ChibiV Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I'm glad the board is back, I keep on checking it every single day.

Mist Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1] Hmmm...I'd have to say White Lies, Facades, Ommision, and Dismissal are my biggest.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 [COLOR=green]Omission, Delsuion. I use delusion all the time. I tell myself "You have time to go to OtakuBoards, you can write that three page essay on the bus to school tommorow..." :rolleyes: Omission, I save it for special situations ;)[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegeta rocker Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I'd tell you but i might be lying. hee hee alright corny tastless jokes aside, facades. I find myself in the constant position of lying to keep up my position as what people perceive me to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hideki Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Omission is the only kind of lying I can think of doing:rolleyes: Other than that I'm not liar :lecture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Out-and-out. It's fun. In more delicate situations, I cleverly veer the topic of conversation in a different direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]Lie? Oh boy, I [i]never lie[/i] :naughty: I'm not sure.... I try not to lie at the most..:whoops: But... I never stereotype...[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Solid Snake Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [color=teal]I suppose that I usually use Omission when my parents catch me "teaching" my younger brother. I also use Out-and-Out lies just to joke around. I do this because my friend does it -- he keeps a straight face and tells a total lie. It's pretty funny. Example: "Hey, how many cards do you have?" "10." (a different kid)"How many cards you got?" "12." "Hey! You said you had 10." "I said [i]about[/i] 10." Oh man, you'd had to have been there.[/color] :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiya-jinro Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 White lie. I've only done it a few times though. I'm not a lying person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [color=indigo]I [i]very[/i] rarely, if never, [b]seriously[/b] lie. I hate them with a passion. The only time I lie will be to get me, or another person I know and care for out of trouble. The only hard part is coming up with good reason, explanation, and an alibi. Unless it is something serious, as in a crime, then I won't lie for the person or myself. On the other hand, I only lie in jokes. Like the ever-so-almost-overused Out-and-out lies. Whenever someone asks me in a light manner who did something, out of reflex I always say "Your mom!". I spite how cliche that phrase is, but it has become habit. It still gets laughs though. I only use stereotypes in jokes and humor, and only around people I know won't be offended by anything I say. I don't believe all stereotypes, though some have proven to be pretty accurate...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empathy Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 hmm...for me...I'd prolly have to say facades...if that includes masks...I live in them...they're part of me...very few people have ever seen thereal me...only maybe....3 of my friends have ever seen me really upset...mind you...I don't have much for friends...^_^;;; but the ones I do got are the best anyone could have...but that's off topic...so yeah...for me...facades. Just because of the way I live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juu Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]LOL! Which reminds me... There's a friend of my cousin's that just will not leave me alone in aol instant messanger.... "brb'' ''Huh? Where are ya goin?'' ''I'm gonna go eat my japanese food" "oh..ok" -about 15 min later, I make a post on OB- ''Hey! You said you were going to eat!'' ''..." ''Well...'' ''Um.. when did I say that?'' '' A few minutes ago!!'' ''Are you sure?'' -he's the type of person that closes a window each time- ''...yes.." "I don't remember saying that. I said I was just going to get something" "Hmm.... But I was sure..." "Hmm.. Maybe my keyboard's screwing up" "I guess so..." ---------- - .- It's like he's stalking my comp or something....

RicoTranzrig Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]I rarely lie seriously to people I know or an authority figure (should the need ever arise). Though, when I do, I'm usually guilty of Facades and Omission. People can see through me pretty clearly enough to tell if I'm lying straight out or not, so I just don't, or just have a play on words.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genkai Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 FACADES FACADES FACADES. i mean, raging hormones what can you do? sometimes lying's the easiest way to ease in to a date..(ex: me: "i don't really know if i like you(LIE #1), but do you wanna just try(LIE #2) it out? I mean, there's not much to lose, is there?(LIE #3) I mean, it's only one date(LIE #4)....")...... anyway, impressing someone is best before you get to know them. well, not MORALLY, but whatever...

Lady Macaiodh Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]i think i lie to myself the most. i tell myself everything's okay, when in reality it's really ****ed, & i bury everything i feel. it's not good b/c you could explode (friendly advice).[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven's Cloud Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [color=indigo]I don't need to delude myself...I am the greatest, most perfect person in existence... To be honest (that is a phrase you [u]never[/u] use when you are talking about lying) I used to fibb to my parents when I was in highschool about everything...drugs, booze, sex...but I stopped lying to them when they stopped asking me questions.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I guess I'd have to say omission and dismissal. As I've said before: "I only lie when necessary or convenient." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Voodookanaka Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 straight out lie for me, no doubt, i only lie for my own gain, i have no other reason to, i prefer to just tell someone n hurt their feelings rather than the whole lying and fooling them. -x- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kei Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [color=blue]If I do lie, which I hardly ever do, I only tell white lies, though in the past, I have put on quite a few facades. I don't anymore, though. If people can't accept me for who I am, oh well.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I find it really hard not to lie sometimes.... :rolleyes: And when I do, it's usually a white-lie or omission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
