'Octomom' Gets Death Threats
 
Ok not everyone (and hardly anyone) is impressed with this mother of many. But this is going too far.

These idiots are only helping to increase support for those who are exploiting the system. Discuss the issue. Leave the children out of it and for petes sake don't talk about violence!

It's not funny its not cute. Its unlawful and unethical!

This just shouldn't have happened in the first place. Death threats go too far, but the point is, this is total BS

Ah, I see that the base nature of humanity to compete for resources mainfests itself once again. The gene war never ends.

I always wonder how many of these "death threat" are manufactured for publicity?

I am glad that the police are taking them seriously but I wonder how much cop-time is wasted on "PR" death threats?

"Octomom", I do not get it? Is she like half octopuss or something....:hmmm:

A Very Super Market 02-15-09 10:55 AM

I like taking things literally.

She's the one with the 8 kids. Octuplets.

Not the one with 8 arms

Jimbuna 02-15-09 12:24 PM

I hear she has 14 in total :o

This whole story reminds me of comedian Dennis Miller's line about a similar multiple birth incident involving a fertility clinic;

"It's a vagina, it's not a clown car." :88)

What no one has told you yet is that she knowingly, with 6 other children already, went to a fertility clinic and had a doctor basically knock her up medically.

Why would an unemployed mother do this? Simple - welfare check. Every kid she has is more money for her. This is an old trick and is usually done by by illegal Mexicans. The plea to the community in her case is just more money for herself using the poor little me BS.

The reason for the outrage over octomom is the lies told that she was supposedly able to raise the children herself with no .gov assistance.

While the media pawned over this "wonder mom" those who had any kind of sence checked and found what complete and utter BS this is.

Just put it this way. The hospital care for the birth and stay alone for just these 8 will be over a million dollars. Meanwhile is Octomom studying hard to prepare to get a job to support these 14? Nope she was spotted getting an Xbox360.

Frame57 02-16-09 01:34 PM

Holy Crap! Having raised two kids and that was enough I cannot imagine all those diaper changes and feedings at 2 in the morning. I would commit suicide...:arrgh!:

If she is normal, she may not deserve death threads, but she surely deserve a spanking. but I also can not rule out that she is psychologically serverly handicapped (="gaga"). In both cases it should be checked if it is a good idea and reasonable to leave the kids with her.

I think, sie hat wirklich ein Rad ab.

Spike88 02-16-09 03:44 PM

She does have a total of 14. I can see where this can anger people, because she's taking other peoples money just because she decided she wanted 14 kids.

Zachstar 02-17-09 12:47 AM

The good news is this is looking more and more like CPS is going to step in.

The talk is the house they are living in now is nowhere near equipped to handle 14. And while this supposed offer from some dumbass farmer in my view to take her in might happen. Something tells me this is not going to end the way she expected.

Platapus 02-17-09 07:24 PM

Hey all the right-to-lifers should be happy with this women. She had six fertilized embryos. Her religious/moral beliefs would not allow her to let them die as they were, in her mind, already six human beings.

That's why she had all six implanted.

At least that is what she said during the TV interview last week.

Clearly she should not have had all six eggs fertilized in the first place.

But once they are fertilized, what would a right-to-lifer want her to do?

Should she have been "forced" to give some/all of her fertilized embryos to some one else?

Should she have aborted the procedure and allowed six human beings to be, as some say, "murdered"?

Would not a right-to-lifer insist that she carry the six embryos?

An interesting moral delemna. And one that may challenge some of the beliefs of right-to-lifers.
