History / Poland in a Slavic Union/Alliance/Federation? [335]


lol just like the Greeks think they're pure descendants of Plato, Socrates, and Sophocles. Not to mention the Macedonians who think they're pure descendants of Alexander the Great and his armies, or the Serbs who think they were a medieval superpower; or the Turks who think they actually have ancient history with all those Greco-Macedonian monuments on their land. Oh the joys of Balkan delusionment.


Not really....in fact I am 100% positive that it's the other way around. Of course maybe the Balkans are just as religious as the Turks ;-)


Yes just like every other allied nation, however modern Israeli tensions between them are tense. Which is why we ought not confuse Israeli nationalism with the foundations of religious Jews.


Why not say the same about Greeks? I respect Turks, and on the contrary I have met Albanians who hate Turks. An individualist point of yours is too generalized. It's like me saying all Poles love Russians because I met a couple who do.


lol, last time I checked, the Serbs and the Greeks had a very close "brotherhood". I have met Serbs who liked me purely because I was half Greek. I honestly have no idea why, but they say it's something common in the religion and history...go figure @_@ But then again I have heard people say Greeks and Turks are very close in commonality.


SMART serbs is where nationalism dies....good riddance.

News / A devestating verdict on the Polish church [279]


Well that scares some people as well. But as Torq said, it's about living eternally outside of ones mortal coil and where matters such as time, simply don't exist. Goes back to the Einstein-ian question of what really makes up time, and if there truly is a "forever".


Since when does biology prove all there is to know and beyond? Not even quantum physics can do that. Biology concentrates on what it partially knows of the mortal life here on earth.

History / Poland in a Slavic Union/Alliance/Federation? [335]


What are you smoking....?

A "slavic" union never benefited Poland in the past and it won't in the future. The EU is suiting Poland just fine, the amount of industry, infrastructure, civics, and monetary/fiscal relations built from it cannot simply be relinquished and abolished.

Besides, what would be so "slavic" about it? Slavic is a term to regard a genetic group of ethnicities, seeing as how you've already made it into a melting pot through theory, what basis would this "union" stand?

It's a nice place. I am a greek pole and have been there many times and have been well welcomed. The people are nice, but due to emigration most people there are turks and Poles are under 100 I believe.

Most Polish girls here Chicago dye their hair blonde still. But truth is most Polish women have brunette hair naturally, and the only black haired ones I've seen are naturally like that.

Might genetics have a cause on the troubles caused by guns? After all genetics undoubtedly affects education, income, and IQ to a certain extent...

You'd be surprised how many Greek Slavs there are.

Indeed, genetic tests have shown that Poles truly are a Slavic nation, I mean there is some germanic blood but not enough to make a plausible argument.

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]


True, this never solves anything.

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]

Yes American Imperialism, we all know about it and it's why I'm a liberal and not a conservative. These people rot many things and prevent a pure democracy. But like Plato said, democracy existing in pure form would be a form of Utopia and by human nature that is very hard to exist. Also I am not naive, you are rather that for thinking all Americans are the same. Have you not seen the tea party movements and the fights in congress? Also, I might live in America but there are tons of things here I don't agree with.

Also why would you respect that? Anyone who thinks the world should be ruled in unipolar power under their own country is a fool. Very much like the Nazi's. But you cannot deny that there are tons of nationalist problems in the Balkans (of course it's not as serious as in some places in mainland europe where people are killed) but still...

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]


The differences that go by INDIVIDUALITY...do you seriously think people think because of their ethnicity? One would have to be a delusioned uneducated nationalist to be influenced so strongly...


Indeed...


Funny...here in America you guys are defined as the bird we eat. Just because words are spelled the same doesn't adhere the same meaning.


What power? Poland is a modern democracy. All you Balkan fools still cry about you precious empires from the dark ages because you're too nationalistic too advance. It's always the Turks with the Ottoman Empire, the Greeks with Ancient Greece, the Macedonians with Ancient Macedonia, Bulgarians with Byzantium....SIGH...get real. The more you accept that your existence has nothing to do with those things the more you will accomplish as an individual and respect others. Nationalism is nice, but ultranationalism is a poison.


Like I said, these Balkaners have no sense of modern democracy...


It's all Vodka. Just like many foods and drinks, the Turks and Balkaners ripped it off the Persians or Europeans, tweaked a few things and named it their own... (please don't take this seriously, I'm only mocking...)

You killed the thread southern...good work... @_@

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]


I concur, I'm sick an tired of a few Greeks being related to the Middle east because some have a little Turkish blood in them. There are no Turks who are Arabs. Arabs are BROWN skinned indo-middle eastern peoples. Turks by majority might have dark hair, but most of Europe is dark haired and so statistics have shown:



Most Turks have olive skin with brown eyes which is a typical Mediterranean feature. You find this all over Spain, southern France, Italy, the Balkans. Ass for the few Aryans there, they are descendants from northern people. Most blonde individuals with Aryan features found in the Mediterranean usually have Slavic genes or Germanic. I have even met turks and Greeks who have Scandinavian blood in them. Turkey isn't an Arab country, they are Mediterranean.


There really aren't that many Ukrainians in turkey you know. Greece is nearing over 150,000 to 200,000 of them mainly because of the same religion they share. Most of them come on visas and stay longer since the government doesn't care to check for it.

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]

Southern is a fake Greek who has come on here to make me look bad. Please pay no attention to him, he still lives in the 1800's fighting the Ottomans and pumping his musket (no pun intended ;-)

Anyway, as far as your "slavic comfort" goes, try being half Polish like me. Since you're 100% macho Balkan Mediteraneanoid you might as well get along with your Turkish friends down there and learn to play ball. Now stop whining and play nice or there will be no soup for you tonight...

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]


What an idiotic generalization, that's probably true of 5% of Greeks...


No one is "Number ONE". How long did you think Byzantium was going to last? All empire collapse, and eventually everyone would become a democracy...

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]


Yea that's what people stereotype about Greeks from Ottoman times. It's idiotic, and it holds less validity than Jews hating Germans, or Poles hating Russians which is near nonexistent in modern day.

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]

Yea as a Greek I love Turks too. But damn, I didn't know the Irish had it so bad for the Turks after reading these comments...

That's not true, J2 only constitutes 21% of Greece. And E1b1b1 comes from small fragments of the Ottoman Empire...


Again those genes originated in the Middle East, not Africa. And fyi I am Greek and have tested my genes with iGenea and don't have any African genes, maybe you should pull some money out of your pocket to do the same since you like bragging about your genetic "superiority" so much. Put the facts out on the table for us.

You guys are missing the point, it says HAVE THE MOST GENES IN A GROUP. The topic isn't that Poland is related to the Balkans, it's that these are the countries which have the most haplogroups in them (not that they're related).... in other words these countries are the most mixed genetically in Europe. The topic is about who has the most mixed genes, not relatedness.
