This is a false statement. Keeping to the rules of logic such a statement cannot exist.

If it was the truth, then it would automatically be a lie, unless you told the lie then immediately admitted to the lie afterward. If you were lying, then everything you said would have to be a truth to make that statement false... that just doesnt happen in humanity. You must be telling the truth then.

you are telling the truth because ur saying everything i tell u is a lie,so u are actually telling the truth,cause the truth is that everything u say is a lie. There u go,there is ur answer.

A lie.
If it would be true, then it would mean you're only telling lies, and oyu're statement would be a lie. --> contradiction
If it's a lie, then it means that not everything you say is a lie, but some things may still be. Like your statement. So, it's a lie.

You are telling a lie because you really don't want to admit the truth.

i have 3 ans..
1st ans.. If you are telling the truth, then the statement, "Everything I tell you is a lie," is a lie itself. If you are lying, then the statement would actually be true...which brings us back to you telling the truth. It's all just one big circle that never, ever ends! and its not a paradox!!! it is a lie!!! I lie sometimes...but not all the time.
2nd ans.. its a lie.. coz you said everything you tell me is a lie..
3rd ans.. or not coz u'r telling it to me i am reading it...

The truth, You say that cause it confuses the human mind to think that they will say lie. Most people will get the right answer although it won't be what they seem

It's a lie because you don't know me and when anybody tell anything to a stranger he will be reluctant to believe in the first go. So it's a lie, considering you to be a intellectual person.

If "Everything you tell me is a lie." You are a liar. You may be lying about lying and telling the "truth". However, you are still lying.
