morality of lying
Lying can be all sorts of thing. mostly it is what the person who is telling the lie is trying to hide. it would be wrong to say that lying is a bad thing. it is just a form of deception. of course, there is always a time where lying is appropriate or not. if somebody is asking you how they look, you arent going to say they look like a piece of crap(unless you really hate them). your going to tell them they look fine. this way they feel better and it makes thing better. now if you asked sombody for some money and said you'd pay them back and never did, that would be a bad way to lie. that is manipulation of sombody's kindness and you should be beat up.

Whoa, whoa -- so lying about someone's appearance, sending them out into public looking like a complete doofus, that's somehow polite? But something as petty as money, not paying back a debt, that earns you a mauling? Why is it that money is so important that lies related to it are unforgivable sins? Who cares? It's only money.
