November 27, 200520 yr I was thinking.... isn't the sentence below a paradox? "I am a compulsive liar" this has nothing to actually do with "I" myself but should be looked at as a statement
November 27, 200520 yr No, it's not necessarily a paradox seeing as a compulsive liar lies excessivly, not 100% of the time. A paradox would be "Everything I say is a lie", or something like that. Gamertag: King Arizona
November 27, 200520 yr just.. shut up.. oh oh! what about this: The following is false, the former is true. <-that right? Otherwise, just shush you. C'YEA H0'KAY
November 27, 200520 yr It's a different version of a famous Greek philosophical dilemma: "All Cretans are liars," said the Cretan.

November 28, 200520 yr just.. shut up.. oh oh! what about this: The following is false, the former is true. <-that right? Otherwise, just shush you. That's easy, the first part is true, the last part is false ;) That's what my junior high math teacher said when I showed it to her I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

November 28, 200520 yr I have a suggestion... No more thinking :). All of you :P. Lol but seriously... I would say no its not... because yeah as the person a few statements up said... "this does not mean 100%" Dru89's Last.fmDru89's TIF Blog

November 28, 200520 yr I think people are getting confused with paradox and oxymorons. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
November 28, 200520 yr I think people are getting confused with paradox and oxymorons. I don't think so, they seem to be almost the same thing with an oxymoron being generally much smaller and a paradox being a phrase. An apparently true statement that seems to lead to a contradiction or to circumstances that defy intuition. (logic) A self-contradictory statement. 1. A figure of speech in which two words of opposing meanings are used together to express two contrasting qualities in one concept. "Bitter-sweet" is an example of an oxymoron; memories that are bitter-sweet are both painful and pleasant to recall. 2. (non-standard) A contradiction in terms. I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
November 28, 200520 yr I thought a paradox was something that meant/caused something, which makes it begin that original something. For example: "I eat because I'm unhappy...and I'm unhappy because I eat!" or the OUROBOROS episode of Red Dwarf. Heh, maybe I'm the confused one :) This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

November 28, 200520 yr Wouldn't that be a vicious circle? You're unhappy, you eat, you get more unhappy because you eat, you eat more because you're getting more unhappy, etc. My Tip.It Times Articles (10 and counting) || The Varrock Library Author Index projectDo you dare to dream? - Part 19 added. || The Hospital (WIP) - New story!Necromagus looks like a viking ... with glasses.

You're unhappy, you eat, you get more unhappy because you eat, you eat more because you're getting more unhappy, etc. Hehe, it's an Austin Powers quote and Fat...person calls it a vicious circle (or cycle) :P This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
November 28, 200520 yr The following is false, the former is true. That's easy, the first part is true, the last part is false ;) That's what my junior high math teacher said when I showed it to her Wait a second, if the second part is false, then the first part can't be true... :?
