Is honesty REALLY the best policy??

I wish California could secede from the rest of the United States OR I wish the south would rise again..as another country.

I think that the right wing religious folks in the US are just as dangerous as ISIS or any other extremist terrorist group

I think most politicians are psychopaths or sociopaths...as are the people who are pulling their strings

There a plenty of cases when the cover-up is worse than the lie itself, so generally yes in my opinion.

Of course, the closet is a whole nother animal that I don't think whoever came up with "Honesty is the best policy" was actually thinking of.

According to Aristotle:


"Piety requires us to honor truth above our friends."

--from "Nicomachean Ethics" (Book I, 1096.a16)

«Tous les hommes naissent sincères, et meurent trompeurs.»

Luc de Clapiers, Marquis de Vauvenargues: Reflections and Maxims (1746), 521 [= Œvres de Vauvenargues, Édition Nouvelle, Paris 1857, p. 448]

«All human beings are born sincere, and all die as deceivers.»

If honesty was the best policy, then when a wife asks her husband "Honey, do these pants make me look fat?", the husband would reply "YES" if they do make his wife look fat. Instead, I suspect that most just try to avoid this type of question

It depends.

Screw honesty when your hubbie is found with some so called bi guy!

Trouble in paradise?

Ha, if someone asked me that, I'd say, "your ass is the same size no matter what you wear!" Lol
