Russia has still got half of 'Old Poland' and that should suffice unless of course, Poland wants to buy it back!

Oh boy.
So now it appears you don't know basic geography of the area.

You know what?
You go ahead and complete grade 5 education, then come back and we'll talk, OK?

I know that Poland still wants some of its land back and I do not need to finish any education to know that.

Yes, but that is different as it is a keying error as my mind works at a different speed from my fingers as I am an untrained typist. Words like dude and gee man, sidewalk ect are simply American idioms to hide Polish ansestory and linguistic weakness-that is something quite different.

I am unaware of any territorial claims by Poland.
Can you provide me with some links that would indicate otherwise?

Russia certainly does not occupy anywhere near 1/2 of Poland's former territories. Therefore Russia can neither sell, or give any of those territories back. Ukraine, Byelorussia and some Baltic states might be in that position. And that's what I meant by your lack in education. You think you know what people think/want, but you have no idea about some basics of the region's geography, therefore your own thoughts are based on nothing more than just your thoughts which have been proven baseless so many times on this forum

Now finish your education and then we can debate instead.

Escaped?
I never escaped any country. I was invited to the US to continue my studies in the English Department of Vanderbilt University.

I never called you "brainless'. If I thought you were brainless then it would have been silly for me to hope you can eventually get some knowledge that would allow you to debate, instead of arguing (which you have promised to stop)

I like the shape of my country and I don't feel any need to change it ;) However there are some people who argue - it's perfectly normal.

And I think Poland is in Western Europe. Russia is really big and has all east side for itself ;)

Sorry for my English, it's not very good.

No, Central. It's said that the center of Europe is in the Cracow area.
Eastern countries write more with the Cyrillic alphabet, while the Western (and Central) all write in the Latin alphabet.

Central! It was always central, and it will be. The only time it ever could have been considered as Eastern was during the cold war; because of retarded politics.

:)
To my understanding, the East-West division in Europe is also racial one. Check out how they use these terms in German countries - Germany, Austria. And, of course, the media racists and psychopaths, also in UK, keep the division and stereotyping alive.

I consider Greece as a Southern country.

Maybe, but in geographical terms, there is a difference between East and West, North and South...

- Well, so if a large chunk of Russia should be considered European, then in 'geographical terms,' Poland should lie in Western Europe, shouldn't she? I wonder where in Europe, in 'geographical terms,' you would locate e.g. Norway?

- I wonder why? You seem to think that Eastern European countries are those where the Cyrillic alphabet is being commonly used, don't you?

It seems that, after all, the term 'Eastern Europe' is a racial term.

It is interesting that it's the United Nations that keeps this term alive....

The Eastern 'border' of Europe is considered to be in the Ural location. So it's only a "tiny" part of Russia which is in Europe...
Poland is for me something like a "North-Central country" as i saw a few times...
Norway is a 'West-Northern' country ;)

No Cyrillic alphabet in Greece, am I wrong ? So, in my opinion, Greece is a Southern country.

Not really. What about Western, Northern or Southern Europe ? Nothing bad.

Greek alphabet was the basis for Cyrilic, compare the two and you will see that they are very similiar.

Why get all riled up by trollers and pedants who argue about something that doesnt really matter or have any effect on your life or the life of the good Polishvolk
