Michelle Duggar Pregnant: How Long Until The Duggars Take Over The World?

Huffington Post

The Duggar family of TLC fame just announced that they are expecting their 19th child. Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar currently have 18 children ranging from 0 to 21 years old and a grandchild on the way, making it pretty clear that their kids intend to follow in their pregnancy footsteps.

The Duggars live in northwest Arkansas and can be seen on TLC'####### "17 Kids and Counting" "18 Kids and Counting" "19 Kids and Counting." Assuming they make it to 20 kids and stop, and assuming each of their kids have the same amount of children (which are both big 'ifs') how long until those with Duggar blood take over America?

After the next generation of Duggars breeds at this rate, there will be 400 members of the clan (not counting the husbands and wives that married in). The third generation will have 8,000 members, the fourth will have 160,000, and the fifth will have 3.2 million...more than five times the population of Vermont. This would mean...

* One in every hundred people in America would be a Duggar.

* There would be more Duggars than Latvians.

* There would almost be enough Duggars to have one in every square mile of America.

* If all the Duggars earned $30,000 annually, they would collect $96 billion a year before taxes, enough to bailout AIG and have enough left to buy Marvel Comics three times over.

* If all the Duggars were armed there would be more than enough of them to defeat the North Korean and Russian armies combined.

* There would be more Duggars than Muslims in America.

* There would be more Duggars than residents of America's 21 least populous states.

Of course it would take the Duggar family at least 100-200 years to breed this much, and the number of Muslims, Iowans, and Americans will also grow. These statistics require an amazing amount of hypotheticals, they are just meant to give you an idea of how fast a family can expand when they start having kids young and keep going!

wow.. and we are supposed to applaud them? someone needs to get her tubes tied.

[Heracles 417]

She's a freak who is hiding under religion.

I thought I saw something about this behavior; that is, women who get pregnant for attention or something like that.

If I keep agreeing with haza, I might just have to kill myself. so stop making sense goshdarnit!

[Penguin_ie 5,993]

I see nothing wrong with what they are doing. I wouldn't want that many kids, but then, why should we judge her or, conversely, those who do not want any kids at all? They are not on welfare, their kids are doing great, mother and babies are healthy.

[Amby 490]

wow! I wonder what her doctor says? seriously she's going to kill herself!

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Yeah... and they 'prostitute' their kids on TV weekly. I hate that #######. A reality show when you are 3 and everyone knows who you are, what you eat.... it is sick. My opinion.

Well I hope they are not using the it's Gods will excuse.

Some people get pregnant because they enjoy it. I saw something about it but barely read it. Ironically at the time I thought of this mother.

They would be if they did not get proceeds from their TV show. The father(since he's the only one working) cannot support that many children on his salary. I think he's a realtor or something, right? So IMO, its not OK to have that many children if you cannot support them. And having a gagillion kids so that you can have a TV show and support your kids off the proceeds is not OK. Similarly, I don't agree w/ the octopussy's attempts at getting her own show, or the Kate and Jon TV shows.

does she even feel the births anymore?

Part of the Duggar claim to fame is they were financially solvent before they were famous.

I still think it's mega-weird though to have THAT many kids in this day and age. There's not even a 'good' excuse (like 150 years ago) that they need all that free labor to tend the crops and cows.
