Post by: Bocsius on October 15, 2009, 03:21:52 PM: Well, there is that classic Loveline game "Florida or Germany.."

But since Poland isn't Germany (thanks to the US :smug), I guess it can't be Florida.

Default: West Virginia.

Michigan has Ann Arbor, although I suppose that advantage is lessened somewhat by its proximity to Ypsilanti. Ohio, though, is a real contender here.

Borys makes Poland. Hardly know anything about the country, but that's enough.

A lot of pollution, and Polish lingonberry thieves constantly get mistaken for game during hunting season in Sweden. Also, they are really bad at war and prone to complete invasion. And yeah, Borys.

I'd probably hate everything if I was born, raised and currently living in Michigan. Ann Arbor is the sole oasis of enlightenment in this pubic hair on the urinal of mankind.

The UN doesnt include Central Europe as a region even Malek. So stop acting smart.

"Central" sounds made up, as if poor Eastern European countries--like Poland--are re-branding.

Come visit CENTRAL Europe.

Yeah just looking at all the maps and divisions shows how clear everything is in Europe. On one map youre Eastern Europe, on the other Central.

And on both maps, you're still Polish.

Or is Malek just trolling. If he is excuse my tangent.

Post by: brawndolicious on October 16, 2009, 12:30:23 AM: I would just say that it's central europe geographically and eastern europe wrt having been a part of the soviet union.

Tiesto's map suggests Poland is somewhere in the agricultural areas, I guess Nebraska?

They don't measure real literacy, just how many people can read Polish.

I can agree with that.

Nonsense. Mexico is more like Greece. A bit dirty, but also pretty. Poland is just failed industry.
