With some precautions all of you is right, we finally all act the same way in this world, a tiny 1% difference once amplified can bring to surface some shadings, that DailyCandor and your 591 posts expanded further.

I am italian and can find some traits of myself and the-italian-way in your posts, amplified of course !
This because each of us here reported her/his own personal view, direct experience, believe, understanding, guessing etc etc that is, has amplified and made a caricature of that 1% I mentioned above.

Power of internet … we can all share our views in a very openly manner.
That’s freedom, we all want it, we all like it, we all must allow for it; this is one of the most important things all people have (and must have) in common.

Ciao

i just wasted an hour by reading this! but i SERIOUSLY have to study for my final examen now!!

I WANT MY HOUR BACK!! that was a joke by the way…you see one tries to be funny here in germany as well.

have a good one everyone

DailyCandor: I lived in Poland near the Czech and Slovak borders, and there was a lot of antipathy against “Pepiks.” Maybe further away from the border, sentiments were neutral or even positive.

I find this really interesting. Even though stereotyping can’t be helped, Every Scottish person I have met hasn’t declared hatred for England, but i have heard that is their general feeling. Personally I think there’s nothing wrong in saying i am European, as that is the continent I am from, and even though I don’t completely understand the feeling ‘to be European’, I’m sure this could be said for all European countries as we are all distinct in culture. The only country I may hold some contempt for would be America. Not hatred for it’s beauty, which I have traveled extensively, or for my own american friends (those Americans whom I felt could be my friend anyhow) but for the disgusting commercialism, complete stupidity when it comes to their stubborn dedication to their faith, and the outright dishonesty of their media. For example, Tv shows which defend circumcision and lie about it despite the scientific truths of the immorality of it. The failed debates with Dawkins and Hitchens on evidence against the bible (fair enough accepting that god could have spurred on evolution, but educated philosophers spreading the literal truth of the bible is just mind-bogglingly idiotic). LYING about British healthcare on news stations (A girl on British TV was outraged that her words were edited to show a bad view of british healthcare) just to brainwash their own people into believing that they should pay crazy sums of money to protect their own lives, knowing this money is going into the hands of big corporations and even State governers, and are just left to die if jobless and ill. I do love America but these things are detrimental to the country. Though myself an expat i am fully aware of the downfalls of the UK.

DailyCandor: Portraying Brits as being Americans’ lapdogs isn’t true but it’s a charge that does elicit its desired effect. I’d say your comment demonstrates that nicely.

Now the question of “nuestros hermanos”. It’s a kinf of sad that E.U.A. and other countries think that we do’nt have a language, we are simply spanish. For those, i recommend that you read some of our great writters, and then, we can talk. And it’s true that we don’t like you very much. I am not saying why, i think that if you read some articles you will understand why.
In respect to music, we are not the bests and our music isn’t real known but we sure have good singers, like Rui Veloso, Pedro Abrunhosa, José Cid, Sara Tavares, etc.
Now some stereotypes, it’s true that when you talk to a portuguese about history, you’re doing a big mistake. The older people have the habit to discuss that. It’s a lost cause so, if your smart, you won’t talk about that.

So come and visit us, you won’t regret. Really.

Thanks for this interesting survey.

Not true. Poles really like Czechs. According to the CBOS (Public opinion research center), the Czechs are the most liked people by Poles. 51% of Poles declare sympathies to the Czechs, 12% dislike, 31% neutral and 6% have no opinion

“probably still fear them a bit — you never, ever hear jokes about Germans in Poland”

We have jokes about the Germans (he was a Pole, German and Russian …, how to distinguish a German woman from German cows? On earrings, germany, why can not cope with floods? Because their can not shoot).

Poles (despite appearances) do not hate the Germans, according to CBOS 38% of Poles like Germans, 27% not like, 31% are neutral and 4% have no opinion.

do not know if anyone is interested but will give the relationship Poles to other nations (especially European)

so:

CBOS (2011year):

Roma/Gypsies 22% 24% 49% 5%

Among nations most liked by the poles are Czechs and Slovaks. About half declare they like these nationalites. Slightly fewer people say they like the Spanish, Italians, Hungarians,the French and the Dutch. In all these cases positive opinions are several times more frequend than negative ones.

At least two fifth of adult Poles have positive opinions about the English,Americans, Greeks, Norwegians, Swedes, Belgians, Finns, the Irish and the Japanese. The number of positive opinions about Austrians, Danes, Croatians, Lithuanians, Georgians, Bulgarians, Estonians and Latvians is still higher than negative views but there are almost as many people who admit they have a neutral attitude to these nations. With regard to the Germans, there are more people who like this nationality than do not like it, but positive opinions out number the negative ones only by 11 percentage points.

Neutrality is the most frequently expressed feeling towards Belarusians, the Chinese, the Vietnamese, Armenians, and Serbs and positive are only slightly more frequent than the negative attitude. In case of Russians, Ukrainians,Turks and Chechens, respondents are divided into three, comparably large, groups (negative feelings are expressed only slightly more often than positive or neutral feelings). However, with regard to Jews the division of opinions is perfectly even.

The Roma, Arabs and Romanians are the least liked nations of all the nationalities included in the survey
