Nikolita Chalda: There was an article on Fark awhile back in which a woman in Arkansas (sp? I think that's where it was), who had 14 kids and was pregnant with her 15th. Oldest kid was about 16 I think, the youngest was an infant, maybe 1 year old. I don't remember which. Anyways the article was saying she was awarded the "Mother of the Year" award in the town. Here I know I have the article somewhere... *goes to check the Fark bookmarks of diff. commentary threads* The article (moved to archives): http://search.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040525/NEWS/40525030The Fark commentary thread for the article: http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=969471From the article: Michelle, who home schools her children and is helping to build the family's new home in Tontitown from the ground up, started having her babies when she was 21, four years after she and Jim Bob married. Her 38-year-old husband is a real estate businessman.
Their children include two sets of twins, and the parents have stuck to the letter "J" for their names. There is Joshua, 16; Jana and John-David, 14; Jill, 13; Jessa, 11; Jinger, 10; Joseph, 9; Josiah, 7; Joy-Anna, 6; Jeremiah and Jedidiah, 5; Jason, 4; James, 2; and Justin, 1.For the record, she started having kids when she was 21 - she's 37 now, her husband is 38. They're Southern Baptist I think, and they don't use birth control because they believe children are a "gift from God". (I don't disagree with that, I just think 15 is a few too many gifts from God.) I'm pretty sure I saw an article on the local news about this somewhere, too, which is why I'm saying some stuff that I don't think is included in the article. Anyways, so she's been what, pregnant and breastfeeding for 16 years straight? Oh, and all of her kids' names start with "J" - her husband's name starts with "J" too (Jim Bob xd ). Crazy people. I think people like this should be sterilized. No way one couple needs 15 kids. ya I would say that is 12/13 to many gifts from god. yeesh I can barely keep one in line not to mention one piece.

The world isn't overpopulated though, and won't be. It's just the very uneven distribution of resources and land space that make crowding and famine happen. There aren't too many people on this earth.

Vanilla Pod The world isn't overpopulated though, and won't be. It's just the very uneven distribution of resources and land space that make crowding and famine happen. There aren't too many people on this earth. Sounds about right. The article was just disturbing to me though, so that's why I added it in my post. Sorry. whee

 If a guy knows that he had done it many times, why would he NOT tell to his partner whom he married???

aino10shi If a guy knows that he had done it many times, why would he NOT tell to his partner whom he married??? Thats a good question he should tell you because if he doesnt it shows lack of trust and honesty in your marriage. Give him a chance to explain why he wont though, goodluck.

((not that it happens to me or anything!)) ppl die from STDs and AIDS because either they had it ((in varies of ways)) or her partner done it with many females! How can anyone hide this from their partner?? I mean, unless you think this will make things better, your partner might end up unprepared to the consequences. Plus, your offsprings will end up with HIV too

Other people might be in denial, because they know that it will kill them eventually, as there is not yet a cure for AIDS/HIV. To not tell anyone, or your partner that you have AIDS is a foolish foolish thing to do, but it's necessary. Same with STDs, because there are some STD's that WILL make you sterile/infertile if you leave them to run rampant in your body. And if you have an STD, you should tell your partner so you can get tested and then take the proper precautions before sex.

Yeah, and yet one partner might not care for the other ((marriage--> to get money)) Currently, I believe it's a felony to know you have AIDS or an STD that isn't curable and then infect someone else. The reason is, because once you infect someone with AIDS, they're basically dead. They will suffer and suffer, and then die after many years of taking tons of drugs which will kill their systems slowly. The number one reason a person doesn't tell their partner that they have STDs or AIDS? Because they'll be left. Obviously, if he's got herpes on his genitals, and his wife's been faithful, the only place he could have gotten them is from someone else. And the horrible thing about AIDS is that sometimes it takes years for the symptoms to show up, so a person could infect and pass on the virus to many partners in that time. I suppose that for me, the best way is to say "I'll get tested if you get tested, and if you don't get tested, you don't get any sex from me!" If someone is insensitive enough not to get tested either after they've had sex with another person, or before they have sex with you, then they don't deserve to have sex with you.

Rinaqa I want to have a few children of my own and then adopt. Those kids need a home too, right? Yep. smile I've always considered adoption too. Maybe a child from Africa or something, or a Romanian child. I saw a news article on Romanian orphanages when I was like 16, and some of the images from that new article have never left me. That report almost made me cry, the orphanages are so desolate and helpless. So one day I'd like to adopt a Romanian child from an orphanage, or something like that. heart

If we are well enough of in about 10 years then my husband said we could adopt a third child but his stipulation is that we have to be well enough off that we will be able to send out own children to whatever school they desire. I agree with that I would treat an adopted child like my own but until i have one my kid(s eventually) are first and my hubby said he wants me to be able to use my big heart, but he want them to have the best. He also said that if we arent well enough off that we could take on a fosterchild.

jsav666 Sorry i'm going to be an a*****e, and sorry about the following rant. HOLY s**t!!! wtf is up with girls getting into unhealthy relationships with WAY older guys that should be in prison? DONT GO NEAR THEM! most of them are *****. get a ******** STABLE relationship with someone remotely NEAR your age please! Wtf is up with girls getting pregnant as a minor? how the HELL does this happen? also, why the ******** dont they get an abortion. they quintessentially(sp?) screw up your entire life, and they know it dont you? if you are under 17.5, and are pregnant, keeping a baby is STUPID AS HELL. "but i dont want to kill a baby..." suck it up. its not a baby until the 2nd trimester. what about YOUR life, have you ever considered that? YOU MAY DIE (depending on how big you are, hieght and girth wise). To everyone who i have offended and saddened i'm sorry, but i've seen one life ruined by teen pregnancy, i dont want to see another. please respect my plea.
