My wife and I recently attended a sports banquet for one of our kids' sports teams at a local restaurant. It was one of those events that I wanted to go to about as much as I wanted to get three teeth pulled. But my wife assured me it would be fun. I didn't believe her but I came anyway.
We've gone to so many of these things as my five kids are on at least three sports teams. All the kids sat together at a long table and all the parents sat at another table with the coaches. I have a theory about sports teams, the worse a team, the more coaches it has. And this team had lots of coaches.
We were seated with about eight coaches and some parents we didn't really know.
So what's the first thing someone we don't really know will bring up as a conversation starter? Well, it's the only thing they know about us which is that we have five kids. This one coach said he knew it was us when we arrived because he saw all five of our kids walking in. "That could only be the Archbolds," he laughed.
The mom directly across from me, who I didn't really know and hadn't seen at many games, leaned in conspiritorially and asked, "Who has five children? I'd kill myself if I had that many kids."
Dopey me, I actually felt embarrassed for her. I figured she couldn't hear that well and didn't know who they were talking about and would regret her comment when she learned it was the man and woman sitting directly across from her.
I shouldn't have worried. The coach seemed flummoxed, pointed at us, and then quickly engaged in a conversation on the other side of the table.

Mother had 4 brothers and 3 sisters, farm family. I just now realized WHY I’m an only child... The guy who used to live across the street, his mama had 16 kids. Oy!
Lady in our old church back in the '80s, was the youngest of I think 20. Her folks died when she was young, and she was raised by her oldest brother.
Michigan farm family.
In that case, don’t let the dog watch Sharknado 2. lol.
I am an Irish-twin. One sister is eleven months younger than me. I am one of twelve. My Mum had 10 boys, 2 girls.
I wish I had more kids...........I have three
Five is a nice number. Many Americans go for the number two.
Crap happens. Two is a precarious number.
Brother has 6. SIL has 5. Friend nearby has 5. Another friend has 15.
why do so many of that group look poed
Easter at Grandma's house. What do you expect?
The majority will be American by definition and they will be Hispanic American. They have already won the demographic war and you can be grateful it was without bloodshed. You may as well learn Spanish to help you and any children and grandchildren to adapt and get along with the change. The men and women who could have produced a different outcome already chose otherwise so that point of history has passed. It was not political; it was men and women deciding their pleasure was more important than raising large families. Fornication, contraception, and abortion were, and are, the choices.

Ben Franklin was the 15th out of 17 children!
Self-loathing? HA!!
I don't want "white" people...I want "AMERICAN PEOPLE".
Do you not want that?"
OK, I will take your troll bait. I am not sure where in my earlier post you gleaned that I only want White people to reproduce. I did say, however, that I would like to see White people reproducing more in order to at least replace losses such that we remain the majorities in majority White nations.
The fact is that non-white peoples are reproducing at a far greater rate than White people, which will lead to non-white people overtaking the White majorities in what are currently majority White nations. It is unfortunate if this makes anyone uncomfortable, but I do not subscribe to the current cultural trend among leftist pundits to discount the importance of White people disappearing from the globe due to decreasing birthrates. They use statements like, "So what if America becomes a little browner? What's the big deal? We're all Americans."
That may well be so, but I do not think many White people, upon spending a millisecond of thought on the subject, are comfortable with the idea of being bred out of existence. I know for a fact that I am not and I am not afraid to say it.
Further, no one is saying, "You know, those African nations are too dark. We need to start importing White Americans and Europeans. So what, if Africa becomes a little lighter? They're still Africans."
No one is saying, "You know, we need to import more Africans into southeast Asia. So what if Asia is a little darker? They're all still Asians. What does it matter?"
Only majority White nations get this treatment. Why is that? I am only pointing out what most people are afraid to say.
Tom and Elen are 17 months apart, Sally and Pat 21 months.
"Top Gear" is her favorite show.
She's a gorgeous, breed-standard silver Husky. I'd post her picture, but since the last Photobucket upgrade, all I get is a black X.
Seriously! I would have had a whole lot more fun with that woman than just letting her go off like they did!
I believe I can say with confidence and in all honesty I really don't care if, in the long run, "white people are bred out of existence". What I DO care about is if American CULTURE is bred out of existence.
I heard an interesting point on Rush the other day (or maybe it was Levin's show, I think it was that more I think of it): apparently from 1925-1965 there was ZERO immigration. I don't know if that's true or not but the concept was that it let our country absorb what we did receive before into our culture. And of course the immigrants back then actually wanted to assimilate.
Now the problem isn't different races per se, but the current influx doesn't want to assimilate ("brown" OR white). Our American culture is disappearing because we are too afraid to insist people who come here become Americans! We are too afraid of the "racist" or "cultural insensitivity" labels. We are "told" that we have no right to ask people COMING HERE, to accept our culture! It's crazy. Absolutely bassackwards.
This is the problem. Not that we don't have (or are in danger of losing) enough white people. We are in danger of losing our culture, our identity as a nation of one people, black, brown, white, yellow or whatever, united under the concept of individual liberty and responsibility. If we could have just that, I wouldn't care if I was the last white person left in the US.
It took me a few years but I really wish we'd had more children!
(psst: You look great in this picture!)
Hey, I love the 70's style of clothes. In fact, I'm still waiting for it to become popular again. I have my bell bottom pants and platform shoes all ready! LOL!
My family (parents, brother, me) has pictures in the same styles.
Bwahahaha!
