IDK how functional it is to live life worrying about who is lying - me-? my existence is pretty much tracked on the computer because of my work... hurt by lies or truth? lies yes. truth no - in the short run maybe a little disappointed - but have always appreciated it in the long run - so hurt? no. Thanks for sharing your noble ideal. But tell me, assuming that the sword of damocles is hanging over your head and only a little lie can set you free and possibly bring promotion. What choice? the truth damocles will uncover ur misdeeds eventually anyway - it's easier to negotiate form the standpoint of the truth |

I'm sure we have all told lies in our life time. I can't remember the last lie I told (and that is the truth lol) I reached a point in life (a while back) where I don't see the point of lying. I would rather someone tell me the truth. I may not like what is said but I can respect the honesty. I do the same to others. Very worthy of emulation! However, what were some of the incentives/inducements in those days when you at least practiced some modicum of lieing? Any benefits? |

Do these jeans make my butt look big? I had to lie ... i didn't want to die! lol...I should call you Mr Truth...lol. I had been cornered like that in the past and I told her the lie she wanted to hear. Much later when I manned up and reported exactly what I saw at the back, she nearly choked the life out of me (no kidding) - plus yelling....lol. Then followed nasty accusations of "I saw how you looked at that.....girl/woman etc". So should we just tell the woman the truth of what we observed if she asks? |

I agree with you. |

Lies are pointless. Unless they are comedic lies, like giving the excuse that you were chased by a yeti to another city and had to take the bus back...and this is why you were late to work. Yes I agree that "lies are pointless" on the surface, but it seems to be an unwritten, but acceptable rule in politics, international trade, and even in religion (I read in the "holy book" of one of the world's major religions that it is recommended and noble to lie to "infidels" or 'unbelievers". Taking these into consideration would you still maintain that 'lies are pointless"? Well...considering I'm an anarchist and atheist. Yes, lies are still just as pointless as I thought they were to begin with. Neither God nor Washington can convince me otherwise. Have you read the other "holy books"? Quite interesting to see the similarities between vastly different religions and other religions that are really just a mesh of every religion. Honestly, pick up some Stephen King for good fiction. |
