Lying

Andromida_ · 07-26-2002, 09:37 AM

Just wanted to know what everyone thought about lying?
It seems like I know a lot of people that lie, not here but out of my "friends" and/or acquaintances.
As for me, I don't like people that lie, so I have no interest in it.

oh and another question...
Have you ever gotten in a big fight (or just a fight) with a friend because they lied, you lied, or you were too truthful with them?
hehe just wondering

Even though I had an awesome week this week, I got into a fight with two of my friends. Well lets just say we're not the best of friends anymore all because either they lied or I was too truthful with them. hehe oh well life goes on.

I don't like it when people lie to me (depending what kind of lie), so I don't lie to other people. And I've never been in a fight because of someone that lied to me.

Who cares.

I have seen too many really good friendships broken up because of people lying and whatnot. So now I just do not care. If somebody lies to me, I'll find out the truth sooner or later.

Oh, but I lie to my parents on a daily basis. I mean, when they ask me what I am going to do tonight, you really think I am going to say that I will be smoking some marijuana or possibly drinking alcohol? No. I just say that we are going to the movies... But then again, friends and parents are alot different, or at least for me they are.

well...same here...

but i don't like if people lie to me, if it's friends then they'll eventually end up telling me the truth, so whatever.

i lie to alot of people, esspecially to my parents

but then again who doesn't.

Joeiss said it exactly.

I've never gotten in a huge fight over someone lying to me.. but the truth comes out eventually.

I believe in being honest...

I don't like lieing, unless it only helps the situation...for instance, if this friend, say it's a girl, walks up to me and asks how I like her new haircut, and even though I might think it looks like crap, I'd say something like "It looks alright".

Angrist · 07-26-2002, 12:30 PM

I never lie. Unless I have to.

No, I really don't lie.

Those are like the only times that I am very truthfull. Haha... If somebody gets a bad haircut or is wearing something stupid, I will tell them. Some people like that, some people hate it. Oh well.

who doesn't? i know i do, but i dont lie to anyone else inless i hate them or something. but otherwise i dont lie because i absolutely hate it when other people lie to me.

I don't lie. Not usually anyway.

Not to my parents either...

Angrist · 07-26-2002, 01:58 PM

I don't lie to my parents either. I have secrets for them, of course, but I don't lie.

I'm going to live on my own any way so it doesn't matter much.

And it's not like I have big problems.

GameKinG · 07-26-2002, 02:48 PM

Its pretty hypocritical to say you hate people who lie. Of coarse you dont like when people lie to you, you must hate yourself for it. But is ok, your human.

bobcat · 07-26-2002, 10:41 PM

I think nearly everybody in this forum lies.......whether it's to another person........or to themselves.

So I hate being lied to, but once I find the truth I let the parties involved know of the situation.

And also there is different extents of lying. So yeh.

PureEvil · 07-27-2002, 01:27 AM

I think I probably lie at least once every day. Generally speaking, most days likely have more lies than that.

Sometimes it's to get out of trouble (or prevent it), sometimes it's to spare someone's feelings, and so on and yadda yadda.
