Anyone one else think that it is hilarious? This thread is essentially asking a lier to tell the truth about lying? Recently a girl asked me if i'm a lier, I said no (I lied through my teeth) she bought it, I then pointed out what is the point of asking a supposed lier a question that involves the truth. The circular reasoning is rather funny to me.
I do not lie. I do however, feel no remorse about allowing others to assume or extrapolate incorrectly. If confronted, I will always respond with the logical retort "You never asked". If specified, I will respond truthfully.
This behavior is taken to its logical extreme in games of intrigue, allowing me to make very specific agreements, alliances, and deals, and yet manipulate other players in ways they fail to anticipate. This has lead to me being regarded by those who play against me frequently, as some Mephistophelean figure.

In everyday occurances and in relationships and what not, I never lie, it just fucks everything up.
Now, when me and my buddy go fly off to college towns to party (we're both pilots, and have our own plane.) We will make up a background story for our trip.
A few...
We're snowplow drivers from Colorado, down in [insert city here] for a fun weekend.
We're cowboys from Wyoming getting our commerecial pilots license and decided to stop in [insert city here]
Department of Defence contractors who were looking for recruits, but decided on a night out
Missionaries practicing flying for our depolyment overseas where we'll be bush pilots
and many more...

I rarely lie, although I still do it from time to time. I try to act honestly to others. I guess people who follow the rules don't need to lie.
Well, little white lies and half truths may be told if there's a sticky situation. I'm not proud of it, but I'm a good liar.
However, with that great power comes also great responsibility. So I tell the truth as much as possible.
And I don't lie to my girlfriend. Never. Ever! She finds out, and then I'm in so deep shit that I have to shovel feces for a week just to get my head over it.

I try not to outright lie, but if it suits my purposes I'll mislead them or misrepresent the truth. So it's not technically lying, I usually just make it appear to be other than what it is.
I hate lying, and apparently I am quite bad at it. I'm not saying I haven't lied (i'm sure everyone has told a white lie at some point) but I tend to avoid it when possible. I don't like ripping people off, and I don't like it when people lie to me, so I try and treat people the way I want to be treated. I also don't make promises I know I can't keep.
The only lies i can do are so-called 5-second lies. Basically, to me i tell something, and a bit later, i tell it was a joke. Sometimes people find it funny, other times they want to slap me. What can i do about it, if i was born this way ???
Also, about real lying: i really can't do it. I mean, i can't tell someone over the phone a normal lie. For example, i once was playing D&D with my pals, and one of the players who wasn't there called me and asked me if another friend was near. Yes he was ,but he really wanted me to say that he wasn't , so that's what i did. And the outcome was pathetic: i panicked, felt ridiculously guilty and mumbled something about him being "somewhere" and quickly hung off the phone. I just can't lie such a thing, it makes me feel bad, i guess. Even a day after that, i still remembered doing that and felt bad. That's my personality and i can't change it.

I hate lies, I hate being lied to and I hate being forced to lie. The thing that gets to me the most is when you straighten someone out when you find them lying and then the lie continues after you already proved it was a lie... especially when its a different person who was present at the time that is continuing the lie.
I'm sure I lie about minor things without realising it. But more often than not when asked a question or when there's no reason to lie, I tell the truth. I also make it a point never to lie to my lady friends.Dr Grimoure said:
I have a bit of a problem with lying since I'll randomly lie to people for no reason. And I'll never try to correct my previous lie. I actually enjoying lying though its mostly white lies or convenience lies (where am I from, whats my name, why's my accent weird, where have I lived etc.) The big ones I save for when I really need to lie. On the other hand (yes this is rather hypocritical) I hate being lied too.
I swear to tell the truth; the whole truth and only the I have a good memory and over the years have become good at lying. I never do it to impress, often for entertainment and, come to think of it I really don't know why I lie.
There is almost never a purpose for my lies, odd.
Yet I tell lies like some people use capital letters.
Odd. I think I'm gonna try to be honest from now on.

The only time I ever lie is to mess around with people. Then I ususally fess up after five minutes of hilarity
