You seem to be confused. It is not a matter of whether the terms are actually contradictory or not. In other words, it is not a matter of whether TwoByFour or Luvhorses is correct about such a place existing or not. What I addressed is whether TwoByFour correctly understood the meaning of the term "oxymoron". He did understand it correctly and he used it correctly to make his point.
If you wish to argue that no, it was not really an oxymoron because such places can actually be found, that is fine. But that is beside the point of my post. I know what an oxymoron is as well as you do, despite your degree in English, and apparently TwoByFour does too. The whole point is that Luvhorses questioned whether he knew the meaning of the term.
You are correct.
I disagreed with his statement but not his use of the word "oxymoron "
I do lock my doors at night but I certainly would not have to.
A few vacant houses broken into is the extent of crime here in the Ozarks of north Arkansas.
Look at several areas in SC. Greenville, Columbia, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head with the most vibrant being Columbia and Charleston.
for someone who lives here in Lexington just outside Columbia I wont retire here although many do it still gets too cold for me and I will be retiring to florida where my kids and grandkids can come if they want too and have family get together time . The only reason we moved here my husband s job moved us here and he is in agreement we wont retire here .
Los Alamos, New Mexico! Of course, it's at over 8000 feet elevation so gets a little cold in the winter and they roll up the sidewalks at 7 pm. But not a lot of scientists lurking in the dark near ATM machines.
Hmm, maybe I will consider Los Alamos. I would love to hang out with scientists and fellow nerds!

Null set would have been a better choice than oxymoron. Let's get the math majors involved!
