Ever been lied to? Which lies do we gloss over and which lies make us feel guilty? What's the thing about lying and those that accuse someone else of lying to them? Finally, what's the deal about lying to Congress! Are there levels of lies or good and bad lies. Liers Liers pants on Fires.
I'd rather hurt someone's feelings then lie. If they can't take the truth I don't want to know them. Congress hahaha they are mostly khaza find out who they are and what you're seeing will make more sense. Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
When it comes to automotive repair I've seen it from both sides... The Toyota Stealerships are notorious for this because capitialism trumps honesty. And when I work on other people's cars and save them money, I know the feeling of being tempted to make excuses. I don't like being dishonest and don't do it. At same time, I know that when it comes to car repairs that people don't understand, they're just gonna go with what they're told and telling them the truth is hard for some.
I glanced over the national news feed yesterday about the CEO of facebook lying to Congress. I just read the headline as I do with most news currently. After I posted this new thread this morning I scanned the national news feeds again and found that the headline was removed from at least two of the big online news feeds. The only way I was able to find updated info on the headline was to google / duckduckgo the headline. Probably not so strange is that the Musk / Twitter story is up multiple times on the news sites now. So one headline burried (for whatever reasons there are for it's disappearing act) and a new one to take it place. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg breaks his silence as Congress demands answers after whistleblower testimony https://slate.com/technology/2022/12/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-cambridge-analytica-sec-deposition.html
Actually, all of them. Whether it's people having beer in a back garden, or people collected into a group for political purposes, or people involved in a transaction, or people in tuxedos and nice dresses (generally, each person in one or the other - wearing a tuxedo and a dress would be weird) standing around with champagne and canapes. All of them require the odd white lie for everyone to get along OK. "Your arse looks huge in that dress and these arancini are awful" is the first kind of truth-telling that I think would make @Raphael Muscarelle 's fellow partygoers somewhat uncomfortable. But there would be similarly uncomfortable applications for truth in most of the other party definitions too.
I was thinking about one Party like the Party in the Movie Nacho LIbre, where the richy rich hob nob with eash other while making fun of the losers that couldn't get into the Party if their lives depended on it.
Pends.... Is it really lying when you lie to a bunch of liars? Personally, I sort of like the idea of a mandatory minimum sentence when you get caught lying to a congress critter.....but I also believe that this ought to apply to congress lying to their constituents. It would be much more effective than....say, term limits.
Sage advice from Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."
Or in the Passantino version, if you don't remember anything, they can't say you're not telling the truth.
