lying is bad thing as per mine and perhaps as per every religion, but its also said that if one lies for the good of others, then its fine. i once had to lie which i still regret for my friend, i went to the school to get the final year result reports, my friend decided that he will stay at his home and i will go to school and give him the news. so it happened, i got the news, i was pass though he was not, so it was hard for me to tell him in his face and infront of his mom that he has failed, so i lied to him, i can still remember that moment, the relief his mom got and he was so happy, but then later when school started it was clear for him that he failed as i advanced to next standard and he did not, from that day itself he looked at me in a strange manner and i never got the guts to talk to him, and thus our friendship was broken.

That was not a smart thing to do.

~-~I really haven't been in a position where a lie could do me anything. I'm even counting letting a fart in the car I can hold it in so it really isn't me. Plus, I know that if I tried I'd mess it up.~-~ ~-~Added: And because of this everyone trusts everything I say. (cuz they haven't been disappointed) So I'm saving that to use a crap load of white lies if I get a little too frisky with my gf.~-~
zero you are right pal, it was too hard for me to say the truth there, boom i know it was wrong but then thats all i can do then. well there was a famous character, that is person of mahabharat times, he was someone how would always act religiously and would never lie, and at once when he was forced to lie, he did a smart move, as when he was inquired he replied "could be could not be" so he still did not lie. not to mention he was the best amongst five brothers.
Hmm.. I never have a reason to lie, but I'm only honest if the truth is deserved and I'm only truthful with the people I respect. So If there is no respect or the truth isn't deserved I do not have a reason to disclose the truth, therefore I am not obligated to share the truth. I am not going to lie for no reason, but if a lie is warranted and will improve my situation or eliminate my problem I will have no reason to divulge the truth.
 Sometimes a person must lie. Not everyone appreciates nor respects honesty, so not everyone deserves the truth. They only know what they need to know. Being too honest leads to trouble. Gullibility is a weakness that others take advantage of. Cheating & lying dominate fairness & honesty, so don't be a sucker. Sometimes you must lie, because sometimes it's a need to know basis and the knowledge is determined by the need.
This year my friends switched their lockers (just by popping some empty lockers) and you guys know that they ome in sections so there section(about a little less than from one arm stretched out to the other)was a little loose and they started to pull at it little by little and it got even more loose and the lockers got further out and one day the janitor came by and started to fix it by taking that whole section out of the wall. Some other people including me were standing there watching(we don't usually see lockers out of the wall)hime take out stuff in the wall and replacing it and hitting the lockers with a hammer to put the metal back in allignment. Afterwards he asked us who did it because they had to pay a lot of money for the repairs and he was like "if you know who it is tell me, and if you know and you don't tell me thne you'll have to pay the same amount as them and/or get detention."
So I lied and said I don't know who has been doin it.
His family doesn't have much extra money so does that count as a good lie or a bad one?
Your selection is number three again. ;) My selection is number four. I rarely lie but I do when I have to, for example when i'm in danger of getting a kickin'.
