+If you validate the presence of an object associated via a +has_one+ or +has_many+ relationship, it will check that the object is neither +blank?+ nor +marked_for_destruction?+.
+
Since +false.blank?+ is true, if you want to validate the presence of a boolean field you should use <tt>validates :field_name, :inclusion => { :in => [true, false] }</tt>.
The default error message is "_can't be empty_".
