Why does the idea of a "Slavic Union" with Poland seem so popular on this site?

It does not change the fact that Slavs do enjoy a genetic common root:))))

A genetic common root that doesn't seem to be enjoyed by almost half of the Polish population since they don't carry the R1a haplogroup at all. :-)

Nope, they carry a different yet common combination, the only real divergence is with Serbs and Macedonians who mixed with an indigenous Balkan population over 1500 years ago to a point where their genetics were altered and they're the only truly divergent genetic cluster, otherwise Slavs are the tightest knit genetic ethnic group.

They shouldn't be too afraid of having something Dutch in them. (Might make them a bit taller too!)

;P

What are you referring to exactly? The R1a haplogroup in general is not carried by 44% of the Polish population.

Poles were never afraid of mixing :)

R1A1 group is just a single group mentioned in Wiki, for example the central european Slavs (Czechs, Slovaks and Poles) make up a group R1a1a1, Poles after undergouing the mutation L260 aquired a group R1a1a1g2 which is visible also in the Czechs and is believed to be natively Polish.

Essentially Slavs have the same basic grouping which becomes divergent but similar through a series of mutations, it doent take an R1a combination to be a Slav, all it takes is the same root identified in all Slavic peoples, the root itself contains several different but similar, neighbouring genes.

In layman terms, there's a group of genes that underwent specific mutations, together they create a cluster of genes specific to a certain genetic group, Slavs have them and they prove the common genetic ancestry - ie there was a small specific group of peoples genetically outfitted in a similar manner who went on to become Slavs.

Slavic Union means slavery to Russia. Tried once , rejected by all!

Sokrates:
Common ancestry is not supported because its not a theory, its a scientific and antropologic fact and as such it is acknowledged.

Wrong.

Sokrates is right Delph. It's been proven in a European DNA testing that Poles are something between Czechs and Russians, leaning a little more towards Russians (probably since Czechs later mixed more with non Slavs). Of course Poles got admixture with neighboring peoples with came later, but there is a common Slavic ancestry and similar outlook.

You are just telling me about subclades of R1a.

Slavic Union just makes sense.

The reason why Slavs have been left behind is because instead of united we always would rather attack each other which gave Mongols, Germans, Vikings, Tatars, ect ect the Upper hand.

Because losers always try to invent something to stick to: unions, shackles, serfdom. They need someone's hand to lick, someone's **** to suck. "Slavic Union" idea was born from laziness and will to control by one and will to stand on the knees by others. People united by something other than money and mutual profit, for example, by retarded ideas of R1a or Y2K or any other combination of letters, "common blood" and other crap are destined to what the Slavs already went through. It seems history indeed doesn't teach some at all.

Wasnt that a forced idea by the Soviets.
Im thinking a slavic union would have representatives from each country proportionally.
(Anyways I doubt it will happen because countries are hungry for money and the western countries are full of it).

Pan-Slavism was exploited by the Soviets in the 20th Century but its original manifestation was rather idealistic and noble.

The Soviet Union was like the Anti Slavic Union. It was created by Jews & Germans to destroy Slavs.

A Real Slavic union could be like the U.S.A with each Nation being like a State with a similar goal.

What do you mean BB? Slavic Union in the US? lol How is that suppose to work? Vast majority of our population is of German descent.

Slavic Union in the US?

that reminds me

You know what Gavrilo Princip answered to the prosecutor during trail when he was asked what was his aim when decided to assassinate archduke? Gavrilo said, among else, that he dream of Unity of Slavs. Prosecutor then asked again, trying to get `satisfactory` answer: ``You mean, Slavic Unity within the Austro-Hungaria under Hapsburg monarchy?`` As an answer Gavrilo just replied: ``God forded!`` and he placed cross on himself.

I didn't lie, did I?

German Americans are citizens of the United States of German ancestry and comprise about 51 million people, or 17% of the U.S. population, the country's largest self-reported ancestral group.

well, pretty much every 6th American has some German blood in him. I call it a vast majority, you can call it what you want.

Slavs are quite similar in their appearance,customs,character,mentality and this is obvious to any visitor of slavic countries.When abroad most foreigners are likely to confuse Poles with Czechs and Russians and even Serbs you must be really experienced to tell the differences by appearance.The local differences were created by historical reasons usually life under different ocupators.

The onslaught of the 'Asian tribes' after and before the collapse of the Roman Empire and 'their occupation' of the Eastern part of Europe' must' be a big part in the genetic make-up of the tribes and people who didn't run or escape. Goth and Francs mixed with invaders from Asia = Slav..Just a thought..

In my opinion slavic women appearance was so overwhelming that they left little choice to the indigenous populations.In case of Byzantium it was politics.We let the Slavs in to block the Germans from invading.

Majority would mean over 50%.

Can you go back to jerking off to pûrn instead of posting rubbish?

I like the warmth I experienced with Slavs in general.

And they are... uninhibited...taste of freedom everywhere, concept of duty unknown :))))

When will they stop, when, when, when????? or Wann? Wann? Wann? ;)

Looks like Slavs don't love each other that much.

Hardly an argument. Wars happened between now quite strong allies. Civil wars too.

If by blood soaked western Europe could have started the new Union, I don't see the reason for Slavs not to try something similar?
