I was hardly judging you on your actions. In fact, I think it is clever to control the conversation, as you say. I was merely speaking about my own perspective toward honesty, as it concerns myself.

You are all terribly defensive about all this.

[columbidaring]

When you say things like ‘most people’ you are talking about people besides yourself, though! So, I mean.

[furrytailprince]

I was pointing out the flaw in your use of the term. People do not have to lie, they believe they do for various reasons. It is not quite the same.

[columbidaring]

Wow, you're so defensive about this....

[furrytailprince]

You are the one who apparently finds it strange that I have no qualms about the truth. I think the defensive one here is you.

[columbidaring]

'No qualms about the truth' in general is pretty different from 'no qualms about the truth ever in any circumstance including things like, a stranger asking you your innermost fears or darkest secrets'. You have got to admit the last one is weird.

[furrytailprince]

I told you before, I would not like it, but I would manage it.

[columbidaring]

Doesn't 'not liking it' count as a qualm, though.

[furrytailprince]

It will not prevent me from speaking truth to it.

[columbidaring]

We don't actually have different takes on that. I haven't had a drink this whole game, for example. Honesty doesn't frighten me, and I'm not as married to lies as you seem to think!

But there are people who do need to lie and I think dismissing it as 'they only think they do' is condescending, overgeneralizing, and rude.

[furrytailprince]

I disagree. It is not a need, it is a want. It may have valid reasons, but it is still a want.

[columbidaring]

All right, I think we're done here. Please leave.
