1. Mothers for suicide religious bombers?

Weird people.

[DRoseDARs]

2. Vagina: It's not a clown car? BWHAHAHAH!!

Awesome inspirational spoof.

And to have children for the sake of being nothing more than a baby factory instead of for the sake of having more children to love and nurture? Sick. Financial ruin needs to come to those kinds of parents and their children need to be removed and placed in homes where they won't be regarded as mass produced cannon fodder.

3. Which is why we don't want a pure democracy in this country! Unbelievable.

4. I truly hate women like that

It's not bad enough they do nothing but f*ck and spurt babies all over the place, then they train the resulting children to be neanderthals like they are.

What's going to happen to this world when those drones come of age?

11. I feel sorry for them

stuck in a fear based religion, oppressed by every male around them, and told their only purpose in life is joyless fucking and childbirth. That's what women in the developing world are stuck with, too, and they're just as deserving of our sympathy and for the same reason.

I'm always sorry that some of my sisters are in full display of Stockholm Syndrome, that they've been reduced by everyone around them to things that produce an infant a year, that they'll be dried up and worn out by the age of thirty, that all they have as a positive is permission to hate the rest of us.

I tend to hate mindsets and systems, not the people stuck in them. I loathe the patriarchal entitlement to the "services" of women, to the notion that children are first owned and then launched as weapons against the rest of the people in this world.

The men get pity and contempt. The women get sympathy.

16. on the upside, at least some of those kids are gonna revolt!

5. Its an unlclean mix

of twisted religion and NAZI doctrine.

6. A quiver is a holder for weapons to shoot at your enemy.

These quiverful parents obviously regard their children as weapons to hurl at the enemy.

This is why abortion and birth-control are so bad. They deprive the state of children to sacrifice to Moloch in their oil and water wars.

7. I guess they figure if you've got a lot of 'em

you won't miss any single one of them too much if you lose 'em in this war or that war.

"Kill all you want. We'll make more."

[Crim_n al]

8. And, if the wars ever stop, the kids will still come in handy

as slaves for the upper-class.

9. Well, I have a large family, but...

My children are being taught to be independent thinkers, as well as to be respectful to those who don't agree with them.

I often get lumped into the "quiverful" crowd, especially when I take all eight of my children out at once. However, anyone listening to our spirited discussions of politics and other assorted topics soon realize that I don't want my children to be meek. I actively engage them in discussions aimed at helping them solidify their beliefs. I don't want them to follow the crowd or to believe a certain way without being able to tell me WHY they believe what they do. If they can tell me why a certain belief is important to them, then I respect that.

I'm doing my part to counteract the "quiverful" movement!

10. One divorce or case of hubby up and disappearing will change

many minds as they watch the ones left behind struggle to live.

I talked once with a woman who told me how she had "hated" all those feminists and women's rights activists. Why didn't they just leave her alone and let her have her happy marriage, house, car and kids without "guilting" her about being a stay at home mom? Her well connected husband raided the bank accounts, divorced her, took the house she could't afford to pay and took custody of her children since she had no way to support them. First place she called? Uh, huh...women's rights organizations looking for legal support.

I expect the same thing will happen with the quiverful crowd after they deal with a divorce or two.

[Warpy]

12. Nope, those wingnut churches will support them

just the way the Nazis supported single women giving birth in Hitler's Germany, having soldiers for the Reich.

[Cerridwen]

13. For their sake, I hope you're right.

I've seen too many cases in which that didn't happen. The wife is found to be "in sin" or some such malarkey, they side against the wife and deny her support and therefore deny her family support. They are frequently used as an "example" of what happens to wives who don't "behave."

The remaining wives are then terrorized by husbands and church elders.

[Warpy]

14. "Support" consists of boxes of canned goods

delivered around the holidays.

You didn't think they were going to SUPPORT her, did you?

[Cerridwen]

15. Yikes. I missed your point. D'oh!

No, I don't think they'd support their own beyond a point. Especially if one is an uncomfortable example of what "could" happen.

17. those freaks were building a house on the learning channel

ug. what a life.
