The statement above is false.

I've seen this one before, and many variations upon it. They're always fun to look at...

*head blows up*

actually that makes sense... because the first statement is false as well, no matter the fact of the second. Truth is impossible.

Both are true and both are false..it's a facate paradox.

it doesn't follow logical rules though, doesn't something need to follow a logical rule before implicating whether or not it is true and/or false?

*becomes inspired to watch The Labyrinth.... again*

lol. It's not necessarily a great philosophical statement as much as a screen-name people can use on msn lol.
Luv ya synthetic:p

Nice. It's like a linguistic version of catch 22.

Let us be quite brunt and say that the first one says the bottom part is true....so we'll say that the top part is false. Please define false. Why? Because false doesn't necessarily mean the opposite, it just means it isn't what it exactly says, usually. Therefore I'd need a definition of false before believing it's a true paradox.

False, something not true.

Thank you, Phage...I thought this was dead.

Anywho.

So the bottom part means the top part is not true. Therefore the top part should mean the bottom part is false, which would mean that the top part is true. So the top part is true, the bottom part is false. Then they change places again, and again, and again, and all the while while they're changing places, it means that both parts have gone from true to false numerous times, which means at any given time, even when it is supposedly true, it could be false due to the previous occurances of falseness.

What do I mean? I mean that it could be lying. Deceiving, telling a tale. Even when things are false they sometimes say the correct thing, because they know the person know they lies.

o_O

If it cant be one or the other completly then its neither or both.Both statements are opinions and have no real relevance.

Also they don't specifically target what statement, they just say above and below, rather than right below or right above, or explain in fuller detail about what statement they are talking about.

And..can you tell I'm bored?
