Some animals should never be on leash. And by some, I'm pretty sure I mean all of them expect small children and dogs.

OK, I must be getting old; what's "LAG?"
Click to expand...

It is when you are playing a game and your character stops all of the sudden, and you die from monsters or other players hitting you <usually how it goes. Or you can have your character start rubber banding all over the place and fall off a cliff because of lag. It usually happens when your system or connection is too weak to handle the game, but sometimes it is because of server issues...

And it always seems to happen when your doing something important :twoguns:
 
^^ What - you expected consistency from a politician? No higher allegiance than expedience with any of that lot, whatever their Party affiliation...
 
Yeah, I'd like to see someone present a bill to congress demanding that all representatives and public servants, at ALL levels of government are REQUIRED to tell the truth, no matter what the topic is about. Any violation, no matter how minor would result in immediate impeachment. Then see how many of them vote against it. :poke:

Basically, those people are on OUR payroll, using OUR money to spend on all sorts of stuff. We have a RIGHT to the truth from them. If they don't like that, then go find another job.
 
I don't think any human goes through even a day without saying untruths. That would be impossible and absolutely unreasonable (think the movie Liar, Liar).Telling the truth ALL the time is not reasonable. However, there should be responsibility taken for what are huge lies....or cover-ups. This happens often and should not be tolerated.
 
I don't know about that; I try very hard to tell the truth as often as possible. Even if it's brutal honesty.
If someone doesn't want to hear it, I just won't say it but I'm not going to gloss things over just for the sake of feelings.
There's also a difference between telling the truth and leaving out information.

Also, if I don't know, I will say I don't know rather then embelishing or making crap up.

You don't have kids do you? People tell white lies to their kids all the time. Like when you've just had enough so you say it's naptime even though naptime isn't for another 45 mins. Then there is Santa, the Easter bunny & the tooth fairy. How about the special bottle of monster-be-gone (water) that gets sprayed under the bed and into the closets to help ward off bad dreams. I'm all for brutal honesty but you try telling a 2 yr old that their isn't anything in their closet and to just get over it and go to sleep and see how fast you come up with a magical bottle of water ;)
 
Yes, I have a son who is 11 and he loves science, mostly because I've never really lied to him! (and have never needed anything like a bottle of monster water).
Maybe it's his personality or maybe it's because I try to explain everything to him as much as I possibly can but because of it, he likes to always know "why" or "how" and he's always been quite fearless.
I've taught him that every question has an answer, every cause has an effect and every action has a reaction; good or bad.

One exception I can say is Santa. That's for sure! haha He has always believed in santa and I've never told him otherwise, although he's never asked me directly (I have gone out of my way to leave 'santa evidence' for his enjoyment).
He's never really believed in the others; just liked the candy and treats that are a result.
 
I am brutally honest, even when it comes to my children. I will admit I used little white lies when they were little but when they got older, I tell it like it is!

I have a special needs son who was obsessed with dinosaurs and wouldn't eat or drink, so I would tell him it was dinosaur food.

I believe there is a HUGE difference between what we tell our kids about Santa, dinosaur food etc and adults lying to other adults.
 
I saw that one on Facebook a while ago and have wondered if it's real or photo shopped.

That poor poor thing, if it's actually real...
 
So if your wife asked you if she looked fat you'd say yes if she did? How long were you planning on staying married. There's honesty and then there's saving someone's feelings from harm. I assume then that you never told your son there was Santa Clause, the tooth fairy or anything else? I was told there was a Santa Clause and he even came to the house to visit all of us neighbor kids...I still have a huge love of science....telling little lies to keep people from feeling bad is not a bad thing. I'm hoping even if you think someone's baby is not all that cute that you won't tell the proud parents that you think that!

Yes! I've always asked for complete honesty in my relationships and my boyfriend has absolutely no trouble telling me how he feels, and I appreciate it! There are *always* tactful ways of telling the truth.

As for babies, I've never had anyone ask. If I don't think it's cute, I just plain and simply don't say anything. ;)
If I'm ever asked directly, I will not lie.
You know, people usually don't ask, most humans just offer up more information than what is necessary.

I can guarantee I've embelished or told white lies before but I can't remember when the last time that would be and I try extremely hard not to. I don't find it productive.
