A man aged 29 has fathered 21 children with 11 different women, it emerged yesterday.

Desmond Hatchett's brood came to light after authorities in Tennessee in the U.S. took him to court for non-payment of child support.

He has apparently set a U.S. record but said: 'It just happened.'

He added that he would not have any more children. 'I'm done. I'll say I'm done,' he said.

Hatchett, who earns a minimal wage, told TV reporters he knows the names and ages of all his offspring.

Authorities in Knoxville said they plan to take half of his monthly salary to pay for the youngsters but officials said that would work out to just over £1 a week for each.

Sounds pretty pro-life to me...

Well we know 11 mothers that were pro-life at least

[taillightchaser]

Wow, he knows all their ages and names. What a great father!!
I wonder if he knows all the mothers names??

...has fathered 21 children with 11 different stupid Democrat women

There, fixed.

Hatchett, who earns a minimal wage, told TV reporters he knows the names and ages of all his offspring.

Just wow! He knows his own kids names! He should be proud of himself!!! And the NAACP has nothing better to do than boycott NASCAR.

Great pass on that walnut size brain.

OH! Well, that makes it okay, then. Let's name him Father of the Year.

“Authorities in Knoxville said they plan to take half of his monthly salary”

That’s less than what Obama is going to take from the rest of us in taxes.

Darwin would say this irresponsible jerk has successfully adapted, and is one of the fittest human males for survival.

Fitness is measured over many generations (tens, hundreds, thousands). For example, a man seeding one hundred children, all of whom are subsequently infertile, is not the branch of a particularly fit lineage in the genetic sense.

The idea is to have as many children as possible such that as many children as possible are in turn spawned by them, such that as many children as possible are in turn spawned by them, such that...iterated at least a few more times. If your branch dies out or stops growing after a few generations, genetically, it is almost as if you never existed (almost because most of your genes can still indirectly be propagated by non-child blood relatives whose fitness may have been influenced by you and/or your progeny - this effect is very strong in social animals).

Pay taxes? You’re raising them, buster!

[blackminorca]

You got that right - and no wonder I can barely afford my own.

I understand putting it to as many women as possible, I think on our deathbed, prior to repenting, we will all regret doing otherwise— but fathering so many children I find distasteful.

>.names and ages of all his offspring.

Wonder if he also remembers the name of all his kids moms.

[TheThinker]

Men who impregnate and then abandon should be tracked down, and charged with child neglect. It should be a felony offense

That's a great idea. Then he wouldn't be able to impregnate more, at least for a while...

The first thing that needs done is to cut off this animal's schwantz before he finds a fresh brood mare to produce another bouncing little bundle of welfare with.
