I lied!

If the chicken lied when she laid the egg why did she lie down in the middle of the road? ;) :devil:

Cos she wanted scrambled eggs for tea?

:D :p
 
In the modern revised words of Epimenides: Litsters are liars.

Never a truer word spoken. ;)

Oh I dunno. A good storyteller always omits the dull, and fabricates the events and actions, even in conversation. Have you ever talked to someone who doesn't? :rolleyes: None pleasant, I assure you. ;)

True Charley.

I was speaking more in terms of interpersonal relationships.

But it's so hard to nail things down. The only absolute truth is that there are no absolute truths and all that.

When asked 'Does this dress make me look fat?', is the answer 'I decline to answer on the grounds that any answer will cause me a lot of pain.' qualify as lying, good, stupid, or simply suicidal?

Baby chicken chatting to mummy chicken.

"Mummy, how do we get born".

"We don't get born darling, we're chicken, we come from eggs, we are laid".

"Oh.... Umm... do humans get laid too mummy".

"Only if they aren't chicken darling".

wellllll..... this could be a bad subject.
i think we need to take the bill clinton stance on this one:

"define lie"

are we to include ommission?
highly subjective subject.
at the end of my marriage, im not ashamed to say, i lied quite a bit to keep the peace. in my relationship now, i have not lied, knowingly.
so, my question still stands: what would you deem a lie?

On a related note: can the truth be a lie?

When my wife asks, "Does this dress make me look fat?" and I answer "No," that's the truth, literally and logically. Does not following up with, "It's the fat that makes you look fat," turn it into a lie?

This would be untrue.

Since the world is an objective reality then the only absolute truth would be absolute truth.

It's only logical.
