Would you say that lying is totally wrong and should never be done?

Question

Is it wrong to lie? No matter what the situation is? Should you tell the truth if you know your going to get in trouble or hurt the person's feelings if you say the truth? Or should you stick with you "white lies" knowing what he/she won't know won't hurt them?

Answer 1

It's wrong, but much like cheeseburgers, it's necessary.

Answer 2

Yes, lying is wrong in all cases.  If you are in a situation where the truth will hurt someone's feelings then you can try to soften the blow with kind words but in the long run a person would rather know the honest truth.  

Answer 3

Everyone lies its not hard too lie everyone is going too lie. But I Did Lie And I Had To Get The Cops And Everything so its bad lying but too hard not too :]

Answer 4

It is wrong to lie about important things.  However, I do tell a person something flattering in response to their appearance.  If they've already cut their hair, it's too late for them to uncut it if I don't like it, so why should I make them feel rotten by saying "Your hair looks like heck."

Answer 5

Honesty is the best policy except when dealing with dishonest people who wish to harm you and your interests and are not entitled to know the truth.  Information needs to be controlled, otherwise creeps will get a hold of it and misuse it.  Don't trust people until they have proved themselves trustworthy.  

Answer 6
