I have to wonder; If this family is as perfect as they seem to be, WHY do they need that kind of control over what the general public sees?
Bother not the cat. For they are sneaky and will piss on thy keyboard.

Here's a blog by someone who knows them:

monkeybox: The Duggar Family - 17 Children

And no one is saying the family is perfect. What I am saying is how many kids they want is their own business. To make assumptions regarding the welfare of the kids is wrong, and to say derogatory things about them just because you don't agree with how they live their life is also wrong.

I remember watching one of their shows -the mother said something like, "Saying you have too many children is like saying that there are too many flowers."

I'd suggest that they (the parents) get a hobby but apparently they've already found one that they like -a lot!!

THAT, whether you like to admit it or not, is prejudice.
It is prejudice, I don't deny that. But I am not trying to deny them anything... I am just saying that I do not personally believe these kids can possibly be given the love and attention they deserve. Am I not entitled to that belief? I am not saying this should be illegal, or that the kids should be taken away or any such. I am just saying I find this to be in poor taste and judgement. Am I not so entitled?

Exactly... There is no way, it's inconceivable to me that this family could not be seriously dysfunctional.

1) Who said anything derogatory?

2) We are free to say what ever we damn well please about these people so long as it is not libelous. This is still a free country, and some of us obviously feel this is a subject worth discussing.

See, you are not stating this as your opinion, you are stating this as fact!!!

How do you know they need therapy? Have you talked to them?
