Oh Ian..... you've won me over. ;-0(
It is so awful when I find myself to be so wrong.

Hands up for a completely dishonest world folks?

I don't think they are gonna vote for yah Ian............

I feel that, in the interests of informed debate and because I can't help myself, that the voice for the opposing view should be heard.

Now consider this.

If everyone was honest, what sort of world would we live in, eh? I mean, there would be hundreds of thousands unemployed. No police, no security guards, no burglar alarm manufacturers, no attack dog trainers, no heavy duty padlock manufacturers - the list just goes on and on.

You would miss the merriment of the corner shop keeper holding your £20 note up to the light every morning when you go for your 20 Lamberts. There would be no traffic wardens to hurl abuse at. Honesty boxes in the tube station instead of ticket machines.

Sandwiches with fillings right through them instead of just the edges. Sales in stores with genuine reductions. Imagine the effect on politicians!

No, come on, fairs fair. Dishonest can be good.

Yes Chris, I'm sure we must all do that to prevent hurting people... but I'm sorry, I do not consider that lying.
Although it undoubtedly is!

And IAN..... I really believe that about you... in 32 years... what a man! ;-0)

on the nose .

That is so well said Kitty... that is how I feel.

Loyalty, honesty, respect.... what kind of relationship would there be without them?

Or am I too demanding?
no answers necessary, they would not change me... I'm afraid I am pretty rigid in this respect.

Honesty goes hand in hand with trust I think........................ being lied to breaks that trust.

Once broken it can sometimes never be mended and causes so much hurt to the people involved.

I absolutely detest liars and hate being lied to.

hi tor~~

i don't do lies there is absolutely no point in it whatsoever- my face would give me away anyway!!and besides life is too complicated at times to be bothered with remembering what you have or haven't said.

i've worked with quite a few (and still do) the stories get more elaborate each time and there is always some sort of drama going on, or not as the case may be.anything for a bit of attention in my opinion.

when one person in particular tells me something i switch off and nod or say yeh oh yeh.but they defnately do not pull the wool over my eyes even though they may think they have.

I think serial liars do not really set out to con people
but are victims of low self esteem and try to make their lives seem more interesting etc., My daughter head a friend at school who was a lovely girl but told loads of lies, mainly to make herself look more exciting. Her friends were not taken in by this and tolerated her. I really think she almost believed them herself. Other types of liars lie because they have no sense of conscience, i.e. criminals.

Hayley------ I believe you!

I agree in all my 29....am the same

I don't lie. In all my 32 years, I have never told a porky.

I saw once on here someone lie not a little one...but a hughed serious one....and it caused a right row and bad vribes on the board for weeks.......to this day I shall never undersand why ? She was a well respected member or so she thought....But just goes to show....

I agree with that Chris, I think serial liars really do believe they are telling the truth,


I'm sorry you were hurt by your Mum,

I agree with Ann...I left a beautiful Liberty shawl in a restaurant in London once, returned wthin minutes and it was gone! However I did lose a ring in a Ladies loo and that was handed in, so there are plenty of honest folk about!

People who lie compulsively often have a self-esteem problem, I once knew someone like that and ended up dis-believing EVERYTHING she said. There are also those who are dishonest in a manipulative, machiavellian way - very nasty, I had the misfortune to have a boyfriend in this mould.

I try to be honest, I am also very reserved so would tend to 'keep it shut' rather than try to 'white lie' - sometimes, though, you are not allowed the luxury of saying nothing!

Funny funny..miss cute... whatsist... ;-0)
