I think to answer the question you have to look at the problem in a different way. It is not a question of whom the Poles like less but after who do the Poles come from? The Polish Nation has inherited some really nasty traits from both sides, especially from the Ukraine where the Poles have taken their nastiest streaks from. Would a German or a Russian want to be a Pole? Not on your bloody life is the answer!!
German soldiers have been always undoubtedly subordinate so they followed the Fuhrer's words:
"Kill without mercy every man, woman, and child of Polish extraction."
Think you need to check your history again. Not every soldier in the German army was a 'goose stepping' nazi who believed every word Hitler uttered. Thousands were conscripted who did not want to fight and did not believe in the war.
The problem is, scorpek, in the case of the Russians, things are still happening. Just a few weeks ago they denied their involvement in the Katyn massacre and have threatened Poland if they allowed for the US missile shields to be built there. As a Pole, I don't hate anybody, and I wouldn't assume anything about a person just because he comes from a certain country. But there is such animosity historically between Poland and Germany and Russia and Poland that these things don't go away. I don't dislike Germans. I don't dislike Russians. But Russia's government, I don't trust. This is an important distinction. As Poland and Germany are EU friends now, wounds begin to heal. But Russia and Poland continue to antagonize each other. And it's been this way for 500 years. So to answer the post's question, without the hate, RUSSIANS.
I have got a real weakness for Russians. They are our Slavic brothers. A bit too intent on conquest, but still OK.
I have got a real weakness for Germans. They are very imaginative and disciplined people. Yes, they get crazy from time to time and destroy everything, but they are still OK.
The greatest weakness I cherish is for Jewish people. Smart, intelligent guys, maybe too obssessed with money, but still OK.
Ahem, wasn't Karl Marx european and a father of communism? :)
"Karl Heinrich Marx was born the third of seven children of a Jewish family in Trier, in the Kingdom of Prussia's Province of the Lower Rhine. His father Heinrich (1777–1838), who had descended from a long line of rabbis"
A jew by blood though there is claim that he converted to christianity. I do not blame jews as a whole for communism but the creator WAS Jewish , as was many of the soviet powers.
Mare Gaea, a lot of polish speak german, work or worked in germany and most of poles i talk to never had a bad word to say about germany. Even met three polish lads in the wee bar at Dublin Airport. They came back from their qualifier game in Portugal and I came back from ours in Wales. We had a great laugh together looking at all the pictures.
However I never met a Pole who spoke dutch. Maybe they hate your country more after all hu?
By the way, that German-Dutch thing should be seen as jokes, such comments shouldn't be mistaken for real hatred.. The same goes for all the Belgian-Dutch jokes floating about..
the german dutch thing is more of a joke i know. used to live in hilversum for a while and never had an issue. infact we always had a great time even when we played each other in football we watched it together.
Once sentence that stopped being funny after hearing it a 1000 times was "ik wil mijn fiets terug"
well the german leader during the war didnt like slavs he said they were inferior shame the poles are proving him right by fleeing poland as if it is sum horrible place like somalia
The greatest weakness I cherish is for Jewish people. Smart, intelligent guys, maybe too obssessed with money, but still OK.
Hm, nice one, Tommy, haven't heard that before. Generalisations galore I see. I have a good job with a good income and I am a Jew. Funny enough I am not obsessed by money. I couldn't care less as it cannot buy you happiness or peace of mind. Do all Poles steal, Tommy?
M-G (since it's generalisations galore, thought just might add an egg to the basket)
