Depends how you define odd.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Not as much as it was, I guess, but still not exactly the norm, is it. Anyway, my point was that almost everyone has something unusual he likes, so there's no need to feel bad about something harmless.
