LoL, some friends say i am a Viking ;) But they are quite ignorant...i'm blond with green/blue/grey eyes (i know it's "special"), etc, those few criteria make them think i'm a Viking (the Vikings were not a people, they were sailors, conquerors, warriors, merchants, etc. LoL)
So, the culture shows the difference, right ? ;) Cause Poles born abroad are quite similar to the "natives" ;)
Their language...English, Spanish, German, Polish, Italian, etc. LoL
lol - and everyone is equal but some of us are more equal than others ;-)
Haha ;)
what your origins are i wouldnt like to guess from a small black n white photo...

its not just physical features that set nationalities apart - the way they dress and conduct themselves also set them apart

Everyone is different, i think it would be hard to tell...some are easy to differentiate, and some others are more difficult.
Hehe ;) True i'm blond. So what country (countries) would you associate blond hair ? (i may know what you are going to answer...)
There are some blond people in France, but not many, i must say.
By the way, 1 French out of 3 have origins from another country...
:)
but can you see differences between italian and spanish...?

Have you been to school ? Germany was not allowed to rearm. They did. They was not allowed to invade Austria and the Czech Rep., they did. They had to respect the Danzig corridor as it was said in the treaty. They didn't.
Poland, France and Great Britain had an alliance. The one who would be attacked, would receive help from its allies. Germany invaded the Czech Rep., and nobody moved. People was too afraid to have another big war.
Churchill said about France and Britain : "they chose disgrace rather than war. They are going to have both"
Poland had no army at that time. They just recovered their independence, and just started to rebuild the country. But at least, Poland never collaborated, unlike France.
Aha you're naive ! First they would invade all the continent. Then, when they would be strong enough, they would have invaded you as well.
Germany has an alliance with Russia. You know what happened, Germany attacked Russia.
The Poles contributed to the victory more than you think. They fought along English, French, Americans...Polish pilots helped Britain. Polish soldiers fought in Holland, in Norway, in many places. You know what : Britain has the chance to be an island, cause it was not as easy for the Germans to invade the UK, as it was for Poland. Poland who was attacked by both Germany and Russia ! They fought bravely, they knew they would loose. Britain wasn't attacked by Scotland or Wales, am i mistaken ??
If Britain, Germany and France have such good economies, it's thank to US money ! After the WW2, the USA helped Western Europe a lot, while Poland was behind the Iron Curtain.
Show some respect for those who fought and died. Do you think Britain saved Europe ? Are you this ignorant ?
It's amazing how dumb you are. It's very sad.
Nazis killed Poles as they killed Britains. Germans were not all nazis, and today has nothing to do with WW2.
What about slavery in the Commonwealth ? Britain used to kill slaves, today slaves descents are living with you, and there are no problem.
Poland did very little as they were overun by germans in 1939.

So you think that all the Poles look like the 2 you have seen one day ?? It's totally wrong. Have you ever been to Poland ? I don't think so.

Not true, Poland has always been a mix of Western and Eastern cultures.
No. The languages have links, that's true, even if Lithuanian is a Baltic language...but I don't think we can assimilate one to another. So Irish people are the same than Austrian people ??...

The Eastern 'border' of Europe is considered to be in the Ural location. So it's only a "tiny" part of Russia which is in Europe...
Poland is for me something like a "North-Central country" as i saw a few times...
Norway is a 'West-Northern' country ;)
No Cyrillic alphabet in Greece, am I wrong ? So, in my opinion, Greece is a Southern country.
Not really. What about Western, Northern or Southern Europe ? Nothing bad.
Well, so if a large chunk of Russia should be considered European, then in 'geographical terms,' Poland should lie in Western Europe, shouldn't she? I wonder where in Europe, in 'geographical terms,' you would locate e.g. Norway?

No, Central. It's said that the center of Europe is in the Cracow area.
Eastern countries write more with the Cyrillic alphabet, while the Western (and Central) all write in the Latin alphabet.
