So who cares if you only read the paragragh. No one forced you to read the article.

Here is a mirror, look in it. See the idiot looking back at you?

Thanks, like the author, my high strung & impatient self often asks “what would Michelle do?” when dealing with misbehaving children. Judging by her kids’ behavior she is probably just as calm and consistent off camera as she is on. How does she do it?!

I would rather listen to her non stop for an hour than spend thirty seconds listening to Obama.

I was thinking the same thing. Getting pregnant is the natural result of sexual intercourse. Particularly by young newlyweds.

Lark Rise to Candleford is great!
I’m a BBC, English-period piece TV series fanatic. Try Cranford also. Lots of famous British actresses in it.
I’m just amazed at how these folks (the Duggars) can raise nice kids and SO many of them! Yikes!

LOVE the mom. Michelle’s tone is always loving - always.
It’s reflected by her kids.
Harmony WORKS.

I totally agree with the premise that the author is writing about in this article. For several months there my wife and I were watching the tv series “John & Kate Plus Eight”. They seemed “normal” enough, but (now) pitted against the Duggars, the John & Kate Plus Eight (now Kate Plus Eight) family seems SO dysfunctional! We noticed how material Kate and her children are vs. the spiritual side of the Duggars. Like night and day.

I knew I'd find you on a Duggar thread!

For whatever reason, I've been getting up well before 4am lately, and TLC is consistently running the very early episodes...it's been fun watching all the chirren grow up.

We don't have cable/sat, so I know only what I read on FR or in People standing in the Walmart line. However, I don't see why viewers wouldn't enjoy watching nice people who have a good time together.

NotyhstarMom: “how quickly and strongly the media influences kids”

I think it’s only fair to point out how vulnerable people of all ages are to the potential of the media’s influence, whether it’s intentional or not.

When I was a kid, I hated commercials and still have to laugh in disgust at how advertisers must have to hope that consumers are as gullible as they’re needed to be.

Unless you’re talking about a product like “Life Alert” or something similar, how can any of that bullsh*t be taken seriously? You almost have to be a willing participant. Con-artists have a word for suckers like that and that word is “mark”. In their world, a good consumer is a responsive consumer. How do you think we ended up with Obama in the WH???

You’re right. Obama was marketed to the masses, and a voting majority fell for the ad campaign, hook, line and sinker. The rest of us were astonished that someone with so few qualifications was suddenly President of the United States. It still boggles my mind. It’s amateur hour in the White House by our first affirmative action president.

Again, anyone who claims marketing doesn’t affect people is seriously mistaken. A brain works on what it takes in. How can it be anything other than a product of the experiences it receives? Feed a mind CBS, NBC, and ABC, and it receives a steady diet of Democrat propaganda. It’s like junk food for the brain, only worse!
