I agree... Humans were not meant to have that many children, I think it's rather irresponsible.


I like the jumper tradition, and really they aren't all that bad.. I'd wear one, (as long as everyone else was too HEHE)

The Duggars ARE definitely NOT part of mainstream America but four of the girls aren't wearing jumpers in the picture that was on this thread. No need to associate a Longwood Tradition with the First Fundie Family. Longwood is a public university funded by the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is not a religious school in any way, shape, or form.

wow, talk about overthinking & tenuous connections...

OTW simply meant that when she hears the word "jumper" she thinks of something that fundie-freaks (such as the Duggars) make their kids wear. Her comment had nothing to do with Longwood or its religious affiliation or lack of same. I mean, I wasn't offended, and my sorority actually has a chapter there.

Well it used to be relatively common even in the USA, but a lot of children didn't live to maturity.

Big families are not possible for a lot of people for physical and economic reasons . . . even assuming they had the desire.
