The oxymoron thread


The Bomber

Recommended Posts

Easiest way you may understand it is to think of a magnetic field. The north poles of magnets repel each other, as do the south poles. Put the opposite poles together and they attract.

First comes love, then comes marriage. Then comes Stevie in a baby carriage. Comprende?

Try this:

ox·y·mo·ron premium.gifthinsp.pngspeaker.gif /ˌɒkthinsp.pngsɪˈmɔrthinsp.pngɒn, -ˈmoʊr-/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ok-si-mawr-on, -mohr-] Rhetoric. a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in "cruel kindness" or "to make haste slowly."

How is "gay marriage" a figure or speech, or using that definition....an oxymoron? Gay marriage is not incongruous or self-contradictory. Marriage is a state in which two people are bound together in the eyes of the law and/or the church, if the two people marrying are religiously-minded. Is the concept of two men or two women bound together in the eyes of the law nonsensical or something?

Help me to figure this out.

Oh so true Electrophile,THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO BASH GAYS!!!

Seriously,most of them are really cool people,did you know Saint Peter (Yes,the one who guards the gates of heaven) was gay?Maybe Plant would have been better off blowing his horn to get into heaven?So,i'd imagine gays have a good chance at getting into heaven.
