In Pratt KS. She looked like she was Amish, they were very simply dxressed with matching home-made dresses & outfits, very well mannered & obedient. So cute!

I couldn't resist so I got $20 out of my wallet & went to find them.

"Hi, hope you don't mind me asking but are these all your kids?

The pale, awkward woman stammered "yes?"

Well I'm the youngest of 6 and its always so nice to see big families, its especially so rare today!" I began as she stared blankly.

"When I was a kid, people used to come up to my parents and give them money because their kids were so well behaved!"

I was excited, but this woman looked confused, so I c,ut it short and handed her the money.. "so here!"

o, no!" She proclaimed.

"Aww come on, I insist. Here, buy yourself a treat. Here, take it! " I said to the 13 year old daughter who appeared to be the oldest. She had a big grin and looked at her mom, and snatched it up.

Share it, I told her, as all the younger ones looked on.

(I only hope the mom didn't give her an ass-whoopin later for disrespecting the wishes of her mama.)

Celebrate big families the next time you see one, it may be the hope for the future of our society, and against the culture of death!

My folks never made a dime off of me.

So gifts of charity and good will, are somehow demeaning, in 2015.? I disagree. But to each their own.

I actually remember you sending cash to someone n need who was posting their woes on a forum. They didn't ask for it, but surely appreciated it. Was that demeaning too?

I heard something on the radio today en route home, that the birth rate of multicultural babies is at a high in this country and represents about 2/3 of them.

Really? Is that what what they teach God-fearing folks in church these days? To not lend a hand to a stranger? I've done it many times. I've purchased meals out of my own pocket to homeless people in the city of L.A. Interesting enough many years later that gesture was returned to me threefold by a stranger!

Okay, if you think you are doing a good, charitable deed then I should have kept my trap shut.

I understand about homeless people being in need too. Good for your generosity.

I never thought of what I did as being a "charitable deed". I just have empathy and compassion for those less fortunate. I know what it is to be homeless and hungry. I grew up hungry all the time.

You're alright, Fred.

Where is there any clue they were less fortunate or any of that? If the Amish are famous for anything, it's being self-sufficient. I do applaud Artisan's gesture, but really.

Well, since you are so darn insistent about "self-sufficiency" lets just get rid of social security, and Medicare, and force everybody to work including all the old people who have been literally sucking off the social security tit at the young people's expense.

Since Americans are forced to pay for these 'benefits', I'm sure many workers - especially the young who don't expect to see SS in their lifetime - would love to dump them.

This didn't mean that the family of nine I saw was homeless or destitute, but I believe primarily in celebrating those who buck the status quo, break thru the contraceptive self-distinction veru sick mentality that has pervaded & warped the worlds culture (by design) over the past few generations. I mean come on $20 is nothing, maybe an ice cream for each of them. (I would've actually given them more but its all I had in my wallet.)

I know that anyone with 7 kids could use help of all sorts, but even more than that, they deserve props, kudos, celebration, affirmation. As today many have scorn and derision for large families. I think large families are beautiful.

Lastly this may seem ironic given this thread but I don't believe in boasting about ones charitable deeds because that gives one credit on earth instead of to Gods eyes. In this case though I was simply trying to promote celbration of large families.

I was one of 9 children. We grew up with enough, but dad followed the frugal route - no Wheaties, color TV and little wasteful things in his opinion.

Edit: I revisited the title you chose for this thread. Would you have done the same for a similar non-white family? /trouble-maker mode

wow 9 siblings that's awesome. what was the boy/girl ratio? we were 3 & 3, brady bunch.

Nope, I only approve of white families, no one else. ;-)

LoL, kidding. no it's just that large families are rare enough but at least where im from, in so. Cal, its particularly rare during my lifetime to see large white families,.

My dad bought those 19 cents cereal in those plastic bags - puffed rice, puffed wheat and one other whose name escapes me at the moment.

When I was about ten I received a transistor radio as a birthday or Christmas gift. I was in heaven.

I remember eating cereal with water a few times; but we were provided for overall.

No PF Flyers for me!

I remember my dad found a DEAL at Sears & Roebuck when I was a teenager. He bought me six pairs of ugly green slacks - two for the first year and then two when my waist size expanded and two more when it expanded again.

Cripes! I'm wearing shorts right now that are nearly the same color. I'm ruined for life!

My dad had a Christmas tree farm. Gave him farmland assessment - very low property taxes on a 140 acre spread.

One year my mother and I rescued a leftover, abandoned tree from a closed-up Christmas tree stand on Christmas Eve. The tree was in pretty poor shape, but the price was right.

But we haven't had a Christmas tree here for ~25 years now. I'm over it, too.

Sweet.

As a newly wed, and half-way broke, I'd go out at Christmas on the rural roads here and find a nice cedar tree to harvest for our Christmas tree.

All decorated, it looked just fine and the price was right.

lol - the price is key.

Since I've learned what a hoax is Christmas here, it's tough to sit through all the family bs that goes on with it.

It makes me crazy, or crazier.
