A BIG FAT LIE OR A LITTLE PORKER?

Can you believe it? Now you may face a lie detector test when you go for an interview? So perhaps in the interests and hobbies section the honest answer of "I enjoy getting pissed, lazing around on the sofa and reading the paper" may have to become the standard answer. (That is unless we are all suddenly going to take up hiking and knitting perhaps).

Integrity hummmmm. How many can actually say they have it?




Not President Bill Clinton. He lied to save his job his marriage and his reputation. Can anyone put their hand on their heart and say if they had done something bad that would ruin all of their relationships and their career that they would not lie about it? Yes it was wrong that he had the affair I am not disputing that. Yes he should have known better. However if I was in that situation I would lie to attempt to save the feelings of those I love and to save my ass.

Lying in my opinion is something we all do every day to be polite, to be accepted and when we just want to get away from someone with minimum hassle. So go on if you want to lie to me carry on because I will take it on the chin and lie right back to you. Unless i do really like you then it may be genuine I will leave it up to you to decide which category you fall into.
