To group all of Slavic speakers together

[Magnolia]

But Czechs and Slovaks do still get along well, despite their long history of separate development. That's more than your relationship with Poles, right? Your state cultures are of course different. You get along best as neighbours of sovereign states.

You can't even compare it. Yes relationships between Czechs and Slovaks are in general good, I have heard many Slovaks bitching about us, but hardly any Czechs bitching about them. Judging by the number of them who are in the CzR I doubt that the majority of them has something against us.

With Poles it is a totally different story. There are no special relationships between us and them. We totally ignore them (I'm not sure but maybe in Silesia where the Polish minority lives it is different, but the rest of the country... a total boycott). I don't know where internet Poles got that impression that there is a closeness between our nations.

Slavic is just a language group genetically slavs are not the same. also culture is different

[Dandelion]

I agree though. It's just a language group. Otherwise we could also pull this through for Indo-European. Also spread from one language spoken by a certain culture initially.

Slovakia's treatment of Jozef Tiso is the most difficult point for a Czech to digest I would assume. To most Czech, an evil man, but in their country many people still adore him.

I recognise a lot of Flemish in Slovaks, in their mentality. Typical for a people with a struggling identity where they either try too hard to be traditional or desperately cling unto few of their nationalist leaders even when in reality they were sellouts and anything but admirable.

Today Germanics are only divided in two ways only, West Germanics and North Germanics aka Scandinavians. Scandinavians are very often grouped together by many and by default West Germanic are grouped too. You gonna cry now because we don't use West and North designation as often?

Slavs are a bit more divided because of numerous reasons and for a reason people often use north, east and south divide.

Okay, from now on we will respect Czechia's individuality or we will group Czechia with West Germanics so you can cum anytime.

Could you give me a proof about that? I'm waiting...

West Germanic are grouped too.

no they aren't.
Scandinavia/Nordic countries = even a non Germanic ethnic group is included.

+ I am not sure how many people think of Denmark when Scandinavia is said.

Nordic Germanic countries so we can also include Iceland. Better now? Or just Nordics (with Finland or not, it doesn't matter).

It does matter. These countries are grouped together for geographical, historical, cultural reasons.

What has in common Bosnia and Belarus?

Both names start with the letter B

Most Slavs (at least South) would love if Bosnia could be wiped from the face of the Earth. But, you have just answered your own question, that is the very muthafucking reason why people use so much West, East and South designations when referring to Slavs.

Where logic fails there must be a hidden agenda. As usual just another 'Czechs have nothing to do with Poles, I want to talk about it all day long, but I need to come up with a different approach so I wouldn't be seen as repetitive' thread.
