OMG - I’m Proud Of Bill O’Reilly…Sort Of
I’ve never been a huge fan of Bill O’Reilly - I do like people who can speak their minds, but he’s a journalist, meaning that he should be objective, and he’s had some very unkind things to say about my beloved state of Vermont. 
Anyway, Bill O had a few things to say about Angelina last night and the recent article on ABC News’ website. The article asks if Angelina (I love how they just left it at Angelina, and forgot about Brad), is adopting children to fill a void in her life.
They brought on two psychologists who both agreed that Angie may be adopting children from other countries in order to make herself “feel better”, meanwhile Bill O was defending her! Kind of…he was saying how it was really none of our business - this coming from one of the biggest nosey journalists there is - and that he didn’t agree with the subject.
When you read the article (and you should - you really should) you’ll find that there are some psychologists that say this is completely bunk, and that having a large family doesn’t mean that the children will suffer. I think that it is absolutely possible to have a large family and to spend time with all of the children, especially when you have access to some of the same resources that Brad and Angie do and can leave the other children with the nanny while you spend some individual time with them, one at a time.
Sherry put up the video of Bill’s Angelina segment last night - you can find it here. You should definitely watch it, then come back and let me know what you think about this whole discussion.

Hello, Randi. Pinky, can it be? Did I really get here before you did or are you just giving me leeway?
Anyway, I saw the video on Sherry’s site and left this comment, which I’ll post here too:

I truly believe that Angie and Brad cares for their children with all their heart, and that they have a lot of love to give. And I admire them for giving these children what truly appears to be a happy life. Angie have changed so much since Maddox came into her life, and I don’t think she’s using the children to have some sense of self-fulfillment, and I remember her saying something to the effect that because she now has Madd in her life, she needed to change for the better. Alright, so she had a pretty notorious life prior to Madd, but she’s very different now and much more mature. I’m sure most of us went through some sort of rebellious, wild time when we were younger, but most of us have turned out well as we mature. And Angie is just that, a mature, loving woman. Unfortunately, there will always be people who will remain skeptical. I understand that the psychologists may have a valid point, and that there are some adopters who may doing just what they said, but I believe that with Angie and Brad, the welfare of the children comes first.
By the way, I really, really do not like Bill O’Reilly, but it’s nice to see him defend Angie.

Living here in the Philippines, I see many big families, and in fact both my mother and my father came from big families (at least 10 kids). And I grew up seeing them loving and caring for each other…mind you, they fight and they argue, but in the end, you know that they love each other, and they have passed on that attitude to us. You’re so very right, Randi, that it is absolutely ok to have a large family and have time and attention for each child. I think this is especially true for Angie and Brad, because, while this may sound weird, they can afford to have a big family. Like I said, both Brad and Angie seems have a lot of love to give, and so why shouldn’t they give it to their kids. Bill O’Reilly (I hate to say this) is right when he said we can’t just judge these people based on what we hear about them and what we think we know about their past. It’s so unfortunate that there are people out there who seems to be bent on getting out some negative things to say about Angie (not so much about Brad) just because she had a been a rebel.

I am wandering if these two ladies who had their very ridiculous opinions have ever thought about what kind of a life Angelina and Brad’s adopted kids would have if they would never have been adopted. These ladies should be less worried about how much attention gets spent on each kid and be happy that these kids are taken care of mentally and physically better than they would have staying in their situation before.

truly there are many people that will never change their feelings about angelina. the good news is that angie doesnt care ,at least i hope she doesnt emphasize when she hears something negative about her.
there are people out there that love children and want them in there life and some dont care for it , and i think that is ok, brad and angie appear to me like they love children and that is one of the reason they are together. angie to me has always appeared to be a very sensitive person with true honesty and love and respect for mankind , in her younger years she expressed in the way she did because it felt real, others give a fake appearance and get away with it , so to answer does two ladies , their is no emptiness in ANGELINAs life only abbundance of love , that is my view
