Sounds like a bunch of bull to me. Then again, if you really need an answer, perhaps its worth discussing. I mean, if there's truly NO truth, how can that be a truth? - there isn't any.

The biggest problem that we face in our society today is that this is still a debated question.
Who was the first president of the United State of America? (George Washington)
At what temperature does water freeze (assume pure water at sea level)? (32 degrees Farenheit)
What is the longest river in Africa? (The Nile River)
What is the first derivative of 2x? (2)
In the English language, what should a sentence begin with? (A capital letter)
There is truth everywhere. In all that we study, there are truths that we need to learn in order to be effective--and if you disagree with the truth, you are wrong.
Why is this debated? Because when it comes to morality, everyone wants to pick their own. Thus, they decide that when it comes to "ultimate truth" (as opposed to the "trivial truths" I listed above), suddenly there is no such thing as truth.
There are no good reasons to believe this. Just because people don't agree does not mean that there is no truth. It may indicate that we don't readily agree on what that truth happens to be. But just because people don't agree does not mean that it does not exist.
Remember, when Columbus sailed in 1492, most people (if we are to believe our history books) thought he was going to fall off the edge of the earth. Most people were wrong.

its not that difficult to understand - if the only truth, is that thier is no truth, so then thier IS NO TRUTH, thats the truth. How can you debate the words THIER IS NO TRUTH.

there is A Truth, but it is unique to every person and to simplify it to the masses is to lose its importance and ultimate purpose

How sad. College students still waste their time on such questions?

that statement is false. if it is true, then there is at least one truth and that makes the statement contradict what it's trying to say.

Your statement is very true, or perhaps it's not !
