled in the last 40 years. Anyone else see a problem with this trend?
