That's no- it is a paradox. Wait... no it's not, all it does is make itself a fake paradox by saying it is... but that removes it's true state. That makes it a non-paradox true state. But the true state removes itself, and so on. It is a paradox!

Another paradox.
The blue sentence is false.
The green sentence is false.
The red sentence is true.Ooh.
What about...
This sentence is false. The first statement is true. The second statement is false. The second statement is true, and the third statement is true too.
Multitipe paradoxes.

Re: Paradoxes -- This sentence is false!
I can't use scratch.MIT.edu. So how do you post on the forums. (ok, so not the best paradox.)
The Intergalactic Adventures of Revesilia! I hope you will partake in this gigantic undertaking, to build the sequel to the hit map The Adventures of Revesilia! The Intergalactic Adventures of Revesilia Map Builders Application thread!

If it was false, it would then be true. If it was true, then we imply the statement and it is false, creating a non-logical question.
I'm 9, just so you know. Most people think I'm 17 or 21 or something.
Are you sure you're nine? Most people think you are seven. But, if you really are still seven, no one can blame you for lying, (I was just as braggy seven years old.)
If you want to keep the internet, vote no for SOPA and PIP. If you can't, tell your parents, your friends' parents! Sign petitions, do whatever you can! Say NOPA to SOPA!

I don't know if that is a real paradox, though. Did you find the error?a-b=0, so you can't change between the statements in red.
Yay, you're right!
Another paradox.
The blue sentence is false.
The green sentence is false.
The red sentence is true.
Actually, that's not a paradox!
OK, so, if the blue sentence is false, then the green sentence is true. So, the red sentence is true, so the blue sentence is false.
