| | + | ==''Britain's attitude against the underdog is common knowledge''== |
| | + | |
| | + | Aschlafly, you claim that the British don't favor the underdog. OTOH, there seems to be a fine tradition in Great Britain to stand up for the ''little man'' - and the bookies don't complain that no one is ever betting on the outsider. |
| | + | |
| | + | I don't recall that Hollywood changed ''Karate Kid'' or ''Rocky'' to please the British market. Nevertheless they were successful over there, more successful than ''Apollo Creed - the movie'' could ever have been. |
| | + | |
| | + | The whole ''mystery'' seems to be made up! In fact, the root seems to be the following reasoning: |
| | + | |
| | + | *Aschlafly doesn't like atheists. |
| | + | *Aschlafly likes underdogs (with the possible exception of [[North Korea]]). |
| | + | *Therfeore atheists don't like underdogs. |
| | + | |
| | + | For those who think ''wait, that isn't fallacious enough for me'', another gem is thrown in: |
| | + | |
| | + | *Stalin was an atheist. |
| | + | *Stalin '''''probably''''' didn't like underdogs- |
| | + | *Therefore atheists don't like underdogs. |
| | + | |
| | + | Aschlafly, obviously you can't cave in in front of the many critics above: the more critics there are, the more wrong they have to be, as you become an underdog yourself. |
| | + | |
| | + | Unfortunately, sometimes the underdog fights for the wrong side. |
