Real isn't defined by an average human, real is an obvective thing, it need not be defined by a human.
Lies are subjective and is different from saying something wrong in that whether or not something is a lie depends on the speaker's knowledge and intention. This has nothing to do with whether or not a specific thing is real, right or whatever.

---Then how do you know what is real and truth is? How can you judge that what lies before you is real? By what your five senses tell you? Real does have to do with truth, because they are both factual terms. So I repeat my question: How do you know what is real?

Only because you go off-topic and connect the original topic to A TOTALLY DIFFERENT and btw very basic philosophical question doesn't mean you have a point.

What do you think my point is? You didn't even understand my post, it had 2 typos in it. It isn't a totally different topic. And you haven't even' answered the question I asked. You don't have to, but it would be nice to hear what you have to say about it.

It's off-topic, go make a new thread about it, I've gone through that in school and it's not all to hard finding a solution to your question. You have no point because the question you asked has not much of a direct connection to the original topic. You could go in ANY thread in this forum and post the same question because EVERYTHING is related to reality in a way so you could just question reality as is and thus take the base of most user's arguments here. But, go figure please... that's just a timewaster so leave it be.

Let me ask you, are you a moderator here? Did you MAKE this post? Did you answer my question without using an absurd excuse to deflect it? You could anser it reguardless, if it is such an easy topic, even though it is not related (according to you, it is extremely related to me though) you could still answer it. Maybe you'll still insist in not answering it, and I'm wasting my time with you. Truth and reality are related, and I already explained why. So, the only thing I ask is that you understand, because I know that you do not understand completely.

Yes, he could go to any thread and question reality, but he did a fine job connecting to this issue. It's not off-topic here. No more debating over whether he can or cannot ask the question, please.
