If a news paper prints your name on an add paid by someone else and its a false statement..what can I do?
See a lawyer and sue themdebt
Can I make a statement that is both true and false?
Let me elaborate:
If I say I'm lying, am I telling the truth?
If I am, I'm lying, so am utterring a falsehood; but if I'm not telling the truth, I am lying and so I am telling the truth.Can I make a statement that is both true and false?
Well, a statement can be such that one part is true while the other is false.
For example....
I saw you coming and thought you were looking for me.
I saw you coming is true. I thought you were looking for me is just to progress conversation or could even be false... I might have thought how harried he looks!!
I know this answer sort of pours water on what you really intended to discuss. Well, there are already enough straight answers, so I thought why not!!Can I make a statement that is both true and false?
If you say you are lying, and it is true, then it may be true that you are lying even though if it is true that you are lying then you are lying. So this results in you lying and being honest at the same time. If you say you are lying, and that is a false statement, then you are indeed lying even though you are telling us you are lying which is true. Is that a good enough answer? All I have really done is explained the problem, and the basic answer is yes, you can lie and tell the truth at the same time, based upon your example.
i couldn't help but LMAO at Mochi %26amp; Hawaii sponger...
It's funny that they say that cause to me all philosophy sounds like it was thought up but someone who was just really really high..ahaha
I guess that's why i love it so much, %26amp; why it's so interesting :P
But yeah, i've actually heard this paradox before...
i just choose to go with them telling the truth...about lying.
LOL
The elaboration may be the first I've seen that makes the question make less sense. Truth is in the whole statement and it's meaning, the wording doesn't change that.
How about: This statement is false.
If it's indeed false, then it is true, although the statement clearly says false.
Works.
C'mon man, youre just playing around.
Philosophy isnt about that kinda stuff.... really.
Its cool, but... well,,,,... too much bong action, there man.
The one thing you cannot say that you are lying is that ';I'm lying';
The one thing you cannot doubt is you are doubting.
Get the connection?
This is the Liar Paradox.
Check out the Wikipedia site for it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar_parado鈥?/a>
Can you make a statement that is both true and false? Yes and no.
depends on what you say you are lying about in the first place
No thanks, I'm busy doing this one for my own homework.
dude, you sound so high right now

Which statement about meandering rivers is false?
A Floods are common on meandering rivers.
B Oxbow lakes are often found near meandering rivers.
C The shape of a meandering river changes over time.
D Meandering rivers do not have levees because erosion occurs too rapidly.Which statement about meandering rivers is false?
D is false. Although it is true that erosion occurs rapidly on a meandering river (causing C to be true), there are levees. A meandering river normally has a large flood plain, and flood waters can easily overrun the banks (so A is true), and levees are necessary as a precaution, even if they would need to be moved over time to accomodate erosion. Oxbow lakes can only be found near meandering rivers, because they are themselves meanders whose own erosion processes cut them off from their parent rivers. Thus, B is true as well.Which statement about meandering rivers is false?
D is false.

If a police officer reads a false statement what is he supposed to do ?
The police officer must be reported to his superior so that appropriate action will be taken against him.If a police officer reads a false statement what is he supposed to do ?
How does the officer know it is a false statement.....
If it is known to be a false statement the person making the statement can be charged with some sort of obstruction. Depending on the offence or reason for the statement the officer would most likely contact the person again for another statement to verify the response or charge them with a known obstruction law, or just charge the person if commiting an offense. If you have a day in court the officer just presents his fact to the Justice.
The thing is, it would have to be a known false statement and to be obstructing the truth.
It is a grey area, lawyers do it all the time. As long as the statement can be truthful but yet incomplete in some manner it is still a true statement even tough it may be incorrect.

Why do some parents deliberately make a false statement to provoke their child to correct the statement....?
And then punish him/her for ';arguing'; ?Why do some parents deliberately make a false statement to provoke their child to correct the statement....?
i have never heard of a parent dillebertly making a false statement. Now i know my dad hated when we corrected him in fornt of people but we were never punished for it.Why do some parents deliberately make a false statement to provoke their child to correct the statement....?
Can I get an example?
Sometimes I make a false statement in order to get the correct statement. Like, ';I don't know who hit me at school.'; I might say, ';Well I will have to talk to Gabrielle's mom then.'; ';Well actually I just remembered it was Destiny.'; It's effective.
I'm not sure I understand. Can you give an example?
I don't believe I've ever done such a thing, and I can't think of any parents I know who would feel that this is a good idea. Maybe I'm just not understanding what you mean by your question?
never done that. sorry your parents are doing it. I hate a person who lies and i would never lie to provoke my kids. my mother always said never trust a lier or thief.
Power and selfishness. I guess stupidity too.

Is this -5>-3 a true or false statement and why?
-5 is smaller than -3 , so the above statement is false because because if you see a no. line , then the bigger no. is always towards the right side of the smaller no.
eg:
....|.......|.......|.......|.......|...鈥?br>
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
Now in the above no. line,
its our common sense that we know that 4 is greater than 3. And so we write it to the right of 3. As we move from left to right, nos. goes on increasing like ..5..6..7..8.......and so on..So, you see -5 ..-4..-3..-2..-1..0..1..2......so..on
Here, we can also say that 1 is the smallest positive integer and -1 is the largest negative integer, and so you may understand that -3 is greater then -5.
Hope I have helped you.Is this -5%26gt;-3 a true or false statement and why?
false. look at a number scale
-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
-5 is actually smaller than -3Is this -5%26gt;-3 a true or false statement and why?
Draw a number line and mark off the integers from -5 to 3.
Notice that -5 is to the left of 3. That's the definition of ';less then';. Just like 3 %26lt; 8.
ProfRay
It's false
as you go further to the left on the number line, the numbers you encounter are less than the number to their right.
false
becuase -3 is greater then -5
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
If -5 %26gt; -3, then -(-5) %26lt; -(-3), i.e., 5 %26lt; 3 which is False.
Hence, -5 %26gt; -3 is also False.
False, because -5%26lt;-3.

Hence, -5 %26gt; -3 is also False.
False, because -5%26lt;-3.
