[@Dinh AaronMk] [quote]So then, why say Poles have a home only in Poland when they are brothers to Russians as you seem to be saying now? [/quote] Ancestral home [quote]And the genetic similarity between the Balts and the Slavs is a relatively weak excuse, by this notion the Russians are also Swedish through the Varangians, and if the Russians are Swedish that means they are Germanic, and if they are Germanic they share inter-relations with the French and the English and by this point - save for the Italians and the Greeks - the entirety of Europe and on into Asia is one giant super-country united in party by genetic inter-relation with one another, and this ignores the entire linguistic and cultural differences arisen in this regions through the thousands of years of European development; they may share the same genotypes, but they all speak different languages, wear different clothes, worshiped different gods, fought different enemies, and so on.[/quote] Not quite the same, you're trying to force me to purity spiral or some other lame trick. Russians aren't Swedish, though Northern ones are vaguely Nordic and do share some brotherhood with them; nevertheless their home is in Northern Russia. They do of course, have similarities with those distant groups but they are still too different, though they should hold the interests of those above those of other even more distant groups like saracens. Relations are not based on lines, they are based on wide overlapping circles or other similar but improper shapes. [quote]If we really are going to hang around and pound on about genetic differences, then we might as throw our hands up in the air and admit barely a percent at best determines the wide-ranging differences in anatomy and all humanity is one race, so let's just give up and become one nation with the whole world as home.[/quote] It is far less than a percent, I'd say at least 50/50 is genetics vs. chance and environment. I don't want to be one nation with one home, people of other groups are too different and I don't really want them in my nation for sure. I don't want my culture erased, I want my green-eyed children and I want my children to speak Belarusian, I want them to look like my kinsmen etc. etc. etc.
