Life / Polish and Czechs [191]
Here is something I got from a website, I don't really agree with it though:
What Europeans think of each other
The Poles — Not much seems to register about Poland and the Poles except that they’re quiet. They are a relatively big country (40 million people) so the supposed scare of being overrun by Eastern Europeans when a bunch of Eastern European countries joined the EU in 2005 focused in on the Poles. The Germans really don’t like Poles, and among Germany’s 9 neighbors, are disliked the most. Poland is considered a country of car thieves by the Germans. Really, the relationship between Germany and Poland is similar to that of the United States and Mexico, and often for many of the same reasons (differences in income, history of war, different languages, etc.).Poles really shore up their hatred for their eastern & southern neighbors, primarily Russia and Ukraine, although they don’t like Czechs, Slovaks or Lithuanians either. Oddly, they don’t really mind the Germans, and probably still fear them a bit — you never, ever hear jokes about Germans in Poland.
The Czechs — Considered a relatively bright spot of Eastern Europe by Western Europeans, but I think primarily because Prague is such a gorgeous city and a popular tourist destination. Czechs are a bit like Germans, though — a bit rude, blunt, and cold. Poles don’t have much good to say about them.

Life / Polish and Czechs [191]
I would think Lithuanians because Poland and Lithuania used to be one nation.
Definitely not the same language however was derived from the same language as Polish. Many Czechs and Poles can still communicate with each other speaking their own languages and most will be understood.
What nationality likes us?

More or less the same language, not really, it's from the same school of languages but there are clear differences. I can understand parts of Czech radio but not so much

Life / Cannabis / Weed in Poland... How much does marijuana cost per gram and how easy is to get it? [355]
Well it was proposed to decriminalize up to 15 grams but it never passed. I think the law right now is up to 5 grams you only get a small fine.

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]
This thread is ridiculous. I can understand what you mean about distinctive features but I don't think looks are defined by nationality. Sometimes I see someone and find out their nationality afterwards and it makes sense because of some of their facial features but as for bodies, everybody's is different there is no distinct body type for any nationality and I don't think it is possible to guess every single nationality correct in a line up of Europeans...
