Genuinely curious, what's the Poland of USA?

Some southern state full of distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

Hm... maybe Michigan. I think PD is the Borys of America.

Well, there is that classic Loveline game "Florida or Germany.."

But since Poland isn't Germany (thanks to the US

), I guess it can't be Florida.

Default: West Virginia.

I wonder how many American states have a literacy rate of 99.8% or a homicide rate of 1.28 per 100,000.

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

In actuality, it seems Poland may very well be our Poland.

What quality makes Poland, Poland? If its just distinguished mentally-challenged fellow density, then it has to be Texas. I am certain that there is some "six degrees of separation" analysis where everything shitty over the last 20 years has some relationship to Texas.

Buffalo, specifically the suburb of Cheektowaga. Lots of polacks there. Unfortunately, it being Buffalo, most of them are fat $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

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 wouldn't pick one state in particular- instead I'd give it to a region, like Appalachia. Backwoods, poorly educated, bad teeth and don't like outsiders/black people.

There isn't internal population pressure of that big a margin here to warrant a comparison AFAIK. We just put shitholes like South Carolina on welfare. I wish someone would invade them. (Again.)

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.

Why can't Central Europe be a subdivision of Eastern Europe? It's a bit nonsensical but that's how I've usually arranged it.

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

brawndolicious · « **Reply #36 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.
