It's only a paradox if you're a mentally handicapped bigot. It makes perfect sense to everyone else.
- It's formally designated as a paradox because of the way it is originally worded. Those who you mention will abuse it to make it non-logical andnnon-sensic; those who understand realize it is formally a paradox but to all practical matters it is a contract, as we have expressed here.
- Or you could be like the teacher in the post, who loves the concept but never happened to think of it...
  
  Nah, I don't need to think about it. It's an astoundingly easy concept to grasp. And it's not a paradox unless you're a pedantic knob. In a civilized society, you don't tolerate outright hatred. Very very very simple. I don't care if Nazis and bigots and transphobes don't understand, because I don't respect them.
