What language would the world speak if your country/people hadn't stopped the *?*

Poor Heresson, the dumb people of Apolyton fail to see the superior importance of Poland for world history. Even today, Poland is the strongest and most influential country which alone claims a moral highground. Why can't the rest of the world see that?

You have to realize, Ecthy, that Eugene of Savoy only beat the Turks and the French.

And he wasn't Polish. And he was gay.

How could he compare with someone who saved Poland from the Turks ?

I was just so close to say this.

molly, please, are you insinuating there's some kind of national bias in some posters' statements?

Funny enough, I wanted to reply to Heresson about Sobieski with the exactly same term as did molly.

Anyway, a famous song about Prince Eugen:

Dux Eugenius, eques purus,
Caesari recup(e)raturus
Urbem, arcem Belgradi
In Danuvio pontem fecit,
Per quem copias traiecit
Ante moenia oppidi.

Ponte facto sine claustro
Possunt *** tormento, plaustro
Transgredi Danuvium.
Ad Semunum tum vallantur,
Inde Turci ut pellantur,
Quis sic fit ludibrium.

Et coorta tempestate
In Augusto accurate
Sunt allata nuntia:
Turcos mondo pabulari,
Quantum posset vestigari,
Ter centena milia.

Quod Eugenius ut audivit,
Tum legatos arcessivit
Ilico *** ducibus.
Diligenter hos docere,
Ut deberent signa ferre
Et prodesset impetus.

In contione est mandatum:
Praestet quisque se paratum
Ipsa nocte media!
Cuncti equis tunc versentur,
Ut *** hoste proelientur,
Quorum vis sit propria!

Equis ilico vehuntur
Atque gladii stringuntur,
Exeunt tum taciti.
Strenuum se praebet pedes
Et virtute certat eques,
Cuncti rixae cupidi.

Libratores super vallum
Adiuvantes ludum malum
Iaciunt librilia:
Glandes parvas et immanis
Turcis mittunt ac paganis,
Ut spargantur in fuga.

Dux Eugenius tegit latus
Velut leo proeliatus,
Generalis maximus.
Ludovicus clamat late:
"O Germani, depugnate
Hostem quemque funditus!"

Ludovicus est privatus
Vita, nondum diu natus:
Plumbo ictus cecidit.
Dux Eugenius valde dolens
Atque illum valde colens
Cis Danuvium sepelit.

Who saved Poland and Austria from the Turks.
Also, Eugene's wars against France are irrelevant. It's the Turkish front that counts in this thread. It's not about who was a greater military leader, but who saved Europe from the Turks.
Also, if Eugene was gay or not, it's irrelevant as well.

If it weren't for silicon valley, you'd all still be using proper english.

But if Eugene hadn't beaten the French at Blenheim, Malplaquet and Oudenard you'd all be speaking French today? Can't you see which is the greater of two evils?

Nah, we'd watch artsy French movies with plenty of full frontal nudity.
