Ok mate, tomorrow when the sun rises I will go to my local courthouse and talk to the first courthouse wall I can find.

Remember that for the future? ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Method: Yo dog, do you like my new sig
N~dog: Its allot better than your old sig!
Method: OMG YOU BIG FAT LIAR!!
Judge Judy: N~dog You are charged with lying.
N~dog: But judge Judy, I did not lie! I just substituted my answer with a positive comment! Please don't send me to jail, I wont make it!

What If I have no opinion of your sig? What If I am undecided on whether or not I like it? What if however, I can definitely see that it is better than your old sig? I would say that I did not lie.

Haha same for me, sometimes I over explain without even realizing it.

This!

I'm a parent, I guess I tell half truths more than outright lies (It's a boy Shony) but I have a conscience and I believe my life is always less complicated when I'm honest.

@RS, there's no justice in the justice system, it's who can tell the greatest lie wins!
I've been charged with assault and other offences over the years because I always thought the truth would set me free, damn near saw me doing time........

Oh yeah, I tell the cops and courts nothin!

No. You use the same answer that all the politicians worldwide use.
'I don't recall'

Now if that isn't a big fat lie, I don't know what is.

I rather do cold hard truth than kind truth or excellent lies like the ones produced by Keyser Söze. But in all honesty I do lie at times but just on occasions where a simple lie would get me out of talking about a complicated truth.

There are several "types" of lies. Someone lies to gain and advantage---I don't do that. Someone lies to stir up trouble---I don't do that either. Some people lie to appear superior to other people with their knowledge and education---not me there either. Sometimes a lie may not be appropriate but it is a kind thing to do---I will do that. Some may consider it wrong but when facing a widow or a person that has inferiority problems, the "truth" is sometimes hurtful! Not what a good person would do. I am waiting for Ano to come on here and call us all a bunch of losers because he is truthful to the umpth degree---unless it is about sex or money!
