I'm not saying its a good idea for every family here to have six kids, but to act like a family who wants 4+ kids is draining the world of its resources is so incorrect it's funny.
In what way? Are families with 4+ kids not somehow subject to basic mathematics? If each of those four kids has four of their own, and each of those decides to have four.... That's a lot more kids than if two each had two and so on. To say that the problem of overpopulation is solely that of the developing world is incredibly ignorant. For one thing your average American uses far more resources, on just about every level than does someone in the developing world - even if you live on a totally self-sufficient farm (you dig your own well, septic field, and build your own roads, phone and cable lines? You grow your own flax and spin it into yarn and weave your own cloth?....) , there's zero guarantee that your children will choose the same, low impact lifestyle.
To pretend that the reproductive choices and health care available to women in the US at all relates to those available to women in developing nations is offensive. They're frequently denied the ability to use birth control, when it's even available, and due to a lack of available medical care, they're far more likely to lose children to all sorts of diseases. Your decision large family has every bit as much impact as does large families elsewhere.
But who says that is likely to happen?
That logic doesn't make sense. You could be from a small family (having only 2 sibs) and then decide to have 12 kids. Whereas someone's 6 kids could have 1 kid each and still have less that the kids from the small family had combined.
Isn't it more likely that children raised with a HUGE family (im talking Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar here) will grow up to only have 2 or 3. I believe that Im the person the OP was talking about. I have 5 kids and we are considering a 6th. Both of us are from a smaller family. DH was an only and I have 1 sib.
Ok, so lets say birth control is readily available. What about those who just want to have large families?
Do most people actually get their "formal" pics taken on their wedding day?
We had a photographer, but they were mostly action shots, us kissing, dancing, cutting the cake and of course the ones with family.
However, after the honeymoon we did a shoot that was more of our portraits of our wedding day.
Go for it OP.

I think that making a blanket statement about any group is not right. Like a PP said, alot of drivers are terrible but you may only notice cars sometimes when it is a nice car.

Nice try asshole. A family of 8 in a developing or undeveloped country Uses far fewer resources than a family of 4 in the America.
OP here. If I have 5 kids and I do not "drain" resources (for example large families living self sufficiently on a farm), what is the problem?
You live completely self sufficient on your farm? Your own private water source and sanitizion system? Your own electricity? Your own clothing, fabric, dyes? Where does the runoff from your farm go? Do you have your own air, or is your air shared with non-family members? Will the offspring created by all your children (and their children's children, and their children's children's children, and so forth) all live on your farm forever, all autonomous?
Surely that isn't true, but the whole point of the world is not to have everyone separate. I think we can coexist.

No question. Sorry, boys.
Agree. Even if she was a "meth head" if they don't see drugs or contraband on her they aren't allowed to nearly strip her.

I know about IMDB. I am discussing it here. Is that okay with you?
Its annoying because its never anyone else... always Olivia.
Is it just me or does Liv get kidnapped/held hostage like every season? Also, I like the eps when they actually do police work instead of this man hunt for the person who kidnapped Liv. These episodes are just weird.
YOU MEAN THE AIR CURLER?!

Maybe it is because I would rather/have spent my vacation money on
- have a family trip to bethany to the beach house that is in our family (paid for!).
-Take a trip to a nice hotel for Xmas with the kids in NYC (and go shopping/exploring NY with the kids)
-Go to my cousins damn destination wedding in LA and pay for 4 days in a hotel there and plane tix for 7.
-Take a road trip with a two girlfriends for 2 days Thelma and Louise style
-Pay a nanny for a 3 days/2 nights and go to a 5 star hotel in DC with my husband. Have the time without kids to do fun grown up things and fall in love all over again.
To me those things are more important than making sure we get out of the country. And if you cannot "fathom" that other people have different priorities then you really need to get a grip.
PS. I rather do those things than stand in line at customs.

Im the OP of that one.
NP here. It's not dumb. PP just wanted to know how to do it.
It is not rocket science. You open a new account. You blast an email to your contact list. you set up an 'away alert' in the original account reminding people to email you elsewhere. done. I can't believe that you need to be told this.
Yes, the OP mentioned that there were sites signed up with that email, and she would need to change them all.
