First of all, calling the Vikings criminals is utterly ridiculous as it assumes the existence of some kind of timeless, eternal and universal law code implemented and sanctioned through out the world and the ages. Secondly, the Vikings only did what every single people in this world has been doing in some form with the difference perhaps being in that the Vikings were particularly good at doing it. The fact that the Vikings have earned themselves a respected place in history is because they were a fierce, proud and awesome people strong enough to do as they liked, and whether or not what they did was right or wrong by our modern Western moral standards, their basic attributes that are mentioned above are in fact sexy and appealing to the human mind as they are Alpha-male qualities. Strength and dominance are always respected.

The truth is, all those Vikings, Romans, Saxons and whoever, were goin into places which was not theirs and taking things which did not belong to them. On side of that they often murdered locals, In my book its called invasion and theft. burlglary or robbery and finally murder.

I understand people going into new places, seeking opportunities, but you knock at the door and say 'good morning', while those would rather welcome you with an axe in your forehead.

So in all your judgementalness I suppose you also think all non-Polish Slavs have no moral right to the lands they are currently inhabiting and should return to the marshes in South Eastern Poland?
