If a person tells another that they look beautiful today, when you really think that thier choice of attire is atrocious, and this is done for the sake of not hurting their feelings .. is that telling the truth, or lying?

If a person says they are going to quit posting here, then come back and continue posting, justifying it as changing the mind .. is that a deception? One word today, a different word tomarrow .. is still two different words.

If a person fails to answer a question because they don't want their honest opinion to be known .. is that a deception?

If a person reveals a confidentiality .. is that decieving the person who trusted in them?

If a person makes an assessment, basing it off of the word, or experience of another, when there is no evidence .. is not trusting in your own ability to be your own judge decieving yourself?

If a person maintains that they are capable of telling a lie, then does so .. is that a deception?

Men .. if your woman asks you if her butt looks fat in her jeans and you tell her "no" to protect your own hide .. is that a lie?

Ladies .. if you ask your man if your butt looks fat in your jeans (knowing full well what your ass looks like), for the sake of making yourself feel better about your fat ass .. is that a deception?

Here's something .. people in here know that I am technically challenged .. a few had to guide me step by step to put up pics in here, to show me how to do smilies .. why, I can't even pull up anyone else's pics .. yet, there IS someone who is a program administrator, or whatever it's called ..

Who just happened to accuse me of removing a thread in here, that he just so happened copied to his cache at work .. why would someone copy a particular thread?

Furthermore, this particular thread didn't dissappear until AFTER the person who stole it, realized he made an err in judgement .. then came back and made the accusation that someone who doesn't even know what a back-up is, much less how to it .. of deleting this said thread.


If someone does something in an attempt to save face and then accuses the other of commiting this "something" .. is that a deception?

Hypothetical Situation:

An adult daughter runs to the family home to hide after an arguement with her husband. The husband goes to his wife's family home in an attempt to mend the issue with his wife - another argument ensues between wife and husband.
The father of his adult daughter begins an arguement with the husband of his daughter, for purposes of what he deems is protecting his child.
This causes the adult daughter to then turn on her father, to protect the husband.
The father and adult daughter become entangled into an arguement.
The husband then engages into fist fight with the father, thinking he is protecting his wife.
This causes the wife (father's daughter) to now turn against her husband to protect her father.


All three parties envolved in this dispute feel within their right to honour their own integrity, by protecting what they believe is just, for they have a firm belief of their own individual sense of values .. they would all three be correct, even though all three are at opposition with each other.

Who's code of ethics would supercede in this ambiguous scenerio?

wow. as for the hypothetical situation, I would say all of them are right. They just need to release some tension. I think they all have common ground- love for one another. However, they seem to lose control and contradict themselves when emotions rise in them.

They all need to settle down, think things through, and then get together later on to peacfully discuss their issues.

But the reason they were battling is because they met at the WRONG time. When the girl was emotional, it caused a chain reaction of emotions in all three parites. It apparently caused unnecessary drama because none of them could think rationally.

I guess people shouldn't try to talk things out when they're on edge or with emotion. They should count to ten or something and analyze the situation thoroughly.
