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

Some people say it's a Central European country, while others say Eastern..
I think i heard that most of the Poles consider themselves as Central Europeans.

I do myself prefer the word Central, more than Eastern, cause "Eastern" makes me think of communism, you know, as the part of Europe that was beyond the Iron Curtain was called Eastern Europe...

What's your opinion ?

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [451]

and all of us are Polish..

Ok ;) But it doesn't mean every Poles are blond and blue-eyed. There are some but not "all".

For my part, i am blond, with green/grey/blue eyes, but i'm the only blond of my family (i'm half French and half Polish). My sister has light brown hair though... ;)

So it would appear that not all Poles are blond and blue eyed then

Aha, blond people are not that common. It's a kind of stereotype. I am myself blond, but almost noone else in my family is.

a very small minority it would seem are maybe red headed

I guess...

Red hair is a part of blond hair gene, but not so many of them in Poland...at least not as many as in the UK ;)

I thought the idea that ALL Poles have blonde hair and blue eyes seemed a bit much

A bit much yes ;)

If ALL Poles are like this, so it's the same for Germans, as there are approximately the same percentage of population with blond hair.

But the country with the most blonds is Finland : 3 persons out of 4 (75%) are blond ;)
Scandinavian countries are just below that i think.
Then comes Poland and Germany with some other countries.

News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]

Poland is poorer than most countries

What are you talking about ???! In Europe or in the world ?
If you compare Poland with western super rich countries who benefited of the US money after World War II, don't. England and France for example had a great help from the the US while Poland was in the hands of communism.

Now the country is rebuilding itself, and the economy is growing very fast, investors love Poland, and salaries are rising too. All that takes a long time.

They never have and they never will. End of story

Totally disagree. We'll see within the next 10-15 years ;)

News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]

The Poles lack everything. When I was in Gdansk a little while ago, I agreed to go to the butcher shop and buy some meet. They cut me off a little white food ration slip with which I could buy the meet!

A little while ago ?? You mean like half a century ??
Poland is a rich country, not as rich as England, France, Germany who are VERY rich countries, but there are a lot of people in Poland that live quite well ! Don't say stupid things like this ;)
