I know people like to hate on lying, but we can't live without it.Greetings, Jerry. :2wave:
Sometimes the truth can be brutal, as in "do you think I look fat in this dress," so that's why sometimes silence is better. You can always hedge by changing the subject, though, as in "I liked the one you wore the other day better." We all hedge.... :mrgreen:
If I ask "what is your bank account number and pin", any answer other than that information is a lie. Even not answering is a lie of omission.
Privacy is dishonesty because you're concealing. Carrying a concealed gun or knife or pepper-sprey is dishonesty because you're keeping the knowledge of that item's presence from people.
This forum's rules require you to be dishonest by prohibiting you from publishing personal information or your account name & password.
Everyone is willing to accept some level of dishonesty.
