Its interesting to hear this from you just after you pointed out language of some people.

And what is your surprise ?.. Hungarians speak a non indoeuropean language.. their nataional hero is ATTILA...
But Hungary culture has been shaped by roman/christian culture as any other country in Europe..( but some places in the balkan area.. shaped by islamic culture )
Russia is a different matter... even though they thought for a long time that they were the heirs of the Roman Empire ( Tzar means CAESAR...).
Turkey was "europe" till the fall of COSTANTINOPLE..now turkey has deep roots in islamic culture ( not only in islamic culture )
If I discuss with some of the European countries shaped for centuries by Roman and Christian culture... it is obvious that I take into consideration all the aspects that can give interest to the discussion... I can remember many things from the past... such as the roots of language.
PS. I don't intend to insult someone based on the language
And keep in mind, your opponent can remind you that roots of your language is the same with roots of gypsy language. And this isnt only deficiency of your nation, i ensure you. If you face a merciless opponent, there are a lot of free goals to score for him/her.
''Not beautiful, not cute'' people tends to blame opposite. They say that life will be easier if you are good looking. Not sure about you, but as I have heard that several times, I tend to trust on them here. Other words; I have not as high trust to humans (how ''fair?'' humans are) as you do.
