discodown Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 No I haven't. It would only be a lie if I said something that was knowingly untrue. Not referencing something is not a lie. Never. Why would I lie and let my partner leave the house looking silly? This has nothing to do with Santa though. Why you want to make out that I'm a liar, I have no idea. You've done the others though? The point is that you said Are all lies told to children nice and harmless "fun"?Implying that lies are a bad thing. They aren't necessarily. I'm not trying to particularly make out that you are a liar as such more that this myth isn't necessarily a harmful thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 so claiming you NEVER LIE seems a bit silly It isn't. I can phrase a point in such a way where it can still be true. Prove I'm a liar if you want to call me one. You can't just infer it and then expect me to accept it as true. The point is that you said Implying that lies are a bad thing. I didn't imply anything. I asked a question. more that this myth isn't necessarily a harmful thing I never said it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I believe in Santa Can you explain why only Rudolph had a light on his nose? Never got that. Surely atleast one of his parents also had red noses, and one presumes some of his cousins would share the gene. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Yes you do. You may not tell them outright whopping lies. They may just be little white lies. It may be you don't volunteer information or you tell them what they want to hear or you structure an answer in a strategic way but its still a lie. You don't go around telling the entire truth all day. Your life would be unmanageable. You lie on this forum. Every time you use google and don't credit the source when you do you lie. You are passing off knowledge thats not yours. Granted its not an earthshattering lie, hardly Watergate, but its still a lie. Actually I would find it difficult to lie because liars need good memories and if I use google to look up anything I always add footnote that google is my friend. Even at work I find myself not being able to get time off many a time because when asked the reason I always tell the truth. :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 :hihi: I know, ask me anything about the 1960s and I'd be fine but I sometimes go upstairs to fetch something and by the time I get there I can't remember what I went for but I can by the time I get back down:roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
