Is it OK to LIE?

Lying is NEVER acceptable! not in my world! I absolutely HATE being lied to.. whether it be a white lie or a lie to make me feel better about something OR even protecting me. I don't lie and I expect the same respect from those around me. Trust is a terrible thing to lose...

i think its ok as long as youre doing this for good, example your protecting yourself or someone else's.

I think that in some situations it's okay to lie. If you do it because someone don't really need to know the truth because you know the person will get hurt, i think it's okay.

Personally, I think its only ok to lie when you're trying to surprise someone and telling them the truth would just blatantly spoil the surprise :) like if your wife/husband/gf friend or whatever asks you where you were all day or what you were doing you could make something up instead of saying i was shopping or i was at this mall or something like that... but I guess maybe what could also be considered a white lie are the euphemisms we might use to say we're unemployed (we're in between jobs, we're looking for a job, we're doing ok) or had a fight (we're disagreeing on xxx or its nothing...). I dunno there's so many of those out there... can anyone else think of something like that?

i think it ok to lie if your intention is good, if youre protecting someone or if youre tryinbg not to hurt someones feelings.

whether it's a white one or not... as a teacher, I always remind my students not to be used in engaging themeselves into a dishonest act... may the means nor ends are good...
