Does anyone actually tell the truth anymore??? I mean, if you do something and you have to lie, for what ever reason (protect someones feelings, cover your own ass), does that mean you shouldn't be doing what you are doing, or is ok to just "LEAVE OUT THE TRUTH" because you don't consider it a LIE? ?? Can I get an AMEN? Even worse - making your kids lie about it...

Aww... sorry Phyx.... To play devil's advocate, it is sometimes ok to not share every detail if doing so would only serve to hurt someone's feelings. It's called tact. However I don't think you're referring to that sort of situation...

I couldn't agree more. The thing I just can't seem to get over about my ex is the lies. I now just assume everything he says is not true. I have a friend like that too. Or rather, an ex friend. She actually told her friends that she had cancer when she didn't. God knows why - sympathy and attention I assume. But when you've had family members die from the disease that's a lie which is just utterly unacceptable.
Same at work. If one of my juniors does something wrong I can cope with it, come to me, tell me what happened and we can try to fix it. Oh no. Its so much easier to hide it and try to keep it quiet.... Oh yes, until it ends up an even bigger mess because it wasn't addressed when it could have been. (Heard of SocGen anyone???).
I wish human beings had some kind of gland which enabled lying - then liars could have it removed.

I know Someone. If they told you it was daytime
Even if it was Noon
You would look outside to check
Because if this person says something
9 times out of 10 its not True

Well, if they ARE a liar, then they speak the truth, but therefore, they could not be a liar!

I heard on the news (somewhere in the US) this woman and her husband pulled the same type of crap. Their friends/family raised all this money for them, then later found out it was a hoax. More recently is the couple who claimed they were having sixtuplets and had all these showers/fundraisers. I think they ended up going to jail.

I have heard stories about people making stuff up and posting them on internet forums just to get attention. Sad.
