Ah, no! Really amazing stuff: Now the plans for new EU census digg right into the intimate details. Oh, come on - this is as absurd, as the people in the job office in Hamburg asking for jucey details of one's visual preferences for movies: HOW is this supposed to help any planning?

One could go into discussing the gender aspects of this new census, telling the guys finally what they always wanted to know but not dared to question ... but who would be so stupid - sorry naive - to answer correctly? And what benefit is to be expeced from this kind of information?

What difference does it make: The panel is just one snapshot in time! Be it 10, 100 or even 1000 partners before the actual spouse the woman lives with - what difference in planning is this going to make?

Will they include more facilities for hygiene, architectural sweet spots for casual horny meetings in public or stronger video surveillance? I think not.

It may hint in the direction if the children are born and raised in wedlock "correctly" or if external gene pools were tapped. Ok. This happens more often, than thought, according to the yellow press.

But who really cares: If you are a dad to your children and love them: Do you want to know, if you really also genetically are the father -or don't you? Do you want to break up with your ok family life, after years of conception and birth and face the consequences? Up to how many years after? I personally would not care, if someone told me: "Hey, your 10 year old, is not your own son." Which might be true.

Only the women know, really. Let's face it. This has been going on since we climbed off trees.

Or did you never wander, why rules for inheritance are so difficult in different cultures?

So, after 10 years of fatherhood to your child: Would you really want to know, if it was you or your best mate or Joe Bloke? This question, I think, migth be relevant in the difficult times of pregnancy and shortly afterwards, when you can still run from it - as many do. As long as you have not had any chance to develop a personal relation to your child. But after that - after you are seen and felt as being the father, for the child's and your own sake of sanity: Do you really want to know?
If yes, you have to deal with the complexities derived from the answer.

So: Who really cares about these facts? Voyeurs without proper possibilities to live their own sexual drives; they might be turned on by the idea of high numbers. Ok. But they are not the ones these surveys are being conducted for. Social scientists, now being able to compare country X to Y - but hey: This relies on honest answers, you most likely will not collect with these questions. Interesting which sort of crossmatching the EU dataming willl conduct here: I bet, that this all goes in the direction of categorising the possible mothers into something like breeding schemes. Just immagine the new business models (for blackmailing) emerging ...

I bet you, guys, the next thing on the road map to question and to categorize might just as well be our ...



Good night!
