I really have no idea what you just said.


Sure, if evry one tolled the truth that would mean the bad stuff to, but people are more aware and exposed when they know the whole story. They might have less faith in loved ones if they know how mean they really are, but at least they will know who the person really is. If there's some jerk that you think is nice because he lies to you, then it's better to know the truth.

I try to keep myself out of positions where I have to lie, because I'm not very good at it. Generally it means never asking questions, as that way there is less to be concealed.

Imagine if politicians had to tell the truth.

China: Hi US.
US: Hello you stupid commie bastards!
China: We thought we were friends!
US: Nope, we just used you for the cheap goods and labor offered by the poverty of your citizens and planned on wiping you off the map after you became to much of a threat and blame it on the terrorists in your country.
China: oh. well then, take this (nuke)

Good point, but then the president would need to announce this to the public and there would be no secret wars, so we could impeach him before he attacks.

Would "not lying" include compulsory telling of the truth?

If they are insulted by your answering the question of "Do I look fat," then they are certainly not a good enough person for you to be friends with and thus when they stop being your friend it was a good thing.

One should always, under any circumstances, tell the truth, no exceptions.
...Matt was no exception to this. When he stood in the street and noticed his chest started to really hurt again, he made the decision to look down. He screamed like a grown man would scream when that grown man sees a laser burning his chest, and that is like a little girl...

Imagine if politicians had to tell the truth instead of partisan propaganda

US: Hello you stupid commie bastards!
China: Greetings, moronic round eyes
US: You do realize that we just used you for the cheap goods and labor offered by the poverty of your enslaved citizens but probably won't have the guts to do anything to stop you in your quest to become a world power that threatens its neighbors
China: we know, we'll invade Taiwan as soon as we modernize our military and can survive economically without your trade


Edited for correctness, since this is all about the truth...

Ssssshhh! We don't want to wake Falcon up to reality.

(Hint: there has been precisely zero change in Chinese culture since the Qing Dynasty. I mean aside from the names. Like "Emperor" became "Party Chairman" and "Local Magistrate" became "Party Secretary" and so on.)

Turning the other cheek as usual, I see?

And if you can't see the parallels in modern Chinese culture to Qing-era culture, then you're either woefully ignorant of both Qing-era China and modern China or you're an idiot.

I'm banking on the second. Betting "Falcon for idiot" is pretty much a guaranteed win.

Or is the implied "China isn't communist" the part that's getting you confused?

[][][], Falcon is an American, they don't tell us the difference between Communism and welfare . At least the Fox Nothing Channel doesn't.
