Arkansas couple welcomes 17th child!

This is the kind of thing that drives an environmentalist INSANE. Sure, the baby is cute and all but what are they thinking. They even want to have more! Now, tell me what they are doing to replenish the resources they are hoarding for the equivalent of 8 2-children families! People with common sense are out there unable to conceive, can't adopt for some dumb reason or can't get married. Nature doesn't make sense sometimes. Not sure why this bothers me so much but it does!!!! All the children's names start with "J", these people's DNA is not very desirable. The kids are sharing their parents at 100 divided by 17 = 6% with an expected shift towards the baby which drops that down to 3%. Selfish!!!! If they had adopted fifteen kids, this world would be a better place. Get a hobby, Damn!!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a girl — again — for the Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed their 17th child, and seventh daughter, into the world Thursday.

Jennifer Danielle was born at 10:01 a.m. at Saint Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Ark., the Duggars said in an interview. Jennifer weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and arrived five days after Michelle's due date.

Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more.

"We'd love to have more," Michelle said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. "We love the ruffles and lace."

Jennifer joins the fast-growing Duggar brood, who live in Tontitown in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.
