[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps memory has deserted me, but I don't remember back when the Bethesda family with the triplets -- their house burned down because they had no smoke detectors -- I believe it was 2009 -- anyway, I don't remember a long discussion of their decision to have triplets, IVF, and so forth, and their other sexual practices.  It just didn't seem relevant to their tragedy.[/quote]

But that's BETHESDA. They DESERVE our compassion because they're from here. We don't care about rural folks from Louisiana. It cuts into our manufactured entertainment of making fun of them for their plight in life. Don't stop our fun now with your rational arguments. [/quote]

If the deaths of their children could have been prevented by a simple installation of fire alarms, of course they are just as irresponsible as this woman.  However, there is a difference in making 5 children which 3 or more men and bringing them into poverty, and bringing 3 into a stable home though IVF.  Are you really that obtuse?  [/quote]

No, you are the obtuse one, plus some.  Would it have made a difference if the woman had one child in Lousiana with the same outcome.  Puh-leze, you are making excuses for your hypocrisy.  [/quote]

Of course it would have made a difference.  one child would be dead instead of 4 (not that one is any less valuable than all 4 together).  One unplanned pregnancy into poverty is a mistake, 5 is a lifestyle.  And I'm saying this as an unwed, single mother.  [b]She obviously wasn't fit to have them or they wouldn't be dead[/b]. [/quote]

Yes you are so right.  And that mom in Connecticut wasn't fit to be a mom, or her children would not be dead.  How about that mom in Bethesda whose estranged husband [b]kicked[/b] their son.  She picked the wrong partenr.  Darn, she obviously wasn't fit to be a mom, otherwise her son would not be dead.  Do you hear how ridicuolus you sound.  Perhaps she was not a fit parent, but it has nothing to do with her being impovished.  Or, only educated women with a HHI over a certain amount allowed to be single parents.  Perhaps you are not fit to be a parent.  Who would knowinly raise a fatherless child.  See how judgmental people can render a person's decison, you unfit parent, you.  [/quote]

Hahaha....I'm willing to make you a bet that she wasn't working.  In fact, I'm willing to go even further and bet that she hasn't been working in quite some time.  Which means that the children (and the mom) were living off of child support (if their fathers aren't in jail) or welfare.  Now, before you get all hysterical about how i don't agree with people being on welfare, which couldn't be farther from the truth, consider that she had 5 kids at 26.  That leaves her almost 25 years (give or take) to have more children that someone else is going to be paying for.  So yeah, having that many at her age in her situation was extremely stupid.  But let's say she was just poor and trying to be a good mom to all of them.  Would her 2 year old be wondering the streets at midnight???  Now, call me crazy, and overly harsh, but that just screams unfit to me.  Yes, judging is ok sometimes! it really, really is!!!!  And when you have as much information about me as we do about this lovely lady, then judge away.  Until then I suggest you cool off and THINK!!![/quote]

You missed the point.  And what is with the hahaha, it is laughable to you that children are dead, or that the woman was possibly a SAHM living on welfare.  [/quote]
