Hope you enjoyed your Saturday too.<BR/><BR/>Mimi - Well, it's not necessarily lying, but it's not telling the full story either. I guess whether it's deceitful depends on whether the listener has a right to know. Over in the UK, being "economical with the truth" is a euphemism for deceitful.<BR/><BR/>Blog In The Rough - I read a book last year, Derren Brown's "Tricks of the Mind", that had a section on how to tell when somebody was lying, but I still don't have a clue if someone's lying to me. To be honest, I'm not sure how useful it would be; if I knew someone was lying to me, I'd be wary of accusing them of being a liar, just in case I'd misread things, and if I did confront them with it they'd probably just deny it (after all, they're a liar) and it could just make things worse. Depending on the lie, it might be better for me to just carry on in blissful ignorance.An Eerie Tapestryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10508055666910759925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451184901849680711.post-2045152000427457802009-03-02T01:56:00.000+00:002009-03-02T01:56:00.000+00:00The fox channel here in the U.S. just came out wit...The fox channel here in the U.S. just came out with a show a few weeks ago called "Lie To Me" based in Washington, DC, about a group of FBI/CIA like ppl who have a really good grip on telling when ppl are lying or telling the truth. They get hired to help investigate crimes etc, and they show facial examples during the show. I now am an expert at lying and telling if others are lying after only 3 shows, lol.A Blog In The Roughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484905912366572794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451184901849680711.post-4529273213965471512009-02-28T18:13:00.000+00:002009-02-28T18:13:00.000+00:00Is lying by omission still lying?
