Michelle Duggar Says Overpopulation Is a Lie

Interesting viewpoint. I know P&CE loves the Duggars 
Re: Michelle Duggar Says Overpopulation Is a Lie
Go to this site and it'll tell you how the world's population can fit in Jacksonville, FL and that if you give every family of 4 a 50'x50' plot, the whole world could fit in Montana!
Crazy.
"The idea of overpopulation is not accurate because, really, the entire population of the world, if they were stood shoulder to shoulder, could fit in the city limits of Jacksonville," Duggar told the Christian Broadcasting Network. "So if you realize that aspect of it, we realize we're not anywhere near being overpopulated."
What the whaaaaaa???
It's not an interesting viewpoint. It's a stupid one. Just like J'chelle. It's what you get when you learn at the school of the dining room table.
And there's no damn way they conserve resources. They use disposable diapers ffs. There was one ep that said they create something like 8 bags of trash a day.
Holy cripes she's an idiot.
What does standing shoulder to shoulder in Jacksonville have to do with anything? And where did she get this info?
my read shelf:
That's it people! Buy only used cars and shop at thift stores and Voila! all the ills of overpopulation are solved.
You nevermind about all the food it takes to feed my 384798574 kids, or diapers, or paper plates and such.
I can see believing this, if I had a clown car vagina.

<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home DLol. Then again, the population should remain where it's at now due to the immediate suicides.
Are there any realistic versions of this same idea? For comparison's sake?
Well, using paper plates is probably more environmentally friendly than heating up the water to wash 346 loads of dishes each day.
Where they live, it's actually better to use the water to wash the plates. Creating paper plates also uses water and other resources. If they were in an area where water wasn't plentiful, they might be better off using paper plates, but they're not, so the point is moot.
And also eats meat 2-3 times a day.

Yeah. I've stopped trying to point out the inconsistencies in her ideas. Of course, I'm guilty of those, too.
When you live standing shoulder to shoulder with your boss the commute's a doddle. Of course, space to get your laptop out or squat to *** is a little bit of an issue.
Hey watch your emoticons!
Thanks, pixy. That was thoughtful of you to decide what I believe and share it with everyone.
I would tell you what I actually believe, as I have before on this topic, but I doubt that you would listen or understand anyways. Why bother?
It's pretty easy to figure out. If the cross-sectional area of someone's shoulders is 60cm by 40cm, that's 0.24 m2. Multipled by 6.8 billion is 1,641km2, and Jacksonville is 2,292 km2.
And since carrying capacity is probably a liberal elitist theory, let's all go have babies!
This made me wince a bit.
When I use that phrase it has specific connotations for the type of isolated curriculum and buddy teaching the Duggars and other quiverfullers use. I can see how that would be offensive in this context, but it's not intended to insult everyone who schools at home.
If you're not leaving your 12 year old to teach your kids and using anti-science propoganda curriculum, I don't judge.
That's right. A small portion of meat. I eat leftovers from the meal I cooked the night before for lunch.
I guarantee you that even eating meat 2-3 times a day I consume less food than most of you that don't in a given day. And my meat is all raised right down the road from me.
Thank you for clarifying
And sorry for assuming.
