electoral college paradox

People think that it is unbelievable if a presidential candidate wins in the electoral college but has 5 to 10 percent LESS popular vote. This definition shows an absurd and extreme, but illuminating example of how the loser in the presidential election can have an arbitrarily high percentage of the popular votes compared to the winner, i.e., way more then 5 or 10 percent.
Suppose there are 540 electoral votes. Divide the states into two groups, one having 271 votes, the other 269. Suppose in the "271" states, only 1 person in each state votes Democrat, 0 Republican. Suppose in the "269" states, 0 vote Democrat, millions Republican. Then by the electoral college majority, the democrats win but the Republicans have a million times more votes than the Democrats.
In the 2012 presidential election, it initially appeared that we might have an electoral college paradox. But the Democratic popular vote came back up and it was avoided.

Persecution Paradox

The " Christian persecution paradox" refers to the phenomenon whereby the more arguments you wage against a Christian that their actions are wrong or even un-Christian, the more convinced Christians are that their actions are correct and Biblical.

‎"And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake (Mathew 24:9)."

This verse is the main problem. If a Christian does anything in the name of their religion and people react negatively to it, they take it as prophetic proof that they are true Christians. If you protest soldiers funerals in the name of God and people protest you, well, this proves you are a true Christian because you are being "persecuted". If you bomb an abortion clinic, if you violate the establishment clause, if you talk poorly about Jews, and people react negatively, then it's proof you're a true Christian. I bet if some Christian slept with goats and the rancher who owned them got mad, the Christian who slept with goats would say that the rancher's anger is prophetic evidence that the Christian was doing the Lord's work.
Wisconsin passed a law requiring mega-churches to pay taxes on their multi-million dollar income, and Evangelical Christians were more convinced than ever that they were True Christians because they suffer from a persecution paradox. -or - Westboro Baptist Church thinks they are doing God's work protesting soldier's funerals because the complaining survivors of the fallen soldier fuel Westboro Baptist's Christian persecution paradox.

That president is a paradoxymoron because he doesn't know what he believes so he just says things.

Pussy Paradox

A set of dillusional statements made by a man regarding his relations with women. Typically the subject exaggerates his success rate with women even though those around him know the truth.
When Moe referred to himself as The King of All Ass despite the fact that he hadn't been laid in six months, I knew he was using the pussy paradox again.

Detweiler's Paradox

Something that only one person would know the definition to. Anybody else would simply be scrollin around Urbandictionary.com and click on random stuff and read the first defintion to this word and be like: "What... The... Fuck?" and then they'd go hump (or ump) a teddy bear or something because the word Detweiler's Paradox is so erotic.

Nobody knows what it means, they only use it because it'll make them sound really really nerdy and nerds always get the girls as it was shown in revenge of the nerds when the nerds were looking at cheerleader's boobs.

Moral of the story is that ninjas are cooler than pirates.
Jason: "According to Detweiler's Paradox, the internal link between bigfoot and pirates is that both bigfoot and pirates can fly! Eureka!!! My overly enlarged penis is celebrating!"

Erin: "Hey Jason, you ever try decaffeinated coffee? You probably need to lay off the monster too."

Jason: "Don't worry I got that phrase from the inner bowels of my butthole. Otherwise known as Urbandictionary.
