Paradoxes and Oxymorons

[rabbit]

You're making the assumption that completely true and completely false are the only possibilities but your statement makes no restriction such that the assumption is necessary.  My example restricts all possibilities to completely true or completely false.

"This sentence is false"  can be partially true and partially false and still work ;)

I'm assuming boolean interpretation, where a single thing, as defined by the sentence ("this sentence") is either true or false.  It's explicitly stated that the sentence is talking about the sentence as a whole, not parts of it.

You just proved my point, you're assuming something but not making the claim within the statement ;)

AHAHAHAHAHA
I bet one of our clan mates is black and is going to "bust a cap in your ass."

I think Deuce would more effectively mentally torture him. :P

I wouldn't sexually touch a Klan member. But that hurt Towelie. It hurt.  :'(

I think my favorite oxymoron is what Joe was trying to achieve:
You're special, just like every one else.

Special isn't a descriptive property.  If you have a box of crayons of all different colors, you could address as single crayon: "You're unique crayon in the box, just like all of the other crayons in the box" and not be presenting it with a paradox.

I see your point. But usually if you think just that they are special, and not what is special about them it's a little more enjoyable. I mean, if they're special, and every one else is special, then no one is special. You're splitting up the specalities that every one has, this isn't the point of the lame joke. The point is to re-enforce sterotypes, and that's it.

But, you're cute when you're angry.

Black polar bears.

Polar bearsare black.. They have black skin, but they have transparet hair that looks white from the light refracting in it.

Their skin is black.  That doesn't mean that a natural, healthy polar bear is black.  I have a nack for getting into stupid arguments.  This was one of them.  That's why Ergot mentioned it. :P
