That that is, is; that that is not, is not.

(It's amazing to me how many people seem to disagree with this simple statement.)

By the way, what if we make it a dialogue?

- "That that is, is that that is not."
- "Is not!"

That, that is, is.That, that is not, is not.

Try saying this three times, fast :

A skunk sat on a stump

The stump thought the skunk stunk

The skunk thought the stump stunk

(without looking back at words)

Well done, you just got heaps of people to write something incomprehensible. You can now cross that one off your list.

I doubt this is a philosophical question :)

but i believe the answer is truly :

That that is, is, that that is not, is not.
