When is it ok to tell a lie?

Yes of course deception is a form of lying My example is a commonly held definition though. Do a bit of research. Might make you think.

 

Wen I wa 6 1977 my great gran died whilst stood at th back door with a friend of hers she pointed up to the brightest star in the sky,think it's the north star and said,see that bright star there it's your nan looking over you,it comforted me,any one out there with a young one who's lost a loved one might be worth a try because it helped me.

 

When you're telling people how much you get paid on a football bulletin board.

 

A comonly held definition of what, when it comes to the Tories rather than all the other similar lying others?

 

Apparently if you play with your belly button your bum won’t fall off…

 

There are lots of stars brighter than the North star (Polaris), most nights these days with light pollution, it can be quite difficult spot.

I'm not lying.

 

It's in the North.

 

It wa 1977 a wa 6 but it deffo helped me,and I'll use it where ever possible,to young age of cause.

 

I think I missed your humour in that post,
AM NOT LYING!!

 

That's just nasty lol.

 

I did some WW1 genealogy for a friend. The family were immensely proud of the old man, his story was that he'd been wounded at Gallipoli, the ship carrying the wounded hit a mine and he was picked up and made POW by the Turks....after over two years he escaped and made his way back through war torn Europe finally getting home in 1920. Unfortunately his family had no service record or medals for him, this is not unusual as over 60% of records were lost in a WW2 fire...and medals are often lost, sold or were never claimed.
I found out that his Grandfather had joined up....multiple times, deserted, committed thefts and multiple bigamies and spent his time in Liverpool jail. I generally believe in warts n all history but I just didn't feel right shattering their illusions, so I said I couldn't find anything at all.

 

When it's OK to lie:-
A young man goes home to see his Mum & Dad to give them some terrible news. He says I am sad to tell you I have been diagnosed with terminal cancer and I've 3 months to live. They are devistated and shocked. An hour later he says, I am sorry but I lied. My truthful news is that I need to tell you I'm gay. Initially telling a lie was his way to soften the blow as his second news sounded like good news after the first.

 

That's actually correct. If one manipulates one's navel, even vigorously, there has been no recorded instance of 'bottom detachment'.
