General Chat

I can see what Blue eyes means and NO I would not like to hurt anyones feelings. It's difficult. Does anyone know what the difference is between a fib and a lie or even white lie or are they all just lies?

Maddy................same here:)

I'm also hopeless at keeping secrets as I chat away and let slip things that I shouldn't:(

I have got better at thinking before I speak, but it's hard for me not to wear my heart on my sleeve.

The worst kind of dishonesty is being two-faced..................those type of people are the ones I avoid like the plague.

Honesty is very important to me, as is not hurting people's feelings unecessarily. Like Blue, I would be very careful if someone asked me what I thought of, say a new dress. I may hate the pattern, but it may be to their taste - it's a matter of personal preference. At times like these I employ the wonderful phrases
'Like nothing on earth' and 'Out of this world'.
Different meanings - horrible and lovely - but essentially, taken just as words they have the same meaning - 'Not of this planet'!!!

My children know that if I describe something they have bought as 'Out of this world' I may not like it!!

To be a good liar you need to have a very good memory,this is why I am not a good liar,I also am not a thief,I can't stand dishonest people.

will look back later as have to pop out will be intrested to see any other thoughts.

Very true uggers :))

tory, you don't know any of us are honest, you just know we say we are:)

Uggers I agree it is important to most people to recieve honesty but do they return it.

Its nice to see some honest people.I agree pat.I do understand what you say though Blue eyes .

It would be surprising if anyone said honesty wasn't important to them, wouldn't it?

I think it's one of the most important things in life but I agree with Blue Eyes that there are circumstances where it needs tempering.

If asked a direct question like "is this dress to tight" I would say yes, bu if it was phrased " do you like my new dress" and the person wearin it obviously loves it I would find something to like, what a lovely colour.etc. I'm not lying but not hurting feelings either.

sometimes the mouth is best kept shut......

i've come across a few liars in my time and always feel so let down by them.
honesty is the best policy

Very important I would rather have a thief than a liar. Ay least you know where you stand with a thief. Can't understand why anyone tells lies. OK I know the PC brigade with say we lie to children about Santa but that is totally different.

very importatant , can't see the point of lying, i find hypoccisy even worse xx

To me it is very imortant ,but how do the rest of you feel?
