A lot unwanted kids out there....they need to set a better example, because people are sheep and won't be able to think for themselves on the issue (we need a poutrage smilie...)

4. Because they didn't get the memo from DU's anti-breeder brigade.
Agreed, too many people are operating under the delusion that they are capable of running their own damn lives and making their own decisions.

6. I personally think two kids is one too many. Nadya Suleman would be proud.

and then opted for expensive fertility treatments and popped out octoplets instead. :hide: :evilgrin:

But hey, they donated to the orphanage to make it right, right?

11. Is donating to an orphanage like buying carbon credits after a long car ride?

12.  I agree. These vain selfish people who want their "own" kids should burn in hell
Edited on Sun Apr-12-09 06:39 PM by cherish44
What's wrong with adopting an orphan? Oh yeah their precious DNA is too important to not pass on! What a bad example they're setting.

16. They didn't add to it. Following ZPG - they replaced themselves.
If they'd had a third, they would be adding to it.
