Comments on: Octomom Gets Food Stamps, Disability

Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not supporting abortion and/or population control, but having a large family just because you can afford it is still irresponsible. I wonder how many people could afford it before the economy started sucking fumes? 3-4 children is a gray area, but I would certainly consider 5 or more children (plus 1 or more parents) a large family.

With advanced medical technologies, people are living far longer, and they’re having more children then they used to. The simple truth is, our world is finite in size and resources, and our societies require these resources to function and to provide the things we need. Without the means to replace these technologies with more sustainable ones, we should exercise care.

What happens when there is no room left, and the number of mouths to feed exceeds what can be produced? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2008 alone there were 20 births to every 8 deaths per 1000 people all around the world (About 6,765,500,000 people). What kind of world will my grandchildren and great-grandchildren be born into?

This is a matter of simple logic: Living space/resources are finite, every year more people are born than die, if the trend continues we will eventually run out of living space/resources.

It’s not a religious issue, or an ethnic/culture issue, and it certainly isn’t a Republican/Democrat issue. This is about taking responsibility and being aware of what is going on in the world around us, taking time to consider the consequences of our actions and how they will effect future generations.

this woman is a lazy pig i have 12 herniated disc in my lower spine as well as a pinched sciatic nerve in my right leg all documented by the rothman inst. of Philadelphia all work related injuries i also on the 29th of january 2009 had heart surgery and as soon as my cardiac surgeon sayes i can i will be going back to work i am the manager and head technician at an automible repair shop so i really work and work hard to support my family i at one time after my back injury and back surgery with documentation by 4 highly respected and well known orthopedic surgeons applied for SSI in pennsylvania but was turned down now i know from speaking with lawyers it is common pratice for SSI to turn everyone down initially and after you reapply you will be approved but i felt it better to return to work as i felt i was able as long as i took medication so i will be returned to work and plan to keep workin as long as i can. it is people like this pig that makes it so difficult for people who are truely in need of SSI to get it the only reason she has back problems is from carrying that belly around from all the IVF babies and she used the money from SSI to get the second litter IVF instead of what it was intended that being take care of the children you already have

Difference here – and about many other issues here.
1) I don’t think anyone mentioned abortion – more that this woman should have never been impregnated with octuplets. This woman has serious problems – and for whatever reason 14 children are going to be the taxpayers problems for generations to come.
2) Jon & Kate were/are married, both employed and paid out of their own medical insurance for the two procedures to have children. They knew that they weren’t going to keep having children. And the gross multiple was not planned by them intentionally. And there is also a difference between a deal negoiated between TLC and the Goslins and the scam foisted upon the taxpayers by this leech masquerading as a ‘mother’.
3) Religion does play a part with both the Goslins and the Duggers (also both are married couples and both are paying for their children and their upbringings even if you find it distasteful that they added to their incomes by deals with Cable TV. Ms Suleman appears to have found a niche with disability and children increasing her welfare payments and now has taken it to obscene heights which (once again) the taxpayers are going to be paying for generations to come (somewhat like the Generational Theft Act passed today). And I have not read a whit about her religious convictions, proof that she refuses to get married that she has none.

Through Drudge this AM I posted a comment on the wellwhishers/donation site set up for this scam artist extordinaire – that I am praying for these 14 children who are the innocent victims of a petty, immature, narcissistic woman whose only mission in life is to make herself ‘feel’ better.

I wrote up a little summary about this case on a true crime blog I contribute to:

There is another woman “impregnated” by the same doctor—a 49-year old medically indigent woman who is carrying four babies. The insanity never ends …

good catch, cf.

Futher evidence that these people actually hate themselves as much as they hate us.

Politicians have taught them to be equal opportunity haters.

She is just a welfare elitist.

I think it will be interesting to see if the VA hospital where she worked and began receiving “disablity” payments from because she hurt her “back”(at the same time she was getting fertility treatments), will seek some of that money back.

If you look at before and after pictures of the woman it seems as if she has treated herself to a Hollywood style makeover:

“In her view these are just payments made for people with legitimate needs and are not, in her view, welfare . . . .”

Did she just trash welfare recipients as people not having legitimate needs?

I don’t know what to think.

As I understand it, TLC just bought them a large home in Pa. I am a bit of a pop culture junkie but the thought of children on a reality TV show just doesn’t sit well with me.

If she loves her first 6 kids so much, then why is her mother taking care of them?

The woman is mentally disturbed.

Sane people don’t use the lives of 8 children to raise money.

And sadly, those children are highly likely to end up mentally disturbed themselves.

Of course money is just paper….when you’re not the one who has to pay it.
