FWIW, My grandparents had 1 biologigal children in a 4 bedroom house and they are all amazing welll rounded human beings, and on top of that they (my grandparents) have adopted 16 children... At this tim they have a 5 yr old a 14 yr old and a 15 year old.... Not saying it is this way with her, but some people ARE meant for large families, and constantcy....

I have read the article, but still stick by my comment above.... I have to point out that the 16 adopted children had medical/and or MAJOR emotional issues (hence why they were placed in foster care).

Well, if Gloria Allred says so, it must be so.

Truf, it's just J's way. Don't let it get to you. He likes it when it does.

Well, if Gloria Allred says so, it must be so. And that adds to this discussion exactly how?????? If you're taking a cheap shot, why? What are you basing it on? Has Allred some track record you think people should know about? If you've got something to contribute I'm sure we'd all like to hear it. I've said before that I don't care for the media frenzy surrounding all this - and Allred is as big a media [censored] as any of them. Earlier you were ready to prohibit women from having kids when you didn't think they needed to. Now you're ready to take children away from a woman based on the always reliable, fair, in-depth, and never sensationalized reporting of Nancy Grace (or whoever it is of comparable character that is reporting on this). Truf, it's just J's way. Don't let it get to you. He likes it when it does. Oh, no! My secret is out! Have a nice Sunday, Bugs.

I didn't decide you wanted to prohibit women from having kids, I read it. We've discussed it already. I love the comparison between advocacy or opposition to a general economic "stimulus" and removing children from a particular home, by the way. I think that's called a category error.
Look, you're free to post opinions about how many children parents should have and how many this one should have and whether some parents ought to be allowed by society to be parents at all. And I'm free, as I understand the rules of this forum, to disagree. Please advise if that's incorrect. Thanks.

For the nth time, she can have all she wants. I don't think taxpayers should have to foot the bill. If that includes a welfare limit stating we're not paying over x number of kids, then so be it. Somebody's got to have the chutzpah to draw a line in the sand or the crazies will overrun us all. I love the comparison between advocacy or opposition to a general economic "stimulus" and removing children from a particular home, by the way. I think that's called a category error. really. I'm using government intervention to save something. Banks, babies, whatever.

I don't need to go back and re-read it; I've read it more than once, already. You can say I'm spinning your words all you want, but they're out there, and you have yet to say you mis-spoke. If you did, that's fine - we all do from time to time. I don't want to argue for the sake of arguing, Truff. And I don't have any reason to take a cheap shot at you that I'm aware of. I was just disagreeing with a few things you said and the general approach you've taken with regards to this story, not trying to be disagreeable.

I haven't really followed this but in one interview that I saw a bit of, the chick was kind of cute. Perhaps there's a chance for AG, plenty of tax write offs.

As reported on tmz.com:
OctoMom is used to having multiple people inside of her at once -- and now one porn company is willing to shell out big bucks to harness that skill on film.
Major porn distributor Vivid Entertainment has just fired off a letter to Nadya Suleman, offering her 1 million bucks to star in a skin flick of her own. Vivid is willing to go one step further, by telling us they'll give her family full medical and dental insurance if she becomes a "contract girl"... meaning she'll have to do multiple videos.
No word if Octo will take them up on the offer -- but she definitely needs the scratch for a down payment on a house...

There is also another porn company that will give her all the diapers she needs if she turns down that porn offer. She's sweating bullets now- it will be interesting to see if the babies come home- the house they live in is not up to standards for the babies to come home. Also, isn't it midnight tonight when the offer expires for the Angels in Waiting to care for the tribe? The video on Radar.com is pretty disgusting of mom and daughter talking. Take a good look at octomom and her facial expressions- she knows she is on camera and she plays it for all it is worth.

These women are making big bucks for all of the TV time and interviews they're doing. So what's happening to that money?
I saw one soundbite last night talking about sending the babies to foster care because of the conditions and lack of care.

...by Vivid Video to star in a pornographic film. Fortunately, VV requires all stars to use condoms...other than John Bobbit, I don't know if any other "media star" that has been offered the same by VV has taken them up on the offer.
