If someone says a certain democratic government is really a fascist government are they not questioning the democratic government's system or if someone says obama is a good for nothing leader are they not questioning his leadership?

No, they're making statements. A question would be, someone saying something like "This democratic government is simply a fascist one in a sheep's clothing don't you agree?" that would be a question, not a statement. As it stands though "A certain democratic government is a fascist one." Is a statement and will always be as such at least to me. Unless you put a question mark at the end thus making it a question. Also stating that "Obama is a good for nothing leader." is simply that an opinion, a statement. Definitely not a question.

are they not questioning his leadership?

Believe this is the first question you've posed since the OP, tbh.

We exist, because we are all different. You don't think what I think, you don't know what I know, you don't know what I'm going to say next. Please tell me you do.......

You can state something that question something else. Like someone saying every fish in the ocean is brown and someone else saying every fish in the ocean isn't brown all fishes have different variations in colors. That questions the first person's idea.

o_O nooo, they're both statements. It doesn't matter if they contradict or not, it doesn't make them questions.

Saying

"One plus one is two" and "One plus one is one" are both statements like your above post. One is right and one is wrong, no one is questioning anyone. Both are statements, albeit statements that can be proven true or false but still statements none the less.

In logic a statement is either (a) a meaningful declarative sentence that is either true or false, or (b) that which a true or false declarative sentence asserts. In the latter case, a statement is distinct from a sentence in that a sentence is only one formulation of a statement, whereas there may be many other formulations expressing the same statement.

Examples of sentences that are (or make) statements:
  • "Socrates is a man."
  • "A triangle has three sides."
  • "Madrid is the capital of Spain."



Examples of sentences that are not (or do not make) statements:

  • "Who are you?"
  • "Run!"
  • "Greenness perambulates"
  • "I had one grunch but the eggplant over there."
  • "The King of France is wise."
  • "Broccoli tastes good."
  • "Pegasus exists."


Didn't feel like writing all that out in my own words, so I'll just do the ol' Ctrl + C - Ctrl + V method. Worked for homework, it'll work here. Also the fact that we had this conversations, means we exist. Just saying :rei:

No, they wouldn't. They'd still be statements. Again it doesn't matter if they contradict each other or one is right and one is wrong they're still statements. If you're not asking something or trying to gain information it's not a question. At this point you're arguing to argue. Mind using proof to back your statements? The one where you said "the result would question the other" because they don't.

One plus one is two.: True
One plus one is one.: False

Every fish in the ocean is brown.: False
Every fish in the ocean isn't brown all fishes have different variations in colors: True

No statement above is questioning any other one. Some are proven wrong and some are proven right, simple as that. :p

You still haven't provided any proof to your thoughts on if the world exists or not and honestly I can do this for a while.

of course we exist ,in your opinion who build this civilization? : humans ,who committed the war world I and II? : humans who is the responsibleof nature and environment distruction ? :humans , you want more evidence of the humanity existence ;maybe when Korea will explode the the world with nuclear weapons than, you will realize our existence

At that point I think he'd seize to exist as he is thus his thoughts would be somewhat (in a bit) confirmed. Then again his body would still exist in other forms.

Yes I am unique thank you =D
that was not a compliment.


I didn't read your text, only the Heading, recognizing you're a failure.
You're breathing, talking, eating, sleeping and you say that you maybe do not exist?
