A Web site featuring Nadya Suleman's new octuplets is collecting donations for the 33-year-old mother and her 14 children. The single and unemployed mom's situation has sparked widespread controversy.

Your thoughts?

Personally, I wouldn't donate anything.

As a fellow Golden State California resident we are supporting her.  My morning newspaper had an article that not only does it take a village to raise Octuplet Mom's 14 babies, it takes the County, the State and the Federal Government.  This week the hospital has forwarded their bills to Medical for payment.  Estimates are the hospitalization bill will exceed $1 million.  The county provides health care through their County Health Department.  No doubt the County's Department of Social Services is going to be calling on her.  The State provides benefits through food stamps and unemployment benefits, and the Federal Government provides support through SSI (3 of the other 6 children qualify).
 
"I gave at the office."  I donate every day I go to work.
 
Now there are claims she had plastic surgery so she looks like Angelina Jolie.  Now I don't mean to make fun of her looks, but I was wondering where her Donald Duck lips came from.  Seriously, when I saw her interview with Ann Curry that is exactly what popped into my head.  "OMG She looks like Donald Duck!'  It just jumped out at me as I have never seen anything like it before.  Not making fun of her, but it just looked peculiar.  The only thing I resolved was I thought maybe her lips swelled up because of her gravidity, like our breasts.  I'm serious.  It had not occurred to me she intentionally did that.  LMBO!
 
As I wrote earlier, I suspect she has some psychological issues.

Never in a million years! I feel awful for those children of hers because there is no way that a single parent can provide the love, support, psychological/physiological needs that those children need.
I'm sorry to say, the tax payers of California where she lives will have to pick up the bill like they prob have started to already seeing the cost of having those kids is in the millions.
She is selfish, psychologically something is wrong with her!
I'm sorry I went on a rant, but those are my thoughts.
