I just read this in the news and i want to share it with all mylotters... A father of 67 children to his 8 wives is planning to take another wife and hopes to father 100 children by 2015... with the hub hub about population control... this is a far cry... I just hope he will be able to support his ever growing family... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/israel_dad_s67_kids;_ylt=AvFlNQEGpT8E85grbzqwD0XtiBIF

He is actually proud of having so many eventhough he is not even financially wealthy... and he thinks that women want him to be their husband...

that's just so absurd. i mean, with all his children, how could he give enough time for each of them to guide them while they grow up?? not to mention quality time with his wives. what i think is that he doesnt love them. he's just a very proud man who wants to spread his genes and his name everywhere irregardless of whoever takes it. and he's very obsessed with that and to his weird goal of having a 100 children by 2015. he's nuts i tell ya. and he's just contributing to the rapidly increasing population of the whole world! doesnt he know about the problems brought about the large population? and can he even support them all? as in feed them 3 meals a day and 2 snacks? and send them to reputable and quality schools?? its just very absurd to me. ^.^

I see him as a selfish person who thinks only of satisfying himself... i don't think he knows all his children by name or that he cares for any of his wives...his goal in life is really weird...

I couldn't believe it when he said that he had a wife his age and hardly has anything to do with her because he has young wives to hang out with. I can't believe this. I wonder how they'd feel hearing about a woman with many husbands?

I once read in National Geographic or Reader's digest a certain tribe in Nepal where women are allowed to have more than one husbands... if the husbands are brothers then that is much better...

Interesting. I wonder if in old matriarchial societies multiple partners for the females was the norm.

In our country there are two movie & tv personalities whao have many children. If I'm not mistaken, the former Senator and actor Ramon Revilla Sr. has 81 children! The other is Dolphy, a comedianne, also has many children and I just don't know how many exactly. It's a public knowledge that these two have many children from different women.

Oh... i forgot about Ramon Revilla Sr. and Dolphy... but then... these two only have one legal wife... but the man above has about 8 and they all live under one roof...

See in thee early 1800s that probably would be accepted. But in this time and age how do you have time to physically make sure all of them get the proper attention needed. I truly believe in being productive and multiplying but like you said I hope he's able to support these kids. I havent read the story but it doesn't sound like he has a 9-5 type of career.

He actually does not have a job and depends on the government to support his children... good thing that not all men are like him...

Is this man INSANE? Why would anyone want to have 67 kids let alone 100. I hope he doesn't have to pay child support on these children because he would have to have several jobs to pay for them. I don't see how anyone could support 10 kids in this day and age. Wow. Thanks for sharing this crazy story. Have a great day.

He actually does not work... the government is giving him help to support his children who are citizens of his country... i think their government should order him to stop his quest for 100 children until such a time that he gets a decent job...

i feel sorry for those kids. There is no possible way he can give the love and attention a child needs to that many kids. It makes you wonder about the level of self esteem women in his country must have. To bad the government couldn't have him sterilized since he is receiving 1,700 dollars a month welfare already.Hopefully no other woman will be crazy enough to marry him.

Well, you have me there. Usually I can think of some silver lining for every cloud or something humorous to brighten whatever gloom befalls, but I cannot think of a single good thing to say about that one, so what is there to do? Oh, wait! Maybe the world will end in 2012.

Hello aseretdd, This is pretty amazing news. I just don't know what to say when I read this! 67 is just too many and he still wants to have some more children? Like you, I hope he can support his big family and be fair to all the wives!

Dear heavens, somebody neuter this guy!! I bet ya diiamonds to doughnuts he's not supporting these kids, unless he is filthy rich. Most probably they are on government support. And such desires stem from a very skewed idea of what it means to be a man, this is just an ego trip for him and the kids will pay the price.

Ugghhh! Some guys have all the luck! I can't find even ONE wife to have kids with. All smirking aside, it is my understanding that the Jews take seriously the part of the Old Testament that says "...be fruitful and multiply." I realize this is EXTREME, but for all we know he seriously thinks he is doing his part and not being narcissistic at all. I think maybe someone more familiar with how Israelis view this lifestyle would be better in commenting on this "feat" (lucky bas****!).

There is only one word I can find to describe a man like this. He is a pig. He has 67 children and the government is supporting them, him, and the eight wives. Somebody needs to stop this turkey. Talk about haunty arrogance.

I think that's an awful lot of kids to bring into the world. I noticed that the article didn't say how he supports all of these kids or wives for that matter other than to say that he receives some money from the government. !!HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I do not understand this culture but if the country is already impoverished, should there not be a ban on the number of children you have if you depend on the government to feed them. If he were rich enough to care for them all on his own, the issue would just be a moral one, but in this case, I think that the government should be involved. On a female note, the older wives who have been replaced are probably glad he leaves them alone now. What an arrogant jerk he sounds like.

Talk about popluation control. If every man in his country is like that there would be over popluation but then again if there isn't enough resources to support the popluation it would just go down again.

Oh that that is just sad. I am sorry but he is just having children for the sake of having them. I think it is sad really. How can any of his chidren get to know him they are way too many of them.
