If Dominic reporting her to whoever it was comes back to her, she could always just claim she didn't post it, but that it was done by someone impersonating her..... could the forum logs be subpeonaed? Is that a thing in the UK?

If I understand, the OP works for the NHS which is itself working with a private company to place doctors where there are shortages. Why is using the NHS address in such a context such a violation?

(granted looking for professional employees on this forum is kind of (extremely) stupid and/or misguided, but how would a non-member realize that?)

Pretty much... Kaczyński can't forgive him for having done more to end communism (a system that didn't hurt the Kaczyńskis at all) than he did. He wants to steal his legacy and so he makes up all this nonsense about magdalena cliques and dark conspiracies blah blah blah

So, you're saying you never sought employment at GW (or with AM in general)? Is that what you're saying?

It should also be mentioned that his mother was not Jewish (which traditionally means he's not) and he does not practice Judaism as far as anyone knows. Why do you keep harping about his supposed Jewishness?

And how is the PiS campaign to rewrite the history of Solidarity to make Lech and Jarek central figures (and minimalizing Wałęsa and Michnik) going? Is the dim nation buying it? Or is it just an article of faith for the nomenklatura?

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


That's just one strategy, there are others. Some women separate the impregnaters from the providers.


This often seems to be the primary (mostly subconscious) goal of some women and not a coping strategy. See Mildren Baena, who fosted off Arnold Schwarzenegger's son has her husband's for 13 years before going for the big payout from the big man himself. Or see the woman in an article I linked who had herself impregnated with her ex-boyfriend's sperm while hubby paid the bills....


That's only a viable strategy for a very small number of men (R selected) they are mostly sociopaths (and very attractive to many women). Other men pursue different strategies by either demonstrating provider ability or emotional affinity hoping to benefit from long term bonds rather (aka K selection).

At their basest the sexual.... urges of both men and women are pretty horrible and depressing (in diffeent ways). The job of civilization is to harness and re-focus those urges into productive avenues, but that's and idea that's mostly been lost in the west though the results can hardly be described as very desirable.

*in Polish burak 'beet' is used to describe people, especially in the countryside, who don't have much education or social capital, a little like 'redneck' in parts of the US.

What bigfoot and the reptilians? How many other fictional creatures do you suppose he created?

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


Yes, human nature can be very depressing.

But in sum total, I'm a realist and long ago realized that women are no more "faithful" by nature than men are (though the motivations tend to differ). But that's one bit of equality that women don't seem to be too anxious to publicly claim.

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


Yeah. And I'm not sure I really care about the issue that much since I decided long ago to not have children myself. My position is partly an informal experiment and what I've found very consistently is that women don't care about the reproductive fate of men.

There's no concern that a man might spend years dumping financial assets into a genetically unrelated child (even indignation that he should care).
This is important because if a man were sure to find out soon after birth that child was not related then he could sever the relationship and try again with someone else.

Just a question: Who is victimized the most by polygamy?


What are the chances that your partner could deceive you into raising another woman's child and make you think it's yours?

Let's play celebrity paternity fraud!

Who does Chelsea Clinton look more like, Bill Clinton or Webster Hubbell?

Who does Obama look more like? His supposed biological father or a friend of his mother's family Frank Marshall Davis?

Who does Prince Harry look more like? Charles or James Hewitt?

Are there Polish examples of well known people who more like a friend or co-worker of the mother than the father?

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


I _really_ dislike cheaters of all kinds and would rather they were not allowed to wreck havoc on decent peoples' lives. I'm willing to accept some level of discomfort to help achieve that - remember, DNA testing would affect men who cheat just about as much as women....

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


The best reason to make them routine and normal for everyone. If it's a normal part of registering a birth then no one (except for cheaters) need feel awkward.

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


So, if you have a three year old and the hospital contacts you and says your baby was switched at birth with some other woman's you wouldn't care?

You'd just say "She's his mother now!" and leave it at that?


So you think it's okay for a woman to pass off the result of a fling as her husband's kid as long as they're a "family" or he doesn't find out?

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


Why should the man support the child at all if it's not his? If it isn't his, he has the right to know that before making the choice about whether to spend 18 years worth of money on it.


That's why it needs to be a legal requirement, so that it's just a matter of course.


So that he knows too.


Then how do you propose to stop women from taking money from men who aren't the fathers? Do you have a better way to separate the female cheaters from the good women besides DNA testing?

Or is this a problem you think needs solving?

What about the other way, doesn't a woman have the right to know that her partner has fathered another woman's child? It does work both ways....

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


Ideally, she should volunteer, even insist if he's reluctant. It's the moral thing to do if she's asking him to shovel 18 years of resources into the child.


Human nature can be very depressing. Nonetheless, it is what it is and as long as spome women are willing lie about paternity, honest women should not mind proving their honesty.

How do you propose to prevent cases like these? DNA tests at birth would have spared some people a lot of unnecessary pain.

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


Yes. Especially since paternity might be relevant in medical terms.


A blanket legal requirement for all births would be best.

Love / Polish girlfriend may be pregnant - what girls from Poland think on having a child without marriage? [54]


It should be! There is a small minority of women who think nothing of getting pregnant by one guy and telling another that it's his, or who sneak around on husbands/boyfriends with more 'exciting' men and think nothing of sticking the paternity (and associated costs) on the hubby.

It's a small minority of immoral women but there are enough of them that a man is a fool to fully trust any woman on paternity issues without ironclad proof (yes, a woman is a fool to fully trust any man about some other issues, yadda yadaa yadda). A woman who's not a cheater should be glad for the chance to prove to the father that the kid is his.

Well Merkel has gone out of her way to keep Greece impoverished and is impoverishing her country for the sake of maintaining hundreds of thousands of angry young men from places like Bangladesh and Morocco on welfare (there is zero chance that most will ever be involved in gainful, and legal, employment).

I'll also remind you that Orban was pilloried for saying his country should follow binding European laws and Merkel was lauded for complete lawlessness (and wanting to make decisions about other countries' borders - a historic German pasttime)
