My grandparents had 12 children. I have almost 50 cousins.
I'm just glad I'm related to them instead of all the hate-filled, skull-splitting "only" children out there.
Same here. 12 uncles and aunties on 1 side and 7 on the other. Couldn't count my cousins.
Haha, pretty funny after what I've said in here.
I guess if i'm to remain true to my traditionally natural world view I should be saying people with small families should be culled. Thats the way it should be and would be in a wild natural world. My family could beat your family and so we would, we'd take your land, some of the more attractive females, kill the rest of you and expand on our kingdom.
I just think with the world in the state its in now its so fucking irresponsible to have a family that big. We'll never return to territorialism or mob rule, unfortunately. The thing is we still have those instincts, and this horrible explosion of human beings is the result.
I wish me and my army of relatives had a territory on lock, living off its bounty and defending it from rivals. But we live in big, gay, societies, so this massive family has no purpose.
There are many benefits of having a mass family, I think you develop to understand humans better than a single child with relatives over seas would. Because having this collective extended family is the natural state of the homo-sapien, so observing the behaviour of the group at christmas parties and weddings is observing the real natural behaviour of the social animal that is the homo sapien.
