He's lying.

yup, he's lying, SOME things he says are a lie =]

In any case that he's a habitual liar, I'd say he's telling the truth, which would make this statement a lie.

He is lying. If everything were a lie that he said, then 'everything I say to you is a lie' would be true, and therefore not a lie and a total contradiction of terms. However, he can lie and say 'everything I say to you is a lie', when really sometimes he says the truth

He's truthfully lying.

Oh my, have I pondered this question. At 0:32, Harry Mudd is my husband, and I am Norman. :-p

He is a creep and you don t want to know him anyway (lier or not ! )

He's telling the truth. Because, based on his statement I'm not going to believe anything else he says.

It's the kind of nonsense statement that becomes possible when the mind gets tangled up in abstractions and loses touch with reality. There's an endless supply of these little logic paradoxes, they're fun for a short while, but eventually if we pay attention we notice that they have little practical value in life. But it's important to notice that, because a lot of the arguments we have about social, political, and moral issues are really disguised versions of these logic-nonsense puzzles -- problems which appear only because we've got our concepts disconnected from reality.

The man is lying. Some additional thoughts: --- "everything" is an absolute, and there are few of those; --- the statement is forward-looking, and the future is not known to us (ie, he might slip up and tell a truth); and, --- possible truths? "everything ELSE I say...," "everything I SAID...," etc

i guess hes lying... so that would mean hes telling the truth..right? lol now i confused myself. =)

he is telling the truth.

Our brains get entangled with this comment ONLY if we limit our thinking to assuming that this person is INCAPABLE of telling BOTH the truth and lies. Yet, since this is a complete improbabilty as to the notion of a person being incapable of choosing whether or not to state facts or fiction, the answer is obviously a lie! People are not limited to only lies or only truths in real life, but riddles are a great way to illustrate fictional characters with these certain surreal characteristics.

don't talk to strangers

I think hes telling you that everything he says is the truth. But you just made my brain work. (This hasn't happened for a while!)

He is asking for a punch in the face. Famowx don't take no mind games.

Logic says he's lying.

Sounds like he's telling you he lies and that would be a honest thing for him to say if he is a liar

He's lying! Don't believe him!

Definitely. No one can be that consistent. But then again, I am a bigger liar than you.

for once in you life maybe not .

No.

C'mon, its a paradox! If you always lie then you must be lying so your telling the truth which means your lying...etc

This one statement, yes I can believe it.

No...because either your telling the truth, or your lieing.... either way, it doesnt pan out.

would you believe me if i said yes or would you believe me even more if i said no?

Eubulides’ version of the paradox is this: A man says that he is lying; is what he says true or false? However we answer this question, difficulties arise. If we suggest that what the man says is true, then we end in contradiction: if the man’s claim that he is lying is true, then he is lying, in which case what he says is false. If we suggest that what the man says is false, then we are no better off: if the man’s claim that he is lying is false, then he is not lying, in which case what he says is true. Both answers give rise to logical contradictions; it cannot be the case either that what the man says is true or that what the man says is false. The Liar Paradox is sometimes referred to as “Epimenides’ Paradox”, after the sixth-century B.C. Cretan who asserted that all Cretans are liars. The apostle Paul makes reference to Epimenides in Titus 1:12, writing, “It was one of them, their very own prophet who said, ‘Cretans are always liars, vicious brutes, lazy gluttons.’” Epimenides’ statement alone does not give rise to a paradox. What he says can’t be true, for if Cretans are always liars, and he is a Cretan, then he must be lying, in which case his statement is false. His statement could be false however; it could be that Epimenides is dishonest but that not all Cretans are liars. Paul, though, excludes this dissolution of the paradox, proceeding to say in the following verse, “This testimony is true.” This leaves Paul asserting that Epimenides truly said that he (and all other Cretans) are liars, which takes us back to Eubulides’ paradox above; Paul cannot be right.

Both and neither. +

its the classic paradox that is used as an example. If what he says is a lie,. then the statement must be a falseity, but it has one or the other is incorrect.

You're only lying to yourself.
