If God is omnipotent, can he microwave a burrito so hot that even he himself cannot eat it?! Dun dun duuun
I don't get this. Perhaps you aren't a hypocrite, which would make your statement "I'm a hypocrite" a lie.
I lie when I say "Im a hypocrite". What that means is, the statement "I'm a hypocrite" is false, but by saying im hypocrite without actually being one makes me a hypocrite, but how is this possible if im lying?
I think a hypocrite is someone who pretends to have moral virtue, but doesn't. Being a hypocrite doesn't mean that everything you say is a lie. You could modify it to be "I lie when I say that I always lie" but that still leaves you with the same problem. Perhaps you don't always lie, but you lied when you made the statement 'I always lie.'
My personal favorite is: "This Statement is a Lie." It goes along with the hypocrite statement, but is much much simpler. X-Ide
Paradox arises when we reach limits of our undrstanding. It also demonstrates how limited language is when it comes to describing reality. Like the empty sky it has no boundaries, Yet it is right in this place, ever profound and clear. When you seek to know it, you cannot see it. You cannot take hold of it, But you cannot lose it. In not being able to get it, you get it. When you are silent, it speaks; When you speak, it is silent. The great gate is wide open to bestow alms, And no crowd is blocking the way. Cheng Tao Ko
Nasor, I believe a hypocrite is someone who pretends they are something they're not. Now apply that to my paradox.
hypocrite \Hyp"o*crite\, n. [F., fr. L. hypocrita, Gr. ? one who plays a part on the stage, a dissembler, feigner. See Hypocrisy.] One who plays a part; especially, one who, for the purpose of winning approbation of favor, puts on a fair outside seeming; one who feigns to be other and better than he is; a false pretender to virtue or piety; one who simulates virtue or piety. n : a person who professes beliefs and opinions that they do not hold [syn: dissembler, phony, phoney]
It ain't half hot... Can't live with them, can't live without them... MacDonald's Happy Meal... War against Terror...
another oxymoron, military intelligence a war against terror would be possible, if people were armed with food for the poor, instead of guns chunky lover has seen too much simspons (too much simpsons is an oxymoron tho)
Hmm... hard to define... maybe they're oxymoronic paradoxes? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Ahh i love oxymorons, but yes that not really a paradox...Here's a good paradox though... Where there is something there is nothing.
