Do you lie to the people on the Internet??

in chat rooms - i dont think all of the people there are telling the truths - by the it is normal that we dont reveal our real identity on the net -

Yup soetimes i do lie on net when some one asks address or other such things on yhe net and then i either lie on just dont tell them all depends on my mood to do it

I guess people might lie to strangers when they are unhappy with theirselves and thier life. I think you have to use wisdom especially in Chat Rooms and such to the extent of personal information you give out - there are dangers in the internet community we hear about all the time -- What goes around comes around, and sure as the day is long - a lie no matter how small you may think it is will one day catch up to you. Oh what a tangled web we weave ... when we start to deceive --- Lying is hard work too, you have to keep up with them and remember who you said what to -- better to use wisdom and honesty ;)

No, why bother? What are they going to do, throw their address books at you for being honest? Seriously, though, lies tend to come back to liars. Much worse is the fact that since all anyone on the net has to go by is what you say, being a known liar makes anything you say doubtful. Say nothing, rather than lie.

Why do we need to lie on Internet. My way of communicating with people on internet is to say truth about what i am. When people ask very personal questions i jus reply them by saying "Why u want to know this" instead of lying. If they are intersted in continuing communcation with me then fine or else we have millions of friends on net.

I trufully am not a liar, therefor even if I want to couldn't lie over the internet even if I wanted to. But I have been lied to and it sucked, it was weird and I often wonder why I even cared, but at the same time it was hard to be able to trust the person again, and you sometimes wonder if you can trust certain things they are telling you. Regardless if it is over the internet or not, you are now someone who lies. I know that in some intances it is a complete stranger, but if you have opened up that door to lie to them, couldnt you just stretch the truth and lie to someone else? Confusing I know but are you getting what I am saying, it makes sense I think.

I never lie to people on the internet. I think it's pointless to lie on the internet or anywhere for that matter. If anything, the internet should be able make you more open and honest about who you are. For example, I discuss things in the myLot community that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole around some people that I know. It's nice to be able to be who you are without any pretenses. I'm for honesty...why not?! If you get used to lying on the internet, who's to say you aren't lying the rest of the time too? Usually when people lie they have to tell bigger lies to cover up their tracks, or they forget what they said in the first place. Honesty and truth are much easier in the long run, and lying just isn't worth it, (imho.)

Well, I'm not a liar and I don't like lying. I just don't think there's anything to lie about on here. I could understand if it's really personal questions and trying to get your identity or informations that will define you. But if I ever do come across something like this, I just avoid it and move on. I don't need to lie. I just avoid it. Learn to avoid personal informations and do what like and not have fear. Well, it's the internet we're talking about here and there's spammers everywhere... it is hard to just trust anyone and tell them anything. But again, I don't like to lie and usually I just avoid them or change the subject.

first of all i don't want to chat on net . i was work at mylot from two month . normally i respond to my friend discussion and if he/she not started new discussion than i have send message why he is not start any discussion during sending message i have send message to arun , he again respond me after that he send request for chating . we both are honest . honestly i have said everythnig and he said me too. Now we are good friends . i think talk only those people whom u want to talk beacuse nobody hide themself for long time .

never. Besie, I never chat with unknown people They ussualy add my msg after they know me well at other forum that I followed. ^^ But I will decline to give personal information. ^^ Decline beter than lie.

actually i dont lie the people on the internet but i donot tell the truth also.

i don't lie in front to the people in internet. when i understand i should not disclose much facts, i just keep mum.

dear it depends upon type and to whom we are talking . sometimes lie works better .

it depends upon the person to whom we communicate...

I don't lie to people on the net, but I don't give out any information about myself that could be used to do my any harm. THere is no reason for the people you met on the net to ask for personal information.

sometimes i lie sometimes not sometimes i confuse thanks

no i dont. I dont like to lie. My friends on net this may be harmful.. but still i cannot see myself lying

lie is something we can use to protect someone or something in our possesion though lying in eyes of God is bad. Is it? =) Well for me, i dont normally lie to the people on the Internet simply because i have nothing to hide. Im a very transparent person and i can tell if the person im talking to has some bad intention the way is he asking me questions.If i sense that, then i can lie a bit just to misled him. =)

i generally dont lie on the internet unless there is a specific reason to do so..

I generally dont lie on the internet... why should i when there is no such benefit by lieing to a person whom u dont know n there r no good or bad consequences of doing so
