it's not irony. It's logic. People who are hawks are cold and callous and not emotional. People who are doves are sensy, emotional blatherers.

Another thing I've noticed is that people who like Italian food can turn around and (in the same breath, mind you) tell you they enjoy camping trips with their families. Now if that aint irony....

Lelaina: Can you define "irony"?
Troy Dyer: It's when the actual meaning is the complete opposite from the literal meaning. |

I think it's ironic nobody has challenged the OP's premise.

Irona is way more interesting than the OP's premise.

I am against all the war we have. If I wanted a war, I would start a war.

okay so I was thinking about "it's like rain on your wedding day". People generally don't consider this to be ironic, but if you were one to think your wedding day is "the most beautiful day of your life", wouldn't bad weather then be somewhat ironic?

Jon and Kate made me forget all about the war(s).
Also, all that snow in the mid-Atlantic. Not to mention Christmas. That took a lot of time and attention. Now we have the Olympics for two weeks. And all that time I have to spend deciding if I should bother figuring out or caring about Lost (probably not). Listen, I can get back to the war(s) sometime after Easter, which does come early this year. |

The problem here is that people lack basic self-restraint. I can make any subject off-limits by just ignoring it. I would tell your brother that I choose not to discuss it with him ever again and I would NEVER discuss it with him again. It is so stupidly simple. Arguing with people who are deeply entrenched in their beliefs is foolish. |

Your brother is just a dude who's a little smarter than you, seemingly incompetent of informing you in any real way, and very frustrated about it. Since this is a "discussion of irony" and not a "political discussion," I'll say this: I find it particularly ironic that you find more violence in your brother's actions than you do in the violence of your acculturation or the violence seen everyday in Iraq and Afghanistan. |

When I see you use a word like "acculturation" or a variant thereof, it's almost as adorable as when Bobby Brown learned the word "prerogative."

Only read the first post, but from my experience when people talk politics:
If they shove their viewpoint down your throat and act like opposing viewpoints are downright stupid = Democrat. If they express their viewpoint = Republican. |
