Would you like to see them taken away?
No, I just want someone to slap some sense into these ignorant parents.

^ The Quebec government actually does that in the form of incentives. Not sure what the current programs are but there have been cash bonuses to have babies and top-up of federal income replacement during maternity leave. They also have had $5/day daycare subsidized by the province.
With so many fuck ups out there I just find it hard to go after a family that functions well, even though it's different.
The "Allowance for Newborn Children" gave $500 per family for a first-born child and up to $8,000 for a third child. That program was scrapped in 1997.
And Quebec is the only province to have its own parental-leave program having opted of the federal program. It pays up to 75 per cent of insurable earnings.
And it's now $7/day subsidized daycare.
Socialism.
i would like to see some movements in state congress equal to those that would like to prevent gays from adopting to prevent people from having no more than 4 children, because in myreligiouspersonal view, children need no more than 3 siblings because they will get confused. every child has one mother than one father -- NOT several older sisters -- and with so many older siblings acting as de facto parents, a child could, again, get confused.
please, think of the children.
I got hooked on it when they always had it on at the gym during my workout.
Yikes. Addiction is bad.
I watch almost no TV but what I do watch is usually really bad. Mostly because it's an effective way to wind down after a long day (my brain is okay for the first 12 hours of work, it starts to fry after that though).

There is something healing and relaxing about really awful TV.
This is why you think women should stay home and home school, right? Going to daycare or school is just too damn confusing.
...meanwhile they invite TV cameras into their home and turn their private lives into gawk-and-point entertainment for the masses. The worst of the Good Old Days and the worst of the present rolled into one. If they weren't intentionally peddling themselves as spectacle/role model (whichever your prefer--they'll take the attention/money either way!), I'd be considerably more sympathetic, or at least indifferent.Very limited TV and internet usage, all dating must go through the father first, all dates must be chaperoned by a parent, girls can't have short hair or wear long pants, girls must stay at home until they get married, girls can't go to college, no physical interaction or kissing until marriage.
Saw last night's episode and it was shocking in how rude the children were. I blame the parents.
They went to DC and for dinner to an Ethiopian restaurant. There were also some Ethiopian dancers performing during the meal. The children (and this includes the oldest one and his WIFE) spent the entire time rolling their eyes at the performance, holding their noses at the food (not kidding), and whining about how gross it was. Neither parent tried to correct the children at any point.
When Arkansas mom and reality TV star Michelle Duggar announced on the Today show Sept. 1 that she was pregnant with her 19th child, millions of Americans expressed joy and amazement.
Josie Brooklyn Duggar checked in at 6:27 p.m. She weighed 1 pound, 6 ounces and was reported to be resting in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. A family spokesman told People magazine that the infant was expected to be fine.
the Duggars aren't gay, are they?
that could really, really warp a child and stunt their sexual development.
I have to say, I watch the show whenever I happen to see it, and I agree. The things I read about them are kind of shocking. Very limited TV and internet usage, all dating must go through the father first, all dates must be chaperoned by a parent, girls can't have short hair or wear long pants, girls must stay at home until they get married, girls can't go to college, no physical interaction or kissing until marriage. Plus the dad ran for the US Senate a while back, which means he would have been gone a lot of the time.
I guess I shouldn't judge, and if they're happy and following their religion without hurting anyone... it's just VERY different.
