Lies, Lies and More Lies!
Is it ever okay to lie? Have you ever regretted telling a particular lie? Do you change the subject to something else quickly if you are about to say something untrue or hurting?

Re: Lies, Lies and More Lies!
Lies can be beneficial for everyone. That said, it really matters what people lie about. I don't use lies very often (and I leave it up to you to vouch for that!  )

Re: Lies, Lies and More Lies!
Why are lies often called 'white'? Is there such a thing as a Black Lie? |

Probably is. But it is a bit maccabre.

Re: Lies, Lies and More Lies!
White lie: "It was according to God's will. (even though you have no idea whether that is true).
Black lie: "Eternal damnation will befall you if you do not do God's bidding."
It must be possible for a gray lie to exist.

Okay, now give me a gray lie, please! (this is like a test!) |

Re: Lies, Lies and More Lies!
When politicians say just about anything on the subject of terrorism.

I don't know why women ask these questions. We know our a$$ is big, so it's like we are asking to be lied to....then get upset about it....go figure! |
