17 Kids!!!

Yes, and people are free to actually move from state to state and do it often for many reasons. I would imagine that to a gay person this might be a good reason to move. I repeat again that I do not see the connection at all between that topic and the original idea behind this thread.

I suppose you might also think that, in keeping with the explosive population, sterilizing people based on their family income might be a good idea. After all, a poor family cannot contribute much at all to the planet but instead just takes. Where I have heard the term *unproductive eaters* before? I shudder to think where your attitude could take us.

Yes, you pay taxes and so do I. Your tax dollars are no different than mine yet you take such offense. I think your problem with this family goes deeper than just the size of their family.

Please do not analyse me without a license!

And PCB...

The government doesn't want gays to marry, not because 'they control family life'. Its because marriage is between man and woman, and that is how God made mankind, and made the world,

The government of the United States should NOT be making decisions based on religion just as religious leaders hould not be making political decisions!

I have a problem with overpopulators - white, black, brown, christian, muslim.

So, if a man went on the Today Show (or Jerry Springer) and introduced his wife, then said he was also having relations with her sister, her brother, her mother, her grandmother, her great uncle and his wife, your response would be..."this is a free country so I make no judgement!"

I am my brother's keeper, no man is an island, etc. WE all have to live on this earth together so I DO get to have an opinion (judgement if you prefer) about how others are using the planet. And so do you.

Do you think if I see someone polluting it would be judgemental of me to disapprove?

That's what I said! I completely agree!

Gay people shouldn't HAVE to move. They should be allowed to marry and adopt kids in ANY state. I would be interested in hearing any arguments against gay marriage and adoption that are not religious-based.

It just sounds to me like people are just out for a good witch hunt here.

All the issues brought up about this family are based on nothing but assumptions. They are polluting the earth with 90,000 diapers (yet you don't know if they even used disposable. You just assume) Well then they consume more food and produce more waste (yet you don't know if they have a compost, recycle, etc etc.) They COULD be more earth friendly than anyone around them but that wouldn't matter to any of you because there are 19 of them.... well I for one think that perhaps 19 people who always turn off the lights, unplug appliances, recycle everything that can be recycled, compost etc etc are much better for the planet than say.... 19 families of 3 that do NONE of that.... and we all know there are PLENTY of those families. All based on assumption of what you THINK this family does or doesn't do. Not to mention "It's MY tax money" Well eventually all 19 of those people will be paying tax money too.... but I'll bet they don't throw a hissy fit everytime you use their roads. Your tax money vs 19 people's tax money.... seems they will be paying more into taxes than you do.
