Life / Poles are not racist [873]

Britain is a great country and the British are tolerant fair minded people which is something that most east europeans will never understand

I don't think so. As Seanus said, Poland never had a lot of immigrates, most of people in Poland are Polish, and if not maybe German or another European origin. Do i have to remind you how were treated blacks by Brits, a century ago ? Poles never treated men like sh!t. It took a long time to Britain to be as "tolerant" as it is today, even if there are still racists.

I wouldn't say that Poland will "never" understand", plus you're generalizing, but people's minds will change as it has changed in Britain.

They are homophobic and racist and have a lot to learn from us Brits

Makes me too sad to answer this stupid generalization.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

world war eleven has not yet taken place

And hope it never will ;)

nonimmigration. Fortunatly he is in a very small minority, fueled by right wing newspapers who think of the UK as special and seperate from the EU. When I was interviewed about my move to Poland by the Daily Express they were trying to get me to be negative about Poland and it's people

That's what i thought, thanks hairball ;)

poland is in NO way liberla

Actually it is now.

It is very conservative and overly religious unlike the mainly non religious west.

Portugal, Ireland ?...Even Italy. Maybe not as conservative but religious.

Bulgarians and Romanians are Balkans.Totally different heritage from Ukraine

Yeah, i must say that i was more reserved about these 2 countries...

to convince us

Who are you talking about ?...

you are eastern european

Actually my father comes from extrem-western France and my mother from extrem-western Poland... ;)

every article I read on polish, ukranian, slovakian, bulgarian, romanian immigrants describes them as eastern european

I think Ukrainians, Bulgarians and Romanians are Eastern Europeans. Poles and Slovaks no.

yu are central europeans, with eastern european cultures, language, history, ideology, politics, etc

Actually Polish culture is a mix of Western and Eastern cultures, language is Slavic then more Eastern, i must say, but influenced by many "Western" languages...History is known for being very mixed too. Politics ? Liberalism is Eastern politic ?...

I give up

happy now lol

Sure i am ;)

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

polson I have gave evidance that poland is eastern european culturally, historically, politically, economically etc etc. it is FACT

I don't see the fact, dude. Historically, Poland fought against Germany, and Russia. Against Sweden and Turkey (Ottoma Emp.). Who is the closest ally ?...France was a great ally, as was Britain (and still both are, i guess...)

Apart from the language, don't see how you can classify Poland as Eastern and not Central, Central is now commonly used, not only geographically.

all western media and informaiton resources describe the polish as eastern european

Don't know how are the medias on Britain, but it's the same (apparently) in France. Central is used as often as Eastern, and maybe more (i'd say more).

Depends also on what radio or TV you watch : SS Radio or Panzer TV ;)

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

you are nothing like the british, german or french. we western europeans all share similer languages unlike the poles

Okay then Portuguese and English are the same language ?...

Poland [...] was ruled by eastern european entities historicaly

Hmm...Germany, Prussia, Sweden, Austria ? If they are eastern for you then i agree, Poland is extrem-east ;)

you are eastern european, all western europe knows this, all our media knows this and all of our textbooks in schools know this ADMIT IT

Again wrong, Poland is a so-called "eastern country" only when refering to the Cold War, and the Warsaw Pact. The rest of the time, Poland is a Central European country.

If being Western European is to be like you noimmigration I don't think anyone would want it.

Hehe totally agree ;) For noimmigration, Western Europeans are like Aryens and the "rest" are lower societies...

you are pathetic, the united nations and nato class poland as EASTERN EUROPE wether you like it or not

YOU are pathetic, Poland is said to be a Central European country, wether it pleases you or not.

It irritates me that poles think they are like britain, germany, france, italy, denmark etc when they are not

What's the common point between Italy and Britain ?...Denmark and Spain ?...
The only difference is as you said the standard of living. Why ? Cause Poland was behind the Iron Curtain. That's your definition of "eastern Europe", ex-communist states.

austria is not eastern europe and it has bonds closer to germany, switzerland and lichienstien. Not bonds closer to eastern european countries

Actually, Prague is a more western city than the capital city of Austria, Vienna, which closest big neighbour is Bratislava.

how dare you say that about one of the biggest contributers in the eu, you have no right to bite the hand that feeds you

Please, the so-called hand that "feeds" Polish people, owes Poland something since they wanted them to die, since those wars, since all that centuries of trouble...

I like Germany, Germans are a nice people, but don't start to treat Poles like pigeons, that'd be really stupid.

insignificant little countries like poland

Hei Adolf, didn't know you were on the forum tonight. Btw, Poland is bigger than England, Scotland...oh, yeah, they are not countries, sorry...

poland is a country that has always depended on bigger countries to defend them and support them, we saved them in ww2 and now we are supporting them and increasing their standard of living through eu investment.

So "always" for you means last 50 years ? Are you that stupid ? Poland used to be a great empire too, but seems you don't know much history before 1945...I think you don't know what you're talking about, so please, get some books, check some Wikipedia articles, and then we could talk (maybe).

those countries ruled under the british empire, benefited hugely from the empire

Crap.

i think all eastern europeans look alike. not ALIKE as in they all look the same, just that they all have the same features. it doesnt matter if they are polish, russian, slovak, yugoslavian, bulgarian , even albanian they all have that same look

That's untrue. Poles are not like Russians or Bulgarians for example...where did you get that wrong idea ?...

+ Poles are Central Europeans, hehe ;)

Why is not Norway on the list?

Yeah, i was wondering too...as Norway never really attacked Poland (that may explain why Sweden is not in the list either, even if most of people do like Sweden...).

Norway was ruled by Sweden and Denmark before recovering its independace in 1905 (or around this time...), almost like Poland who was ruled by Germany, Prussia and so on and who became independent in 1918...

Today's relations between Poland and Norway are really good :)
And both cuisines use a lot potatoes...hehe
The reason may come from the last football game between Poland and Norway : 3-0 for Poland...but even in that case, Poles have no reason to dislike Norway (which i'm sure is untrue, Norway is a great country).

Okay so let's begin a PF list of favourite countries :) LoL
