- astorygirl, on 06/02/2009, -3/+26If everyone told the truth, relationships of all kinds would fall apart and complete social anarchy might well ensue.
- fungusmonkey, on 06/02/2009, -0/+16I actually disagree. I think if everyone was suddenly incapable of lying, society would be a much different place, but not necessarily a worse place. Imagine a world where your girlfriend didn't have to hide her past from you (or where you didn't have to hide your past from her) because everyone everywhere just accepted people for the flawed and sometimes horrible people they really are. Truth is, I think I'd rather live in a world where everyone just dropped the whole pretense of trying to be good all the time and just admitted at their core what they're really like and said what they really meant or felt. I'd rather have someone be honest and hurtful, than be deceptive but complimentary.
- serif69, on 06/02/2009, -0/+9I always lie.
- inactive, on 06/02/2009, -1/+8A cop stopped me for going through a stop sign (on my bike!) and I told him "sorry i didn't see you parked there" which was totally the truth. He had a sens of humor and let me go.
- RBobby, on 06/02/2009, -3/+10The cake is a lie!
- punkcat, on 06/02/2009, -0/+6i submit messageboard and digg comments to back up your case.
truth is people want to be dicks, its fun. - savocado, on 06/02/2009, -0/+6Another pop-psychology article that isn't very amusing.
- Manther, on 06/02/2009, -0/+5Unfortunately, that would only be cool until you came across a person that would shoot you in the face if your honesty was hurtful to them.
Not lying would be cool, but people aren't equipped properly to handle that. Just think of all the ugly high school kids, who only make it through because some people lie to them and say they're not that ugly... - forevernomad, on 06/02/2009, -0/+5The correct answer is always;
"No, the dress is fine, it's your ass that needs some work."
They'll never ask again. - SkippyDoorknob, on 06/02/2009, -0/+5My brain asplode
- Marrach, on 06/02/2009, -0/+5Wait a minute. . . you mean WOMEN LIE?!?!?
But they ALWAYS scream about how they HATE LIARS?!?!?
I Thought they were INCAPABLE of LYING?!?!?!?
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO??? - motivatedguy, on 06/02/2009, -0/+3I'll tell you why we lie...
1. We don't want to go to ***** work and our boss would never let us take off because GTA V just came out. - jamspt, on 06/02/2009, -0/+3Your use of caps make what you say hard to read. Plus it makes it read like you're a crazy person on the side of the road yelling grand theories at cars while they pass.
Have you ever heard of Dr. Bronner's Soaps? Have you ever read one of those labels? - OMGNinjas, on 06/02/2009, -0/+3"It's not a lie if you believe it" - George Costanza
- borez, on 06/02/2009, -1/+3I don't have time to read this, Marlon Brando is coming for tea.
- inactive, on 06/02/2009, -0/+2Much of the weird parts of the truth involve frogs or Arthur Dent
- solecize, on 06/02/2009, -0/+2yep- especially when you are anonymously posting as a punkcat
- solecize, on 06/02/2009, -1/+3This article is a lie
- v10vipe, on 06/02/2009, -0/+2Ricky Gervais is directing a film comedy on this later this year called "The Invention of Lying"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1058017/
I read the script awhile back online (just do a search) and it sounds like it's going to be a modern classic. The cast is awesome too...christopher guest, jonah hill, jason bateman, ect - nepidae, on 06/02/2009, -0/+2That was the best article I have ever read in my entire life.
- diggopolous, on 06/02/2009, -2/+4you're lying.
- yourpaljasper, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1I'm not going to read this article.
- happytrees, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1and the desired outcome involves ass to mouth...
- TheInformer, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1The real reason we lie is to get laid.
- Leezus, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1I think you're making this much more complicated than it is.
Lying is lying. We do it to get what we want. - inactive, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1“Does this dress make me look fat?”
There is no possible scenario when telling the truth to this question would produce a desirable outcome (assuming the true answer is "yes"). - EmilyCragg, on 06/02/2009, -2/+3Lying isn't just about relationship issues. Lying is IDEOLOGY in which we DENY Effects that are before our eyes. Lying is NOT-SEEING. "Americans don't believe in torture," is a lie. "Congress works for the people" is a lie. "Secrecy is necessary for security" is a lie.
- HamstaMan, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1Experts at lying reveal why we lie? Don't believe it!
- FlyinRyan89, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1You can't handle the truth!
- MrOmniscient, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1"Everybody Lies."
- Gregory House - MacParrot, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1I don't believe a word of this article.
- inactive, on 06/02/2009, -1/+2Big Whoppers, another BK viral?
- stuwanker, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1I'll remember never to plan a surprise party for you.
- Kwall, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1I lie so i can get laid.
"why yes, i am in the starting lineup for the yankees" - cbeach, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1The second page had no content besides adverts. BURIED.
- inactive, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1I am being dugg down? What society am I talking about?
Manufactured lies and ego driven nonsense are what held this past society together. Truth will break the mirror in the back of the Wall-Mart, and then you start over again. Learn to shop again. Buy new Magaritavilles. - ultrafez, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1Bam. PARADOX!
- Galphanore, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1The idea is one of the reasons I like the show "Lie to Me", there is a character on their who's trying to practice what he calls "Radical Honesty". He tries to tell the whole truth, in every situation he can. It's both interesting and amusing.
- CrazedLeper, on 06/02/2009, -1/+2Yes, you don't.
- CrazedLeper, on 06/02/2009, -1/+2Again!?
- drewba, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1The title. I see what they did there.
- Leezus, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1No you don't.
- glinsvad, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1I've found that critiquing the attire is the safest out. If all fails, tell her you got confused over whether she meant fat with an 'f' or phat with a 'ph.'
- LogicalWisdom, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1They hate a level playing field :)
You can't lie, they can with impunity, it's a win-win for them. - Leezus, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1Man, I have sooooo much sex.
All the time. - jesseshort, on 06/03/2009, -0/+0how do you know if a dig user is lying? Hes typing about the amount of sex he has with his girlfriend...
- jesseshort, on 06/03/2009, -0/+0???
