You know, I was conversating (okay, debating) with a guy one time (I don't remember about what) and I used the term "oxymoron" in reference to one of his statements. He looked me dead in the face, cold serious and said "You're an oxymoron!" It took me a few seconds, as I stared into his angry eyes, to realize that he had no idea what the word "oxymoron" meant. I quickly ended the conversation and never really spoke to him again outside of a few "hello" and "good bye" moments. Thought I would share that with you :)
Enforcing tolerance (which is intolerance). Demanding relativism (which is absolutism).
