What are you supposed to do when you find out someone's lying to you? Or maybe it's not lying, but just withholding the truth.

	Lying vs. lying by omission? What's the distinction that I'm missing there, darling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright. Let me explain this in easy to understand words. The sky is purple polka dots vs I don't know what color the sky is (when you clearly do). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Congratulations on the birth of your very own fallacy, sweetheart. Should I be buying pink balloons or blue?

More like, the sky is purple polka dots vs I know that the sky is purple polka dots but I think that it might upset you and so I'm deliberately going to withhold that information.

Both lies. Both betrayals of trust, which is the definition of a lie. I'm not justifying either, but it's still the same amount of bullshit.

	So long as we agree that it's all bullshit, I suppose we're on the same page. I just don't get it. Okay, it might upset me. But when I find out, I'm going to be more upset, and now that's going to be directed at the person who didn't tell me in the first place because they felt that my ignorance was easier to deal with. Ugh. People. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's the mark of weak people. Better to defend a lie than apologize for the truth, in their minds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Or they just think I'm stupid and won't dig on my own to figure out what they aren't telling me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think it's usually a bit of both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	truth 2013-11-04 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	Well. Now I know, and I'm pissed. So they get to deal with that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rightly so, sweetheart. (Reply to this) (Parent)
