I had a friend recently exclaim how shocked he was at how easily
people lie nowadays. His wife had been taken in by a scam and he was
just shocked that these people that she got tangled up in lied so
easily and roped her in.
I've noticed this coming. We had an exchange student from China and he
would lie on any web-based form just to get access to the website. I
even asked him, why do you lie that way? And he goes, it's what they
require. And so I give them the information they want and they give me
what I want.
I remember listening to an audio book about an American that drove
through China and most of his stories involved Chinese people lying
openly and easily to get him the rental car, get him able to drive
wherever he wanted, get him supplies, and that sort of thing.
On the home front, we had been training for many years to have our
children lie to get access to whatever web content they want while
porn sites meet the requirements of the law and require somebody to be
age 18.
I don't know of any teenage person that has honestly said, no, I'm not
18, I better not enter this. And even simple white lies that come up,
people just let them roll off their tongue and then explain it away.
When I was raising my children, I told them, I can support you through
almost anything but if you lie to me, I can't support you at all and I
won't defend you.
our politicians lie as a matter of life we've elected a bunch of
lawyers whose job it is to lie professionally and make it convincing
and then make it legal no matter what it what it was that somebody did
or said or stole we've reached a point not aware lies have become way
too easy.
It makes me sad.
