Still wondering how I bashed the Duggars...

Re: Still wondering how I bashed the Duggars...
I don't think you did, some people are just overly sensitive. I think Michelle Duggar is crazy and disturbing and yes I have personally met her.
I just have to wonder...I am majorly freaked about the one baby we are building right now....
Once you have 18, do you think about that anymore? Or, do you just sort of...have em and go? I don't know anything about these people, but I can see where too much of a good thing is still too much.
I agree, I personally dont care for her or her husband. I think it is wrong to push raising children and running a household onto other children because you yourself cannot handle all of your responsibilities. Also, I understand having religion in your life, but when you keep your kids from the real world around them, that is going to backfire on you when they go out on their own. And they also seem to think that men have seniority over women.
i like the show
And in the state of the world today, this is EXACTLY the kind of thinking we should push... [eye roll] Hello? The 1800's called. They want their philosophies back. Yeah, so they can do away with them too, 'cause they are obviously idiotic.
Sorry. Hit a nerve. Rant over.
Carry on.
Not gonna lie ... I love the show and was SORELY disappointed that Josh and Anna went with Mackenzie instead of Melanie (my name) for the next baby Duggar.
I saw your post below. You most certainly did not bash Mrs.Duggar. Is it wrong to say someone has been capable of producing many more positive pregnancy tests than we may ever in our life? I don't think so.
And for the record, not that I was asked, I do think she is crazy. I have reasons and I will stick to them. JMO
I was amused, but I also think the Duggars are strange. I do watch the show, though, but it's a sick fascination kind of thing.

Oh, don't worry about it. You didn't say anything inappropriate.
It doesn't take much for people around here to get their panties in a bunch.

You most certainly didn't bash the duggars, you were simply stating a fact.
My mother taught me a very important lesson in politics a bit back, and I think it fits well here. And it is that people don't need you to defend them. Everyday bad things are said about people and nothing happens. So there is no need to get defensive and upset over something that doesn't even effect you.
Yeah, I wasn't offended. I thought it was accurate.
I'm not going to have 18 children, but she does. So she'll see more positive pee sticks than me! That's not being judgmental.
I've heard that they don't rely on public assistance programs to raise their children. If this is true than kuddos to them.
I am personally enjoying the fact that the person who called you out on it isn't responding.
The Duggars don't, and never had, ANY type of debt. They've always paid in full with cash. He has several businesses he makes money off of and I'm sure they get paid a ton and get a ton of free stuff through the show. I don't watch it, I read an article on them once. I refuse to partake in this reality show crap and think we're going to end up seeing more people like the Octomom pop up.

Yes they have zero debt. They use the show. Good for them.
That still doesn't negate the quiverful movement or the fact that they have 18 kids.
You said absolutely nothing wrong. All you said was that she will have more than a few positive HPTs. It was true and in no way catty either. So, don't worry about it.
