is this a hypocritical statement?

That bugs me too...:\

the question or the realization that you don't know if it's a hypocritical statement or not?

I can see them all, they are peeping in and dropping like flies :evil: just 100,000 more coldplayers to go

i never say never :rolleyes:

It's not a hypocritical thing because you aren't saying something you hate and then doing it.

 

 

Example: Betty says: " I hate eating peas."

 

Then

 

True situation: Betty: *eats peas*

 

In your statement... you just stated that you hate something. But you didn't really have some kind of action that you went back on. *hails self* :crown:

that's what I thought, but what if "it" at the end of the sentence means that I'm saying I hate something?

Yeah...i reread it (out loud) >>>> :blush:

 

and kinda like, didn't know what to think anymore

 

 

*takes back self praise*

Then again, the "do" might have nothing whatsoever to do with the "hate"!!:rolleyes:

I hate it when people say they hate something...and then they do it.

 

 

Yeah...it is hypocritical. Because they hate it when people say they hate something...and then they go back (in a circle?/sphere?) and state that they hate something...when they just stated that they hate when people say they hate something.

 

basically, it's going back on your word..in a really kinda funny twisted way

 

 

 

FOr some reason, it reminds me of a webcomic. . .

 

 

"hating-stuff-to-make-yourself-look-interesting-is-not-interesting"

 

Yeah...it is hypocritical. Because they hate it when people say they hate something...and then they go back (in a circle?/sphere?) and state that they hate something...when they just stated that they hate when people say they hate something.

the problem with that is

 

I hate:

when people say they hate something AND they do it

 

what you were referring to is:

I hate when people say they hate something.

 

but that wasn't the statement :sneaky:

Yeah I know plenty of hypocrites like that...fuckin asholes!!!!

Don't you just hate it?:rolleyes:

^^^dude. random. lol.

Yeah I know plenty of hypocrites like that...fuckin asholes!!!!

 

what are those fucking asholes?? hypocritical statements or that you know plenty of them?? :confused:

my thoughts exactly.

 

alyssa, my screen says that you're offline...but you're not. wtf?!?! it never ever says that you're online.

My status is hidden. :smug:

so you mean that if people say they hate [eating peas=something] and then they do [eat peas=it]

 

 

is that what you mean?

I am off for the day, but I will be back to this puzzle soon..

 

 

and my goodbye statement to all is: creeeeepy Eric.

:D bye

the solution I came up with which isn't neccessarily the solution is so complicated that I might as well just say it and no one will get it and they'll just be more confused so I don't think it will ruin anything to say it.

 

this is what I said:

I hate:

when people say they hate something AND then they do it.

 

in this case determining if this is a hypocritical statement one must determine what the stater means by "do it"

if "do it" means "say they hate something" then this would be a hypocritical statement. But it wouldn't make sense that that is what the stater is stating and by rephrasing the question this is made clearer......

 

this would be assuming the statement is:

"I hate it when people say they hate something and then they say they hate something"

 

which is quite a redundant sentence. so unless the stater is quite redundant then surely they are not being a hypocrite. But I'm still not completely sure about this..... because "do it" could mean multiple things including "say they hate something" as well as "eating peas" etc. then the sentence would not be a redundant one, but determining whether or not the statement is hypocritical must mean determining if the stater hates when someone says they hate something and that's probably impossible to do by that statement, but I haven't figured everything out and I'm still not sure at all if that's the only way to figure it out.

Um dont think to hard eric,your head might implode!!!

 

:lol:

Well you know how that feels!!:P

I think that about covers it.

Thanks Eric...thanks.....when I saw the headline I was just reminded of my sister...

gosh how I hate that....she is telling me that I'm not allowed to use her things...and what does she do?She uses my things....

 

 

I hate that so much...

 

 

 

Ooops......but this thread actually is about the headline itself and not the content....isn't it?
