I realized, that my friends all know I lie, but some of you might not.
So, here is my מודעה: Everything I say on this site may not be true. Except my halacha stuff, I take that seriously.

Sorry, the tautology does not work here, since I didn't say I always lie.
Therefore, if I am lying here, it actually is self fulfilling. So either way it is true.Posted 2 years ago # -
Oh yeah, and also they get binah yeseira!

Two things come to mind:
1) it's still Adar
2) is it April 1 yet where you live?Posted 2 years ago # -
pba,
Are your hashkofos, even if exaggerated, basically real, or totally made up?
An example which comes to mind is that the lady whose daughter's seat was stolen should have thrown the alteh bubby, who stole the seat, down the steps. Obviously this was exaggerated, but did you really feel that she should not have been accommodating despite the bubby's rudeness? (If you don't mind, please answer this one seriously.)

DY: My hashkafos are serious also.
I think most people would have given in in that case.
I am actually unsure if it is the right thing to do. It probably depends why you are giving in. If it is because you aren't able to stand up for yourself, then I would actually advise not giving in.
As far as the old lady, I am convinced she is a horrible bully.
(But no, I would not throw her down the stairs. I can exaggerate sometimes.)

I'm actually not convinced of anything, because we only hear one side of the story in these cases. But given the story as presented, yes, she sounds like a horrible bully, and yes, one should have the fortitude to stand up to that, but if it were my wife and daughter, (or me in an equivalent situation,) I would hope for the sake of middos and chinuch we would give in, despite not being intimidated.
Thanks for your response.

Poppa is your statement a lie
This reminds me of what I heard re what דוד המלך said in תהלים (or !תהילות)
אני אמרתי בחפזי כל האדם כזב
"I say in my haste that all men are liars".Someone said that if all men are liars then that he is including himself, and if so the statement could be untrue. But if its untrue then he's not a liar so he said the truth. But if he said the truth then its true that all men are liars in which case his statement would be untrue... Etc etc etc.

Good to know.
in full disclosure: I occasionally stretch facts so as to make myself less recognizable.

That's not logically correct. A liar is not necessarily someone's whose every statement is untrue. If it were that way, you'd be right. However, a liar could be someone who sometimes lies and sometimes tells the truth.

This begins to sound like something from my freshman logic class of the Cretan saying "All Cretans are liars."
PBA, are you running some kind of experiment?

Daas,
it would make sense if it was a habitual liar
Posted 2 years ago # -
mbachur,
Yes, but who says it has to mean that?
Posted 2 years ago # -
more complicated is the fact:
a) i think that whatever i think is true
b) i also think that not everything i think is true, is in fact trueAnd that is the truth. :)

Actually I didn't. That is hilarious. I must have missed it when Charlie brown pointed it out also.

The rule is that
אין למדין מן הכללות אפילו במקום שנאמר בו כל
basically 'all' doesn't mean 'all'
Anyways we know that dovid hamelech wasn't a liar.
Also, אדם refers to the lower level of civilization related to אדמה.Posted 7 months ago # -
