Since the story about the dude with 30 kids is so popular, I figured I'd pose a related question to the men of the org...

IF YOU COULD...if you had the mojo and the resources and the willing partners...would you go ahead and father thirty children or more?

Now, let me add here that my late uncle was one of those dudes. When he died in 1999, his oldest son was in his thirties, and his youngest child was 6 months old, and there are an excess of thirty cousins in between.

However, unlike the douchebag who's begging the courts to give him relief with child support...my late uncle had a way with making money and all of his kids were reasonably taken care of. This was in Honduras, so bear in mind that with a couple of thousand dollars, you could buy a house for your girlfriend.

But, even if I was rolling in millions of dollars, I don't think that I could have so many kids. The three that I have are a handful enough. If I ever meet someone special and she wants kids, I wouldn't be opposed to having another kid, or two. But I can't imagine anything more than that. I can't imagine having so many kids that you maybe forget their names or even how old they are (not to mention having to keep track with birthdays and graduations and shit).

What about you???

[Not to be offensive or insensitive to our female orgers, I purposely omitted female orgers from this question because...well simply put...no woman's dumb enough to have 30 damned kids.]

No.

Not only would the share of time, energy, deserved one-on-one attention and finance for each mother and child be further splintered with each subsequent birth, but I'm inclined to think there are far too many of us humans running around screwing things up as it is.

Women, would you date a man with 30+ kids?

Clearly there are women that would. Well...date. Fuck. Same thing, right?

Dude... that guy didn't WANT any kids.

Do you think? I'm pretty sure this guy doesn't mention he's got 20, 23, 27, etc. kids when trying to get with a new woman.

I got five words for that:

HELL

TO

THE

FUCKIN'

NAW!

Shit I don't even want ONE...

Please, those women got tricked into thinking he was single and childless.

If I had kids I'd have to share the hella good banana bread with butterscotch chips that I just made. Fuck that!

Yeah the babies want your food as soon as they see you fixing something. That's what my little nephew does all the time. I wouldn't even share my ice cream cone with a kid if I had one.

Yes, of course.

If I was really rich, could easily afford and provide for them, as well as have nannys, tutors, etc. like royalty, I think it would be great.

Within a couple of generations there would be thousands of imagos planting seed, and that sort of turns me on.

As serious as I can be, and some of you know that's pretty serious, I don't believe ANYBODY should have more than two kids. A chance to have a boy and a girl. Then knock that shit off already.

Shit even having one is enough. But two is definitely a maximum. That just adds to a lot of shit. I see my family sometimes especially my aunt and her kin and I wonder how they think having 100 kids run around in a three-bedroom house is cute.

Everytime I get done visiting my brother's family as I drive off I cross myself and thank god.

Let's be real, here - every straight dude on this planet, would love to be able to fuck enough women to make 30+ kids.

They just wouldn't want to deal with the actual result of all that fucking. This is a no-brainer.

I think that's less of a deterrent for most guys, than you think...

Depends on "what guys" you mean. It ain't like we're monolithic... I'm sure there's a good group that don't give a good goddamn but that's always running the risk of generalization to me.

Okay, yeah - true, true.

I still think as many as 60 percent, would gladly risk it anyway though...

It would have to depend on how easy it was to raise the other 29 kids....I guess.

YES AND ALL OF THEM WOULD BE NAMED BAD 1

and i'd try to get as many of them in the same

school as i possibly could and the same classes,

and i would have all they mommas join the PTA

so they could vote in as many family pic nics as

possible so when they had 'daddy donut day'

i would get a whole box or two of the freshest

crulers that you ever tasted and wouldn't share

with none of you hater ass people because y'all

always manage to get the kids names wrong,

i mean REALLY how hard is it to remember BAD 1

not BAD ONE, BAD 1 daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

i'm not a guy, and hell i don't even want to have one kid, i would rather die before i make a baby. it is my religion lol.

Here's a little secret from a father of two....

I don't even like kids....

Can't stand 'em....they break all your shit, put greasy fingerprints on everything, and are loud as hell. I like adult conversations without interruptions and being able to do what I want to do whenever I want to do it.

So, my answer is HELL NO!

P.S. I love my two kids.

I just pictured Jodie Foster in Anna and the King. I loved that movie Chow Yung Fat was fine as wine in that. Back in the day, when I watched that movie I must admit the whole time I sat there thinking, "King Mongkut could get it. TODAY.

that is, if he didn't have so many damned kids

I guess there are broads that are fine with popping out all those babies or being with someone in that position, though. Me however? Well, it took me until recently just to get used to a man having a pet, let alone a kid or aaarg, 30 of 'em

Wow, its saddens me that so many people got some real ill-behaved children, gives most kids a bad rep.

I trained my kids so that they don't wear me the hell out if I am around them all day. They really are a joy to be around. I enjoy my time around them and so do other adults.

Its funny to me that other people are shocked that they like being around my kids too. My boyfriend likes my kids and he tells me all the time he likes my kids more than he likes his own. My kids don't bother him like most kids do. He told me that is why he decided to 'keep me around'.

So... hey, I wanted TWO children, my 3rd was a surprise, and I am glad I have her but hell if I want anymore, they are a LOT of work regardless of how well behaved they are.

So I see why some adults (who realize that training kids the proper way they should be/grow is major freggin' work) don't want any kids at all.

This world needs more adults that take parenting seriously enough to not want to jump into parenthood easily and treat it as if raising children comes naturally. It doesn't.

only if

a) I was a millionare, for the child support and other stuff

b) if I had those 30 kids with 30 different women

That would make his case all that much more pathetic.

We've all been there...had the choice to pull out but kept on going...30 kids later, it's not a "whoops" anymore, it's a conscious decision.
