Yes, I saw that too.

I mean, come on. They are debt free. Their house, that they all helped build, is 7,000 sq ft, and is paid for, the house is super organized.

Instead of criticizing this family, more families should be emulating them!!! Other then the obvious.

They seem like a nice clean cut bunch of kids. I don't envy the father trying to put 16 children through college!

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

How do you know they're not? How do you know they didn't just give birth to the person who will find the cure for cancer?

People like this aren't that forward thinking. They are selfish, and don't think of anyone else but them selves. They think they are doing something holy... It's sad... I find it kind of reprehensible...

Or maybe they gave birth to the next serial killer? Or rapist?

Why? Why do you assume these children are wanting for anything, including their parents love and attention?

Do you know them? Have you met them, have you talked to them? Or are you just making assumptions based on one other person's experience?

THAT, whether you like to admit it or not, is prejudice.
