When Would You Tell a Lie?

Oh, thanks a lot....:rolleyes:
Oh well, I gotta be me, and perhaps
cultivate some more sense, not for you, but for me...

That's a very good question, Julie...
It's best never to lie, and never to start lying...
Because everyone will get caught eventually...
And it's not nice to assume people are dumb enough to believe such things...
Also, if I think someone is lying to me, I always like ask them to clarify the issue,
if it isn't too touchy a moment, because sometimes misunderstandings do happen...

When I can think ahead and see more posative then negative will come of the lie.Lies are real tricky though because they have a tendency to come back around and bite the ole caboos.:)

Right...
If it's to save someone's feelings, I have a real problem being brutal...
It's easier once I know someone though, does that make sense?
I guess because you never know how someone will take something until you know them well...
I am the same way, I'd rather someone save my feelings than to just slap me in the face with the cold hard truth...
If that's so wrong then I guess I'm guilty as charged...
I don't aim to lie, I just try to avoid harm...:)

I mean I try to practice non-harming...
And I do try to avoid harm to myself, too...
However, I think that tends to place a lot of limits on me...
I really do fear being hurt, I guess...

You said once a liar always a liar, does that mean you have never lied even once?
Oh come on...
Even Steven has lied, we all know that...
Everyone has, and they do it on here everyday in fact...
But people can always redeem themselves, they can be good people, they just have to want to...
Lying is no way to do things, and I try never to lie, but like I said, in some cases to save feelings, or maybe to protect someone...
Otherwise I don't lie...
Not saying you are judging, just asking you to look at what you said, you can't mean that, not really...

I think Orangatuang is talking about people like my ex-brother in law. He is a pathalogical liar. He used lies to build himself up, cover up, and cover up a cover up. It is like the song that never ends.

I need to clarify myself on this subject. I believe it is
natural to protect your family. It would depend on the severity
of whatever was done, i.e....If a family member had done something
horrible, of course I wouldn't lie for them! love, kat

There are some people who just assume everyone is a natural born liar too, because they themselves are so insecure, that they don't trust anyone at all...
That's why I said sometimes you have to clarify things about a person to avoid a misunderstanding...
I always give someone the benefit of the doubt just in case...
I know a lot of times I jump to conclusions, and that's no good at all, because often
I am wrong in assuming something about someone, and in the end it's hurts both that person and me...
You know what they say about assumptions...:D
