Is that one of those left handed complements like "you don't sweat much for a fat girl."

Yeah, it sure doesn't hurt anything. Also, I doubt that those kids are starving or wanting for presentable clothes to wear.

It's never easy being a good parent.

You are right. Actually, a family going through a period of economic struggle is not a bad thing as long as it is not extreme. It brings out character and loving and caring for each other that I don't think is found very often in a family that never wants for anything.

One could run with that argument and suggest than wealthy parents never raise pissant larvae.
Sometimes good parents are able to raise good kids despite having great wealth.

Yeah, sure, Larry. Obviously just some good-natured joking. Followed up with another gem, quoted below.

Would you mind posting pictures of your children on this thread? We would like to critique their appearance. Thanks.

Carters daughter is pretty average looking, I don't consider her ugly at all, you need to redefine what you consider ugly.
a reminder of people who actually are pretty ugly-
very ugly people - Gallery

We can't all be Meghan McCain, though I have to admit my interest would run towards Dubyas daughter Barbara if I were to choose one. (my tastes run towards slender brunettes)

Just curious, suppose he does post pics of his children, and they're good looking? What then? Do you lie and say they are ugly, knowing that all will see that it's just an empty lie? Do you apologize and congratulate him on his attractive offspring? Do you quietly fade into the woodwork of the internet? It just seems that you've left yourself wide open here, and I was wondering the reasoning.

Oh it's not a jollies type of thing at all. I was just wondering if you could handle strangers calling YOUR children unattractive. I'm sensing that you're a little thin-skinned about this sort of thing so I'll back off. You have a nice day now, sport.

I'll be honest with you, I couldn't care less if he posted pictures of barnyard chickens on this site.

I think we all know that JP is not a fool, and as such he does not post pictures of his kids on internet forums.

just sayin'....

She's ugly because she's Carter's daughter. Clinton's daughter is ugly too, and when Obama's are old enough to come under male scrutiny they too will be ugly if they aren't already. Democrats have ugly daughters. Everybody knows that.
