    Default The Anglosphere is the only thing that keeps the world from descending into barbarism

    UK USA CAN AUS NZ

    Correct Assertion
    Fasle assertion
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    False assertion, but only because hell can be civilized.
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Be grateful that you live in a civilised world today. Had it not been for the Anglos, you'd be speaking French now. The Anglo-Saxon civilisation saved the world from being conquered and exploited by the French. Of course, we did it by conquering and exploiting it ourselves, but c'est la vie.

    If you ask me.Comparing Anglosphere and France is like comparing Black pudding and Chateaubriand. ;)

    Krast listens to funny people talking. Talking in funny words, that are not Krast's simple, easy-to-speak barbarian language.

    Maybe one day, Krast's world will be transformed, no more funny talking people, only barbarian talking people and then Krast can finally hang up his axe, job well done.

    Gah.

    The west has for a long time taken some pride in being the bearers of civilization...



    Asians however also have a (even longer) history of functional and stabile nation building...


    Africans? Not so much, or at all. Same goes with the aborigines, they never reached beyond tribal hunter/gatherers (much like Africans at large)...


    So is the Anglosphere the ONLY thing? No... But it is a very important contributor.

    I dont want to go the whole Indoeuropean she bang, its getting old. But if you had let us Finno-Ugrians deal with things. We might be now drinking all bit too much and the birthrate might get bit down because the whole drunkenness thingy, but anyway world without Indoeuropeans= better world. :D

    But you got your arses handed to you in 100 year´s war and that is the real pain in the arse for the Englishmen. But in a sense French showed you that you should be masters of the waves. :)

    Your whole language is based around speaking Latin whilst stinking drunk. Yeah, OK, you saved us from the Muslim Hordes way back when and Charlemagne re-introduced silver coinage, but what have you done since?

    Pain in the arse and feather in the cap, by all rights england shouldnt have been capable of matching the french juggernaut yet it was only the bad fortune of henry V dying too soon that cost us the war.

    "henry V dying too soon that cost us the war." NOt a debate we can have here, as no one in France is convinced the treaty would have been respected. For the same reason that STARTED the 100 years war. What lost England the war was Castillon (and the ones before).

    "Your whole language is based around speaking Latin whilst stinking drunk. Yeah, OK, you saved us from the Muslim Hordes way back when and Charlemagne re-introduced silver coinage, but what have you done since?" Apart Rousseau, Voltaire, Universal Human Rights and metric system? Well we helped you in getting USA out of your way, and showing you how to run successful strikes...
    And we did our share in invading ooops, civilizing the rest of the world, thank you...
