Is hardly ever heard
How many on here are 100% honest
Not me as it can be self incriminating and frankly dangerous

Honest about what? Honest in our posting, honest in our everyday lives?
To quote Madness, I'm as honest as the day is long, the longer the daylight, the less I do wrong.
OK, I'm more honest than that but I doubt that anybody is 100% honest in everything, even Mother Theresa. | | | |

Your last line is how I see matters.
I am as honest as I can be in life but sometimes,it’s best not to be .
As regards posting material,it’s certainly fraught with danger and content is always available and that scares me enough to be far more circumspect than I used to be . Who can one trust ?
Who will back you up when trouble strikes ?
I don’t see lack of honesty as lying though . That does make me angry .
Let’s be careful out there | |

…which is my point ,albeit made in long winded fashion.
Could be ingesting debate though. | |

Honesty, freedom of speech, freedom, democracy, truth...any more lies to add to the list? because they don't really exist, not 100%. Not anywhere.
Cynical, yeah. | | | |

To be truly honest I cannot recall the last time I lied , to anyone. That doesn't make me a saint, just boring I suppose. | |

When I was a kid I was walking home with a few mates and we popped in the newsagents and were all daring each other to nick a can of coke which we did. I was so wracked with guilt I snuck in the next day and left 60p on the counter whilst the bloke wasn’t looking.
I couldn’t bear to live with the shame of being a liar or a thief. |  |

Most of us tell inconsequntial lies, things that won't make a great deal of difference besides maybe hurting someone's feelings.
We have all lied to our kids, Santa, the Easter bunny, tooth fairy etc.
Myself and my wife lie to each other at Christmas and birthdays, we haven't bought each other presents we say but we always have.
A lie doesn't have to be a big bad thing and then, there's lying by emission.
I don't remember the last big lie I told but it would be an outright lie if I said I never lied. | | | |

All my kids are grown up and now their kids are at an age where they no longer in Santa , I agree a lie is a lie but I must say it maybe some should be taken in context of why it was told in the first place .When you say lying by emission , do you mean omission ?
I have lied of that I'm sure but like I posted I can't remember when even a small one passed my lips | |

Nice one , work in retail now and the amount of theft and shoplifting is a plague .
Honest and genuine customers are a pleasure to meet , but distraction theives are rife .
Growing up to take something unpaid for off my local corner shop was my family name all over our small village gossip , a no brainer for me them days .
If I see a customer flusterd or confused money wise with cash , help out .
Have returned Tenners and Twenties notes found in my aisle back to Customer Services .
That money could be a lifeline to many struggling families . | | | |

If you want to witness a lack of honesty without actually lying it's worth watching some of the witnesses in the Post Office Horizon Enquiry hearings. Remember that expression 'economical with the truth'? I cannot recall who coined it but it's very apt. | | | |

Never saw much point in being generally dishonest.
Firstly it's hard work keeping your story, or stories, straight. Easier to stick to the truth. Secondly it's easier to navigate life if others know the reality of both you, your opinions and the situations that you're dealing with rather than basing their reactions on a fictional version. Thirdly, if you have a reputation for being an honest and straightforward person, when you do need to lie you'll be an awful lot more believable.
Ultimately in life we generally lie because we don't want other people to find out truths we prefer to keep hidden. If you don't give a damn what other people think then there's no real reason to do it at all. |  |

The truth shall set you free. As young Joesus says carrying lies can cause enormous damage. I find it very bizarre that Islam allows lies as does Talmudic Judaism. Christianity pure most certainly does not. | | | |

Yeah but there is no greater lie in this world than religion. | | | |
