Life / What is Poland's view on obesity? How healthy, fit are Poles? [166]


True but also more people here need to. To compare, the French who were always thin due to drinking red wine with every dinner have started to become heavier but don't want to work to look good. "It appears to me that more people are sitting in cafes smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee than working out ... the French don't see fitness as a lifestyle," says American-born fitness consultant Fred Hoffman, who has lived in Paris for 21 years.

Only 5.4 percent of French people belonged to a health club in 2008, according to the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association, compared with 9.5 percent for Italy, 11.9 percent for the United Kingdom and 16.6 percent for Spain.

LOL And also because Poles weren't to fond of them and didn't want to mix with them.


They do, from what i've read it's Ukrainian, then German, Russian, and Lithuanian. I believe the intermarriage rate between Poles and Lithuanians was the highest except in actual numbers it fell behind due to the low overall Lithuanian population.

Next off-topic post in this thread will be met with a ban. If you want to discuss Polish-Americans, there are plenty of threads covering that very topic.

Pllz, Protestants are really half-way religious, they're wussies for whom Catholicism was too hard. It was the first step to becoming atheists.


Same vice versa

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]

You still have no proof that the majority of Germans living in Poland felt that way, maybe wealthy people or noble how did the majority, the common people feel?


Because they were afraid a historically Polish city, Krakow, was gonna be lost as Gdansk was, large blame for it rests with the Polish King's decision to inviting the Teutonic Knights to Poland and giving them Culmerland which meant being almost surrounded by Germans.

Poles are a proud people we are proud to be Polish, we're proud to be Slavs your problem is BB that you believe we want to be like you we really don't,I know Poles who are rich and have no reason to wish they're German and still point out Germans bad manners, girls "beauty", rudeness and other things.

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]


Because Poland didn't partition Germany and persecute it's people, a German didn''t have a reason to hate Poland if he was born there he could see Poland as his true homeland and feel a Pole. I'm sure you know Germans began settling in Poland in large numbers back in the 12th century, a generation or two they intermarried with Poles ans saw themselves as Poles. That last large German population of Poland who was born in then German lands (Posen, Silesia,Danzig etc.) who lived in large German communities who only lived in Poland for a few decades didn't have time to assimilate and still saw itself as nothing other than German.

Because until nationalism became popular in Poland in late 19th and early 20th century Poland was much more tolerant than other European nations we had no ethnic persecutions or religious wars.


Just cause YOU have Jewish in you doesn't mean most Poles do. Poles mostly mixed with Ukrainians and Germans, i wrote before Jews saw themselves and were seen as different that's why the intermarriage between ethnic Poles and Jews was only 1%. library.flawlesslogic.com/poles.htm

This is from a book written by a Polish Jew.

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]


It's because of historical experiences, In the beginning of 20th century before Poland regained her independence, Poles in former-Polish German lands voted they'll rather be under Russian domination, knowing fellow Slavs would treat them better, except for after Uprisings Poles in Russian Poland had more freedom than in Germany.

If i lived in Russia for most my life i wouldn't mind it, just like i wouldn't mind being called American now.


I was just replying to MediaWatch's comment that no German would ever want to be Polish, which is total bs.

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]


I remember reading a book about the German occupation of Poland, one officer recalled how a polonized German from Płock who just so happened to have the name Goring refused to be seen as anything other than Polish, what made it worse was he was just first generation in Poland.

Then I apologize. Friedrich Nietzsche too felt Polish "Hans von Müller debunked the genealogy put forward by Nietzsche's sister in favor of a Polish noble heritage. It is not known why Nietzsche wanted to be thought of as Polish nobility."

Jesus Christ, I said basically everyone did see themselves as Poles, if he was of German blood it should be noted, no matter what nationality he saw himself as.

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]

He was definitely ethnic German, but in Poland before the 19th century basically everyone who spoke Polish lived in Poland saw themselves as one thing, Polish, just like Copernicus.

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]


Even before that, from the 1500s onwards beside the German-speaking majority the city was home to a large number of Polish-speaking Poles, Polish Jews, and Dutch. After winning the Polish-Teutonic War in 1525 Poland made The Duchy of Prussia it's fiefdom and large numbers of other people came.

Life / Do Russians and Poles get along? [53]

Not quite, the latest genetics tests proved that Russians and Czechs are closest to Polish people, more than even thought up to this point.
"This was also true for us Poles. Genetically, as geographically, we are a North-Central-Eastern European group. Our closest kin are other Northern Slavs, such as Czechs and Russians, while our nearest non-Slavic relatives appear to be North Germans, Hungarians and Swedes. It's a pity the scientists largely ignored the Baltic states, because it's very likely that samples from these countries would also show close affinity to Poles. Novembre et al. managed to test one Latvian, who clustered just north east of the average Polish position." polishgenes.blogspot.com/2008/11/european-genes-mirror-geograph y-from.html
