So opening borders to unlimited emigration without any ID shows commitment to UE?
As large part of German population is still willing to take more co -called 'refuges' it is part of TV/press brainwashing and propaganda in Germany and part of their eternal feeling of guiltiness.
WHY ARE OTHER COUNTRIES TO FOLLOW IT ?????
. They are questioning how committed some countries really are to the EU, and rightfully so.

I remember from school times ( ages ago) that about 80% children had blue or green eyes....I was odd one with brown ones. So as per saying 'exception confirms the rule'.....I would say I has been like this in Poland for a while.
Us siblings always wrote it off as milkman, mailman and her husband. :-)

What does it mean for a while?.... 1 hundred....2 hundred years. I think in each country there is some kind of mode- people with certain feature.....north Europe....south Europe....South America....
Anthropologist, historian have studied these subjects for years so I wouldn't treat this subject in such a superficial matter.
countries only exist for a while, then change shape or name or disappear. wherever the border is redrawn becomes the new nationality ...

That is true but it depends how long you live abroad some emigrants ( with time) get more and more similar to locals.
I have friend - English- her family comes from Liverpool.
She is very pretty - Quite a few people asked her/thought that she was Polish. Not sure why...general her look ,clothes she wears...mannerism....she has zero polish roots.
I don't think it's about hair/eye colour or height/body built, it's more about some looks you kind of have seen and associate with Poles.

I usually distinguish Slavic look like Polish, Chech, Slovakian. I always thought that I look Polish but my first job in UK was customer orientated and some people asked me if I was Italian...Spanish (I have brown eyes and slightly dark complexion) ....no one asked me if I was Polish. I remember one man asked me if I'm Scottish - I guess it was my accent :-)
Yet there are still people I see abroad that look 'Polish' to me. Judging from my own experience, I look Polish, too. And I'm not blonde (even though I was as a kid).

One of the main reasons crime in Poland has fallen so much over the last 13 years is that we exported a lot of our scum.

That is true I always remember Poland when I left. Even I visit few times a year as we have flat in Krakow but visiting is different to living and working there.
On positive side -at every visit I see difference and it is rather good one.I think we are much more open now. Polish visit different countries in Europe ( for work, holidays) Foreign companies invest in Poland. There is this perception that we never smile and look gloomy. I think it changed too....people on the street look much more relaxed and smile more.

That is not what I said....Can you imagine situation like this in Poland- Organised groups of Asians rape, exploit young girls from broken ,dysfunctional homes.
Some people ( including these girls) try to notify authorities about it but they are dismissed as Police/Social Services don't want to get involved and accused of being racists. So it was going for years...
Criminals are everywhere but it is Police job to catch and punish them and they did not do it what I think is SHAMEFUL.
So... it's the native British population's fault?

Rotheram is not good example- lots of these rapists were born in UK- but political correctness and a bit British 'culture' that if you brush problem under the carpet it does not exist caused it.
