" no comment " is a comment....agree or disagree?

Effectively I agree- it means that the person making the comment has an opinion, which they prefer to retain.

Agreed

Very interesting!We tend to assume that a reply of "no comment" to a question implies a tacit admission of guilt or culpability,but this is not necessarily the case.For instance the much publicised 'affair' involving Imogen Thomas and Ryan Giggs is a case in point.Ms.Thomas is constrained in law from commenting on her relationship with Giggs.If asked about said affair she is compelled by law to say "no comment."

Certain questions can be asked to which a reply of 'yes' or 'no' can paradoxically imply guilt or culpability.For instance a man is asked "Have you stopped beating your wife Mr'X."If he replies yes he implies he beat her in the past.If he replies no,he implies he is beating her...."I have never beaten my wife" would be the politic answer or perhaps the riskier "no comment."

In the United States the right to make 'no comment' is enshrined in the constitution under the Fifth Amendment.....it is 'literally' the right to make no comment,that is to remain silent.

("No person ... shall be compelled in a criminal case to be a witness against himself") protects suspects from forced self-incrimination. When a suspect invokes his or her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, this is referred to in the vernacular as "pleading the Fifth." It should not by any means be taken as a sign of guilt, but it is generally portrayed as such in courtroom television and film dramas.

Finally here is another twist on the use of "No Comment."

Agree.

I don't think it is a comment - to not comment on something is to remain silent.

However, remaining silent may encourage whoever's asking you to ask again and again, and eventually you will need to utter something in form of a response. At least by saying "No Comment" you're telling the interviewer that you do not wish to give any enlightenment on something, and the interviewer will understand this.

Agree...... if you wrote on facebook 'No comment'

the owner of what ever you commented on Would still get a notification,

So im assuming the same goes for Real life.

It is a comment without information..agree in technical terms.

Agree..

Definitely. By saying "no comment", you're admitting there's something to hide. Kinda a catch 22 lol.

Disagree Big Time....It Specifically Says "NO COMMENT"
