Children learn from their enviroment...and guess what I see? THEY LOVE EACH OTHER!! I can't remember the exact episode, but they were leaving Beth's house and one of the girls(I think it was Hannah) came back in to kiss and hug the others goodbye.

I did mention the collective we in my posts. I'm not giving them a pass. I do feel SOME of you are giving a pass to the overly hateful words spouted against them. Again, I don't agree with some of Jon and Kate's choices (like yelling at each other in front of the children), but I just don't feel they warrant enough hate or have earned the label of worst parents on the planet. I'm just questioning why they deserve excessive hate. And nobody, in my opinion, has been able to answer why it would be alright to liken them to murderers or why it's necessary to nitpick on every little thing they do. <BR/><BR/>And I must say the kind of hate invested by some people against them--some of those people who claim to be child advocates--would be put to better use by actively advocating other children who are in less fortunate situations than the Gosselin children. Just saying. <BR/><BR/>As far as the consecutive posts ... it's an open forum. I have a lot of free time today, unfortunately.

To me, I still fail to see why Jon and Kate deserve to be aligned with the likes of Susan Smith. Why should they deserve that kind of hatred, when the extent of what they've done is show their lives on TV? Because I disagree with your post, would it be right for me to judge you as a completely abominable person because I perceive you to be giving me a lot of to work with just based on your post, like being cynical or overly judgmental? Never mind that I don't know you. <BR/><BR/>The way I see it, it's not that black and white as you put it, and that kind of thinking in my opinion is dismissive of what is truly good in us, of our ability to make choices and of our ability to be responsible for our actions. Yes, everyone has people who dislike/hate them, but again, as I said, we are responsible for the way we feel and react to those sentiments, just as we are responsible for how we voice our thoughts. We may have our primitive inclinations and foibles as human beings, but whether you like it or not, no matter how you put it, degrees do exist. You may persist the antithetical thought. That's fine. We don't have to see eye to eye.Angelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060581818158318591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-9116470373926999842008-10-22T13:42:00.000-07:002008-10-22T13:42:00.000-07:00When the "anti" people get on the freebies, etc. ...When the "anti" people get on the freebies, etc. Here you cry "hater" - bottomline, just because they go on trips, free clothes, etc. whether or not you think they deserve it - some people here say "Life is not fair".<BR/><BR/>So in turn, if the Gosselins choose to put how, when, where their children Poop, live, play (same difference) and some viwers say not so nice things - "Life is not fair".<BR/><BR/>There are no degrees. If you (not literally) can call other people cat ladies, crazy, loners, etc. just because they don't agree with you, the Gosselins are fair game.<BR/><BR/>I am not saying it's right, but their is "no degree". No amount of rationalizing, justifying, is going to change that.<BR/><BR/>Mean is mean. No matter who it is directed to.

The part of my post that you highlighted is also a reference to some people's belief that the Gosselins are responsible for every nasty comment directed at them. Just because they are on television, some believe it is justifiable that they receive every degrading statement directed at them, and if the Gosselin kids come across those comments, they have their parents to blame. To me, as I've already stated above in one of my posts, that just doesn't sit well because it undermines our ability as human beings to make choices, especially wise ones. We are responsible for our own actions. We are responsible for what we utter and for how we react to J & K. J & K are not responsible for what we choose to type about them. At some point, we can make a choice of whether or not we need to type out a vitriol and risk having the children come across that in the future. I'd hate to expound on this again, but if you wish to, please read my post above regarding this.Angelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060581818158318591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-76982725722617931272008-10-22T10:43:00.000-07:002008-10-22T10:43:00.000-07:00lancelotsbarber,Yes, there are degrees. I'm no...lancelotsbarber,<BR/><BR/>Yes, there are degrees. I'm not really sure what you're trying to catch me on. Let me say this: justifiable degrees. Is is justifiable to say that J & K can be likened to murderers? Why would that be? Is it alright to conclude that they are COMPLETELY bad for EVERY CHOICE they make when we don't know them first hand?<BR/><BR/>If you read what you quoted, I said EVERY choice. Because to me, it appears that SOME people have taken a free for all kind of attack on the Gosselins. I once saw topic on Kate's bra strap showing slightly from under her shirt, and somehow, the thread starter concluded Kate was an awful and wanton woman for that. <BR/><BR/>I don't agree with some of the things the parents do, such as yelling at each other and to me, it's pretty lousy to show that in front of the children, but would that be enough to make a judgment that Jon and Kate are bad? Or because Kate made a mistake to give her girls corn rows ... would it be necessary to nitpick on that faux pas, when she herself admitted that was a mistake? <BR/><BR/>My point with that statement you highlighted is that it's unnecessary to nitpick at every single thing they do, and then, come to the conclusion that they are the worst people on the planet. There's a limit to what we can judge, and most of it is really limited to what we see on television, and we've to remember, the show is edited.Angelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060581818158318591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-28423049680964031992008-10-22T10:09:00.000-07:002008-10-22T10:09:00.000-07:00It's reprehensible that anyone would make an e...<B>It's reprehensible that anyone would make an excuse and justification for why it would be alright to vilify every choice J & K make for their family.</B><BR/><BR/>But according to you....<BR/><BR/><B>There are degrees and extent of judgment.</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-80515913882148680122008-10-22T06:04:00.000-07:002008-10-22T06:04:00.000-07:00P.S.

There's just so much about it that does not make sense, and it oozes with hypocrisy and cynicism. It's definitely over the top, not just long-winded ... where to begin ...<BR/><BR/>There are degrees and extent of judgment. And I'm sorry, for me, sitting in a chair and watching the show is not enough to make a fully sensible and sound judgment of J & K's complete persona, of who they truly are. It simply would not be enough for any of the viewing public because of this fact: We do not know them personally. You can make that choice to judge them, but it does not mean it is right (ethically or morally). Making judgments are easy, but that does not mean our impressions of the family would be 100% correct. If our judgments always turned out to be 100% true even when we're just scratching the surface, then maybe we'd have less crimes on the streets. Maybe we'd have a thriving economy, a perfect society. Or maybe we'd be walking around distrusting each other. <BR/><BR/>It's reprehensible that anyone would make an excuse and justification for why it would be alright to vilify every choice J & K make for their family. And I'm sorry, some people have judged and come to the conclusion that they are comparable to murderers, and logically speaking, does that even make sense?<BR/><BR/>If you do not condone their actions, why continue sitting in that la-z-boy and watch the show? boycott it. I'm not saying you do this, but there are people who excessively decry the show, and yet persist to watch the show. That's just hyprocisy. Boycotting would be one way to not condone it. and guess what, i'm sure there is a child in your area who is living in a far worse situation than the Gosselin kids. Why not get up from that la-z-boy help that child in your neighborhood?Angelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060581818158318591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-82389425676412137832008-10-22T05:28:00.000-07:002008-10-22T05:28:00.000-07:00OPEN EYES OR OPEN YOUR EYESI moderate most of the ...OPEN EYES OR OPEN YOUR EYES<BR/><BR/>I moderate most of the comments.

Some people use the 10 Commandments, say, or The Golden Rule, or ethics and morals.<BR/>There all kinds of ways to decide for yourself if the consequences of an action are worthwhile. I bet you do it every day: Should I really have one more drink before dinner? Should I drink and drive?<BR/>And, when you are a parent, you’re responsible for the health and well-being of your child. You, if you are a decent parent, commit to ensuring that child gets to adulthood healthy, mentally sound and prepared to manage their own life.<BR/>So, you decide on every question as it comes: Should little Johnny set his own hours and face the consequences of sleeping past the start of school? No, you make the rules in your house.<BR/>If I know a neighbor lets their kids run all over, smoke cigarettes and drink, I make a judgment then and there that my kids can’t go over to play, study or hang out.<BR/>Did I just make a judgment on that person’s actions? You betcha! Because my set of morals and ethics says you don’t let kids act in ways that are harmful to themselves. Certainly not very young children who can’t make thoughtful decisions about things that might affect their entire life.<BR/>So, yes, I get to sit back in the old La-Z-Boy and decide every week about the actions and the visible consequences on my TV screen. I don’t care if I’m watching Rock of Love or Jon & Kate; both shows are “reality” and both shows have uneducated, uncaring people grasping at fame and fortune, while displaying little or no visible talent or skills.<BR/>Having eight rather cute children is not in and of itself so special and attention-worthy (no matter what Jon says about a curious public who wants to know about them so much that J&K felt almost obligated to do a TV show), that the very show justifies the exploitation of the children’s childhood. That somehow shopping for a free bed is so heady and the TV show must go on justifies ignoring the real pain and tears of a child ill and crying for his mother. Then, this child has to WALK as he is followed by a camera, not be carried by a loving parent, out to a vehicle and have a fecal impaction shown on TV and discussed in an interview.<BR/>That a parent did not step up to stop filming, to protect that boy’s privacy tells me everything I need to know about that set of parents’ sense of responsibility. And the lack of caring as demonstrated at the time and in the interview is just the cherry on top of the sundae.<BR/>Yeah, I’ll judge that. And I bet, if you really thought about it, you would, too. Any parent should have drawn back from the TV in shock to see a child treated that way, FOR ENTERTAINMENT and with the full consent of his parents. You tell me you’d do that to your children for the money and I will say all of this about you, because I use my decision-making ablities and critical thinking every day, in situation after situation. I would hope everyone does the same.<BR/>How such a situation is condoned is beyond me. Someday, I think there will be eight more people who think the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-70020445867869538672008-10-22T00:47:00.000-07:002008-10-22T00:47:00.000-07:00I'm not sure I get your point?

It really bugs me that some people think that the Gosselins' poor choices (assuming for the moment that we agree they've made poor choices) means that they (the Gosselins) are responsible for vicious comments that other individuals choose to post online.

Honestly, at a certain point I think people need to realize that they are judged by the company they keep, and you can't wade around in a cesspool and come out smelling like a rose.<BR/><BR/>That said, when I say this or that about GWoP, "as a whole", I am not condemning every person who chooses to post there. Let's say, I am condemning the overarching attitude rather than any one individual. <BR/><BR/>Also, while I do think the attitude at GWoP is "mean", "nasty" and "hateful", I would not bother to even discuss the goings-on there if it weren't for the stalking, the lying and the attempts to interfere with the Gosselins' lives. There are plenty of places on the web where people are mean, nasty and hateful and I don't bother myself with them. It's the escalation of the behavior that I've always felt merits opposition (I swear, I'm going to create a macro to make this point at some point; it comes up so often).<BR/><BR/><B>A lot of the posts over there are parodies and things are said in jest.

So, 'controversy' gets mentioned, but not substantiated: it raises the profile of the relatively-obscure Gosselins, and potentially sells more copies of a book that is, content-wise, probably pretty mild.<BR/><BR/>I'd say the Kate-factor combined with internet 'controversy' is a pretty good profit equation.Tyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063403849052207633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-86605724360458035822008-10-21T22:25:00.000-07:002008-10-21T22:25:00.000-07:00That is an interesting perspective.Blaming someone...<B>That is an interesting perspective.<BR/><BR/>Blaming someone else for misbehavior.</B><BR/><BR/>If Jon and Kate had not chosen to expose their lives, would what people say about them be an issue?<BR/><BR/>The last time I checked this is a free country, at the same time, the kids have an opportunity to read about how "inspirational" their parents are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-45705409353258534102008-10-21T21:34:00.000-07:002008-10-21T21:34:00.000-07:00"If the children find the things that are posted a..."If the children find the things that are posted about them on the internet, I would think if they were going to "blame" someone - the "blame" would fall on their parents, who exposed them to the world to begin with."<BR/><BR/>That is an interesting perspective.<BR/><BR/>Blaming someone else for misbehavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-21846187794549510642008-10-21T20:51:00.000-07:002008-10-21T20:51:00.000-07:00I forgot to add ...

Each one of us are responsible for what we say, for what comes out of our mouths or for what our fingers type on the keyboard. We are responsible for our own actions. Just because these children and their parents are on TV, it doesn't mean they deserve every hateful tripe that is spouted by some people against them. It's irresponsible to make overly callous remarks. And in my opinion, it's irresponsible to fault the Gosselins for how we choose to express our views on them. We are not incapable of will power. We have a choice of whether or not we make these snide remarks against the G's and the kids, whether our opinion is pro or anti J & K. Let's not undermine what we are inherently capable of--of being good and understanding.Angelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060581818158318591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-89325600367264017212008-10-21T20:22:00.000-07:002008-10-21T20:22:00.000-07:00Are they going to be locked and filed away until t...Are they going to be locked and filed away until the sextuplets are 18, so that when they find them on the internet they will be at an age where they might understand the humor at their expense?<BR/><BR/><B>B/c making fun of someone to make a point--a real human someone who is a young child...isn't funny and really makes the comic appear to be...a word I won't type.<BR/><BR/>I don't like real comedians who do that.
