No, but then no one is going to buy them a farmhouse,
so that's a pointless line of argument.

what would be your suggestion?
genuinely curious. I don't have any ideas

Give them all the support they're entitled to,
if they're causing constant trouble to the neighbourhood then they should be moved. Obviously that'll be a problem because there aren't many suitable properties.

but there aren't any simple solutions. That's not my point, my point is that saying "SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!" is stupid especially when you start thinking of them as 14 people rather than 1 family.

SILENCE YOUR VOICE OF REASON!
you are, of course, right. As there is no law saying how many kids you can have, then they are entitled to the same as everyone else.

She should still be kicked in the twat though.

I would be suprised if the couple are "normal"
in terms of IQ or mental illness. You can't stop people having kids though, you just have to make sure that they don't mistreat them, which I'm sure the council are doing.

Having a lot of children doesn't mean that you will sadistically beat them to death.
don't be silly.

obviously
it means you can spread the abuse between them, rather than concentrating it all on one

I was insinutating that the council will not be keeping a close eye on them.

I wasn't arguing.
I was making a fatuous remark.

(PsychoChomp, Fri 11 Dec 2009, 9:28, Reply)

Yes fatty.
