Not sure about the exact numbers, but they are high... Too high - especially for businesses in Poland.

Genealogy / Is tallness common among Polish people? [201]

Such questions create even more silly stereotypes about Poles in general. How can one answer such a general question like "are Poles tall?". How would one answer the question "Are Poles fat"? It's all subjective opinion and the answer should be: "It depends - some of them are, some are not."

Genealogy / Is tallness common among Polish people? [201]

Some of these questions should be very obvious. Poles are not from another planet. What do they teach in school nowadays - not history, sociology, or geography for sure.

Life / Are Polish people open to others? [20]

Generally Poles are open to other people (especially to strangers as they aren't usually very friendly towards their Polish neighbours). So if a stranger needs help, Pole is open - but if a friend or neighbour needs help, it's not always the case.

Travel / Coming to Poland with a pet :) [47]

I was talking to a guy who used to live in the Warsaw area. He said he would go for jogging near the Wisla river with a baseball bat in case stray dogs attack him.

-- but it was about 10 years ago --

@krysia
What's your opinion on dobermans? I've heard they were actually "made" from GS genes and have many similar traits.

Life / Alcohol problems of Polish people [141]

I drink a lot of less in the US than when I'm in Poland (here one glass of wine or 2 shots of vodka a week; in Poland 3-4 times as much).

Language / Windows XP Polish Font help needed [25]

In Polish "Polish fonts" is "Polskie fonty" (fonts is fonty). You may go to google and enter it to find some sites (mostly in Polish though).

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

Tyskie is quite strong and is quite popular in Poland (especially that it has good PR campaign - it's a sponsor of Wisla Krakow and other sports teams).
