    Telling the truth will always win over lies.

    I'm not sure if politicians and a lot of public relations people would agree.

    Unfortunately, some private individuals think lying is the way to go, with their general lives. Pathetic, but thats what they are...

    I'm a terrible liar,but I also think I'm pretty cool in my own way.Not that coolness is something I aspire too.In fact coolness makes me cringe somewhat.As a word it has become very weak and is a password to boring.Sometimes people learn to lie out of necessity,then it becomes habit.

    Liars and thieves are cut from the same cloth. Cool has zilch to do with it.

    people who tell the truth, because it takes more guts to do so.

    people condemn each other for refusing to tell themselves the same lies as they do, so liars are taking the easy way out.

    Truthers For Me Every Time...[​IMG].

    I Guess I'm Very Biased On This Subject Because I'm Approaching The

    End Of A Legal Stoush Between Myself And My Brother Which Has Been

    Raging For 13 Years...:(.

    He Has Been Described By So Many People Including His Own Lawyer,

    As A "Pathological Liar", And I Would Have To Say Never In My Life Have

    I Had The Misfortune To Meet A More Pathetic Excuse For A Member

    Of The Human Race...:(.

    If A Man's Word Cannot Be Believed,

    Then In My Eyes, He Is Not A Man...:(



    Cheers Glen.

    Where im from, 'I call it as I see it' is usually dead on 9 times out of 10. If it walks like a duck, Quacks like a duck, Chances are its a fuckng duck and if you need more reasoning, You are a day late and a dollar short up stairs.

    Liar's are fun to listen to and tune out too. Its easy to sift through who is and who is a normal person. Everyone lies, But its to the extent of the lie(s) that make the stupid shine.

    Where im from, You run across the jack of all trades, Master of none. A guy who can go from a tractor discussion, To his experience with nasa. Jumps around and cant really hold a conversation.
    If they think its cool, Put your money where your mouth is. In my area we don't have time for 'a song and dance' and you will be called out quickly.

    To each their own, Different in all areas of the world except the people who try/have to lie to fit in or be 'cool'. But little lie's like, 'No that shirt and pants match and don't make you're ass look huge' isn't hurting anyone, And is a true asshole if the truth be said.
    IMO that's common sense and respect for others personal feelings. If it is truly bad and you have to say somethine, Romantic elegance on eggs shells is your best bet.

    Truth is preferable. Given that those who are spouting the truth also have some decorum of social skills.

    Nothing cool about lying.

    Unless it's a variation of "No dear, you don't look fat in those pants" when asked by a loved one.

    Even then, it's more wise than cool.

    I don't feel the need to be rude or mean to people- like, if I don't like someone... I don't feel the need to offend them by telling them that. It's not important who I like or don't like. (I also do not feel the need to kiss someone's ass or pretend to like them if I don't either- I just don't need to say anything to someone about how I feel if I don't like them.)

    Anyways, I can't stand liars and prefer honesty always.

    Who is cooler? Ambient temperature has a greater impression than how we represent ourselves.

    The night started thus:-"Babe-in my unworthy opinion,that dress does not do justice to your full,ripe,femaleness". "Are you saying I look fat in it,you PIG?!"

    I can say-honestly-that I used to have a girlfriend.
    ...but like a prat,I told her the truth.

    For some reason,me saying "The last time I saw an arse like that,Lester Piggot was whipping it!" just wasn't appreciated.

    I can also say with honesty-she had a right hook George Foreman would be proud of.

    "Plain talkers" are usually just people full of spin ie shite and lies.

    People who are genuine are able to be truthful, diplomatic, measured and tasteful.

    edit:I think good will/constructive are the words I might be looking for.
