History / Why has Poland been attacked so often by its neighbors? [180]

plk123...I was trying to give the cliff notes version, not the novelized one; however, in this case maybe I should've just so you can get the jist of it. The pomerani tribe was a slavic tribe and I never said that the kashubs weren't. Silly me for assuming that since I only mentioned the one, and not the other because they were both slavic, that the general idea would not get across.

Really??? One can say the same about you- and, by the way, I did not.

So silly and so typical to accuse us en masse of how 'we Germans' are. Sounds more like blatant rascist stereotypical hatrad of the Germans on your part (reading between your lines)...however, that is to be expected on this forum as it slowly descends to the levels where the knuckledraggers and those lacking opposable digits and the cranial capacity to do proper non-wikipedia sourced research dwell.

I suppose this is where all the polska skinheads proliferate ;)

Let us all just get along and stop believing everything re-posted from wikipedia as cast in stone truth- it isn't.

plk123...I never said anything about 'Kashubs'. Your attempt at reading between the lines and reading what you want to read has failed you again. Sorry to disappoint, but I don't believe I speak, how you say...."BS".

Like I said before, these lands have gone back and forth between slav and germanic peoples over the past 2,000 years, it is merely a fact. One can argue the Slavs pushed west and the Germanic peoples pushed back in an easterly direction- nothing more.

Yes plk123....Pommern has been German for over 800 years and, recently, only 63 years under Polish administration. And before you attempt to rip that apart with some reposting of something from wikipedia, which contains mostly drivel, bear in mind that the Goths, a germanic tribe, was in that area around 2,000 years ago until the Slavic tribe, the pomerani, hence the name today, pushed them out slowly during the 5th and 6the centuries. About 600 years later, the pushee's pushed back.

That being the case, borders tend to be fluid over the centuries and most likely will be again in the future.

did someone say something about whine or wine? goes good with cheese.
