Train bombed in Russia

What isn't true? That the eastern europeans are all crooks and thieves, or that we westerners regard them all as thieves and crooks?

The first one is false, the second is sadly true.

Neither is fully true. You bet most would become pretty uncertain if they were to draw a line on a map of Europe to define the west and the east; and if they heard a name, they would have troubles locating it. Those who are sure about what they mean probably think most foreigners are thieves and crooks, anyway.

Until Poland decides to just get over it, I'm placing the entire country in the loony bin.

It appears that what you mentioned above applies to you to some degree, if to no one else..
