Do you know what really gets on my nerves?

[Robert_Smith]

..When people say things like 'Liars always get found out'...

 

This is a total fallacy and factually untrue.

 

People always come out with this crap at the dinner table, but then I need only mention one name - "Jimmy Saville"...

 

Then the whole table goes quiet, and those who were making such claims initially, start to get red in the face..

 

History is littered with men and women who have gotten away with whatever crimes they have committed, so spouting a blanket statement such as the one above really gets my blood boiling.

 

Regards,

Bob.

The idea that all liars get caught is an oversimplification that ignores the complexity of human behavior and the systems that allow some lies to persist. It can be hard to accept, but it’s important to acknowledge that things aren't always as clear-cut as we’d like them to be.

 

Better examples than Saville would be....

Every one of bi polar bobs threads are lies. Each and every one. Every poster here knows it.

Better examples than Saville would be all the ones we have never heard of. The ones who are good at it, - like Saville but better.

Frank & John both got caught in the end. One served time and became on FBI agent and the other was executed.

Wow bob.  Social commentary. Way cool.

"..When people say things like 'Liars always get found out'...

Agreed 100%. A quintessential example: politicians. Politicians lie with abandon. "Liar" is pretty much a synonym for "politician."

I don't. Or am I lying now?

[Cameroni]

Hiding the truth, lying, these are as intrinsic to nature as night and day.

 

Honesty is not just overrated, it is actually an impediment to life. If everyone always told you the truth you would be a psychological wreck.

A quantity of posts removed.

 

A reminder to all members: If a topic isn’t for you, simply move on. Personal attacks and acidic comments add nothing to the discussion and will be removed.

 

Constructive debate or contributions are welcome, but targeting others with hostility is not. If necessary, a heavier hand will be used to enforce this. Let’s keep the forum a place for mutual respect and discussions, not personal attacks and vendettas.

What really grinds my gears is that while liars do usually get found out (maybe after death), some liars get away with it.

 

“It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear."

It isn't that you won't be found out because that is all too easy for me 99% of the time.  It is that you might be found out and it doesn't add to the quality of a person you are nor  improve the odds of living a satisfactory life.

 

It is very rare for me to lie.   Not something I'm proud of and somehow convince myself it is the best alternative.  It probably isn't and I was just to lazy or weak to not lie.  It is best to take the attitude that it is what it is and deal with it.

 

I haven't lied to my woman in 4 years.  I make a habit of not having to!  Hard initially considering this is Thailand.

[Lacessit]

I rarely lie, when I do it is with good motives. I don't lie to manipulate people.

 

When I find someone has lied to me, I assess it it from the viewpoint of the damage done. The person either goes on a treat with caution list, or gets shut out of my life entirely.

If I told a lie when I was a little kid I would either get the belt or the wooden spoon.

   You get annoyed at dinner tables when you are boasting about how rich and virile you are and how many times a day you have sex , and someone comments "Liars always get found out " ?

   That annoys you ?

Don't worry about the weirdos, the freaks. 

 

Stay under the radar and remain a good person..
