Bull! Since then, I'll have you know that I've spent LESS days sick. So my employer can kiss my ass. Also, it's entirely my choice and I'm sick to death of people complaining. You don't like it: don't do it. And as to your medicare/aid crap, I know for a fact that I'll never be on it because there's no way in hell I'd take it.

Furthermore: I don't care if you changed your mind. If you are incapable of living without being attached to a machine, you'll just have to accept the fact that it is time for you to die. But it's people like you that fight for the "right" to live. We waste a lot of energy keeping people on life support, while in reality the "natural" way would just be to let these people move on and die.

This is so true. I was discussing these Duggars earlier today, and was wondering if she had to actually be sewn up or something to keep the baby from falling out. I don't hear about her being on total bedrest or anything either. Who knows, but that aspect of the 18 kids thing(as a woman with the same parts!) really creeps me out.

As to it being a crime, heck no! Do yall realize they built that home themselves? I admire the work ethic and morals these parents are instilling in these kids. The oldest one actually found a girl willing to marry into the family! And for all her kids and age, Michelle looks beautiful. I think in no way is this an eco crime, this family is an asset to our planet.

I would like to give a direct answer to the question posed at the beginning of this Thread - an unequivical "YES". The Earth's population in 1950 was 2.5 billion. By 1990 it was five billion and today it stands just under seven!! The UNESCO projection for 2050AD is nine billion. This population growth will cause wars; famines; desertification and water shortages; pollution and ecological collapse that will bring about mass extinctions in the animal and plant kingdoms. If you believe in a God of compassion and care about your fellow man you will NOT have eighteen children. Some evangelical christians justify large families as part of the God's command in Genesis to go forth and multiply. However, this was in an empty world if you believe the biblical narrative as it is written. When couples, through a complete selfish disregard go ahead and have this number of children they sin against us all. They reek havoc on the ecological balance for future generations. It would be much better to improve the quality of life for a much smaller group of children giving them an abundant and healthy Planet.

I think that as long as you can live without the support of some kind of machine then that's fine. My problem is simply all of the respirators and feeding tubes and things like that. I mean, I understand that these statements may make me sound like a frigid bitch, but when you can no longer sustain your own life...I just think it's time to give up the ghost.

Beleive it or not, the world can sustain 40 billion people. Yeap 40 billion. The way we manage our resources and fritter away what we have is unsustainable, so 6 billion is going to overcrowd what we have already. By researching sustainable energy and utilizing it to accommodate a growth in population as well as the super rich sharing in their wealth, (what person any way is worth 100 billion dollars?) we can sustain a population growth. The feeding frenzy of panic done by the media and other outlets only causes trouble, producing an inability to really focus on what matters. Our ability to really grow as a people (metaphorically this time) Having 18 children is a blessing. Having children is a satisfying experience. But to those who really can't afford it? There are so many avenues that can be taken in this argument, but I really do beleive that if we stop the wars and get the rich to share and help with the economy we wouldn't be in this hideous mess in the first place.

Eco-crimes or more plainly, crimes against humanity are from people who advocate social movements for people to not having children.
Those people should be locked in a prison with no food.
A woman asked for a child and God gave them 18. God might trying to make a point. What point would that be?

If we weren't so stupid we would lift our eyes upwards and gaze at the million of stars that surround us. These are worlds. Many of them might be suitable for habitation. Only thing that keeps humankind away from them is our stupidity and laziness.

We don't need 50 million people imported from Africa to Europe because Europeans supposedly do not reproduce enough.. We do not need the global financial and technological advantage shifting over other countries that traditionally were used to and are governed by totalitarian regimes just so that PTB, some day not so far in the future as some romantics hoped it would be, if the current trends keep up, soon, they will have a nice dumped down and docile population so the same PTB can continue their rule upon the unsuspected dumped down and stupefied masses.

Overpopulation could help us realize that we can inhabit other worlds, thus expand and succeed. The problem is THERE IS NO OVERPOPULATION over resources in reality. Just a psychological war campaign to dumb down and shorten the more achieving and bright part of the population of this planet and replace them with a more dumped down version of slaves.
This war is NOT NEW! It is as old as mankind herself is. People have to wake up! We are supposed to become wiser by now. Surprisingly we are becoming more and more stupid each day by succumbing to every God damn theory there is that advocates population thinning.

NO GOD DAMN WAY!
PTB your days are numbered. More and more people are waking up every day from their long slumber and noticing whats going down. I am one of them.

They are financially independent.

They have no debt.

All of the children are more intelligent and caring than you could ever hope to be.

Please move on you useless waste of flesh.

Your hogging valuable resources that could be used for a worthwhile being.
