Maze Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have asked this question to myself many times. Is lying okay?My parents have lied to me(Santa Claus,Easter Bunny). So, I want your opinion, do you think it's okay to lie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoi_Tu Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 There are white lies and then there are you're-going-to-burn-in-Hell lies. Obviously white lies don't have as dire consequences. Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evaluate Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Lying is only bad when there is real harm that can be done by them. Sometimes lying can even be a good thing when you're doing it to stop someone from being hurt. 7 years 'scape knowledge and counting99 Attack - June 8th 2010 99 Defence - August 2nd 2011 99 HP - December 2nd 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylez Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Lying is a form of self-defence, and in some circumstances is acceptable. I've lied myself, pretty badly. I regret doing so, but often think to myself that it's only normal for a person to lie sometimes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes lying can even be a good thing when you're doing it to stop someone from being hurt. Yes, some types of lying are good. For example: If your mother is 9 months pregnant and she asks how she looks, you won't say that she looks like a cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously lol I personally dont like lying, i prefer to be a straighfoward honest person. I believe little white lies are occasionally ok, but only lying should be used to protect opeople when there is a serious situation at stake.

dragoonson Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Lying is pretty fun.I lie to myself to convince my self I'm doing the right thing sometimes,so my conscience doesn't berserk on me.I lie to my teachers to get out of paying extra,or getting into the worst of trouble,I even build my D&D characters to lie effectively,usually just to get into a fight. Internet however,gives me no reason to lie. so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder!

Balazeal Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 "Okay" implies morality. Whether lying is "okay" or not, simply depends on whether the judge thinks it is, or isn't. Personally, I think that lying is fine, so long as the outcome (or at least intent) justifies the lying itself. 100% F2P99 Defense, Tuesday February 10th 200999 Attack, Tuesday May 26th 200962,189th to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieMcD Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Lying to someone to protect them is a good thing, Lying to someone to make a fool of them is funny. Lying to them to cause them pain / screw them over is bad but leads to funny situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMoreDead Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 In the right context, anything could be considered okay. Child molestation. Lying is alright I suppose, but I avoid it unless I'm dealing with someone emotionally unstable or suicidal. Other than that I HATE to lie and don't do it.

If there was a microchip trigger inside of a childs urinary tract that would set off a bomb in the White House in 2 minutes if confined inside his body, and you had to make him either pee or the other thing, and he didn't have to go pee.
