I was at the supermarket recently, going through the checkout counter, and glanced at the covers People and US magazine. They featured stories about plus size families, the Duggars and the Gosselins. Between the two of them, they've created a decent sized hamlet that would show up on the census records for sure.
The thing is...in this day and age of diminished expectations and declining availability of resources (space, housing, benefits), why do Americans still glorify the large, supersized family? Shouldn't they be thinking the other way around? We chastise 3rd world nations for putting too many kids on the planet, yet certain families in wealthy nations like the US do the same thing.
What is the special appeal of having big families? Is it religious? Is it someone showing off, proclaiming their fertility, sexual prowess? Or does the media push it on the public in order to provide hope for those who are parents?

I thought you meant obese families.
:laugh3:
I would not put too much stock in supermarket tabloids..
Average families don't sell magazines.
Joe believes the crap in the gossip rags. ac_toofunny

I don't know about that Herman..
Maybe he should have said tabloids instead of America.

Do you think those families represent America?

It would not have had the same affect as saying all of America.

It is silly to think those reality show families resemble the average working family.
America covers a lot of territory. 2 continents. 15 or 16 separate countries. I think Joe is referring to Merica not America.

We know which country Joe means. :001_rolleyes:
Birth rates are declining in the West, but they still happen simply because the females only real desire is to pop out kids and then leech.
It is how most of us are biologically hardwired....
The female? Pop out kids.
The man? Provide for her, and for her simple wishes.
I've covered this more in depth in the past, and it is nothing more than primitive instinctual patterns coming into play here. The Blacks are bad at suppressing their primitive emotions and desires especially, but the Whites do it also.
Oh Geez... We have no money and no home, here's a great idea! Let's have a bunch of kids we cannot take care of!
Makes me sick.
I've studied this for literally weeks on end...
Conclusion? People are stupid.
I will NOT date a woman that has kids. PERIOD.
I myself do not have kids, so I can make this decision without sounding "prejudice."
MOST women are just baby-making sluts... At least Western women anyhow.
MOST men nowadays are beta cucks...
Oh well! There is a reason I now focus solely on my business, since it keeps me company 24/7. My business will hopefully provide me with a return eventually, whereas a woman typically will not.
They wanted feminism and individuality? They can have it... Not on my dime, however.

You say this in every thread.
It needs to be reiterated quite often...
Quote from: "Angry White Male"
Why?
If you are single and happy, you don't want to trade with us who have families..
Likewise, many of us do not want to trade with single people..
Nobody will change their minds.
I want people to start making smart decisions...
Opening up your legs to every dick isn't smart. Popping out kids with these dicks isn't smart.
I sometimes find myself lonely, and go searching...
At my age, you women have ruined yourselves. Almost all of you. You think you may have something, but you have nothing to offer... Nothing, at all.

Everyone here has made their decisions..
We're not kids here and we're not changing our decisions..
Your message is better served on people starting out in life, not posters on a forum who made life choices at least a decade ago.
Their offspring will make the same decisions that they do.
I can guarantee you, that my word here, will do the same as a public service announcement. Which is probably very little in terms of effectiveness...
Gotta spread the word!

It is pointless to announce that to this public..
We're a small group and none of us will change our lives because Mel tells us to do that..
I would not expect Mel to change either because of hectoring from us.
