Some lies are so well disguised to resemble truth, that we should be poor judges of the truth not to believe them.

A lie (also called prevarication) is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others, often with the further intention to maintain a secret or reputation, protect someone’s feelings or to avoid a punishment. Lying is typically used to refer to deceptions in oral or written communication. A white lie would cause no discord if it were uncovered and offers some benefit to the liar, the hearer, or both. White lies are often used to avoid offense, such as telling someone that you think that their new outfit looks good when you actually think that it is a horrible excuse for an outfit. In this case the lie is told to avoid the harmful implications and realistic implications of the truth.

The most commonly cited milestone in human development, is known as Machiavellian intelligence, is at the age of about four and a half years, when children begin to be able to lie convincingly. Before this, they seem simply unable to comprehend that anyone doesn’t see the same view of events that they do — and seem to assume that there is only one point of view: their own.

The capacity to lie has also been claimed to be possessed by non-humans in language studies with Great Apes. One famous case was that of Koko the gorilla; confronted by her handlers after a tantrum in which she had torn a steel sink out of its moorings, she signed in American Sign Language, “cat did it,” pointing at her tiny kitten. It is unclear if this was a joke or a genuine attempt at blaming her tiny pet.

As men I think we are predisposed to lie I honestly think its embedded in our DNA somewhere, A man who says he has never told a lie has just told one. Lies are like the body’s self defence mechanism which has a button (that reads something along the lines of – in case of emergency pull switch) which provides men with the all to common evasive behaviour and random generated lie when cornered, next to this switch there is a huge red abort button, which makes us tell the truth as we think about the consequences of our actions! In a split second a man has to make a decision of titanic proportions; either tell the truth and get in trouble now or lie and try and get away with it or face the consequences at a later date. I think Neo in the matrix had an easier decision between the blue or red pill. Now which button do you think is used most?

Now I am not advocating that you should ever tell a lie, white or black but being creative with the truth can save your ass until you get caught then you are screwed! I think that some men should be held accountable for the stupid lies that we tell to protect someone we care about, or ourselves as it’s usually about saving our asses after we have messed up!

Before you ask have I ever told a lie in the past? Have I ever been caught out with a lie? Let me just say any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well. That does not mean I am condoning lying, I am just saying not everyone can lie. After all, what is a lie? But the truth in masquerade.

Let me give you a scenario;

You tell a white lie to protect someone in your life and to protect yourself! Then the person you are lying to digs under the surface and picks up on the truth then your screwed as women hate nothing more than a lie! Actually that’s a lie they hate cheating, however don’t cheat and lie cause then you are screwed! And you’re on your own; no amount of advice is going to save your skin – undoubtedly unleashing “the fury for which hell hath no” on any man who breaks both the rules.

There have been some famous lies in the past that initially was covered up; however once the surface was scratched the truth came out and opened up a whole can of worms! famous lies in the past

1. Bill Clinton

What Bill did: Took the term “Executive Privilege” to new heights by receiving blow jobs from chunky White House intern Monica Lewinsky, while serving as President of the United States and Leader of the Free World. Which he promptly lied about. Then causing the entire world to be creped-out when the details were finally released. Not a very smooth move by Mr. Bill. He lied to Hillary also at first, then the morning he had to testify he confessed the whole thing, making her realize that she’d been sticking up for a liar. Publicly. Big, global story. Unimaginable public humiliation for Hillary. But did she leave him? Nope.

Why Hillary forgave him: In her 2003 memoir, she would attribute her decision to stay married to love: “No one understands me better and no one can make me laugh the way Bill does. Even after all these years, he is still the most interesting, energizing and fully alive person I have ever met.”
My opinion: If I was the president I would never have got caught – Monica who? I would make it so that she never existed… on but I think Hilary got to use Air force 1 and marine 1 and America’s (not Bill’s) Black American Express card on a weekend bender in Jamaica… Hilary got her groove back!

2. Kobe Bryant
What Kobe did: “Sexually assaulted” (more like “hooked-up with” if you ask me), 19 year-old Katelyn Faber, an employee of the Colorado hotel where he was staying. After accusing Bryant of sexual assault, Faber later refused to testify and all charges were dropped. Big national story, press conference confession of adultery by Kobe, lots of public humiliation for his wife Vanessa. Deep shit, right? Wrong!

Why Vanessa forgave him: Mrs. Bryant issued a statement saying her beloved husband “has made a mistake — the mistake of adultery… I know that he did not commit a crime, he did not assault anyone. He is a loving and kind husband and father. I believe in his innocence.” A very sweet and very supportive statement from a loving wife. Wearing the $4 million, eight carat, purple diamond ring she just received from her adulterous husband.

Kobe’s Secret: Knowing when a lady can be bought. And having the millions to do it.

My Opinion: If you mess up make sure you have enough money to buy your ass out of trouble. And that 4million ring is so much cheaper than the divorce settlement she was going to take from him – who says sports stars are stupid.

Update: Kobe got caught cheating with a 19year old LA lakers cheerleader – what’s he going to buy this time.

So men/women, yes women lie just as bad as men, on top of the verbal lies they tell they also tell physical lies the only difference is that they just control the deck of card in the game we play and unless you are willing to go to another dealer you better respect the house and play the honest game!

Well if you have read this far then thank you very much as I think I lost myself half way through that – I am getting a tad bit bored of reading my words so I will summarise and sign out.

It’s simple don’t lie or cheat you will get caught and you will suffer the consequences, think about the other persons feelings and think to yourself how would I feel if this was done to be – as you will breaking somebody’s trust and probably ruin there self esteem and respect for others, there is no excuse for cheating or lying – A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth. Remember the story about the boy that cried wolf.

If you do cheat/lie you better make sure you have that learjet fuelled and ready on the runway or have a presidential airtight alibi (but to be honest that didn’t work for Bill so I don’t think it will work for mere mortals), if not I suggest you write your will just before you jump out the window testing Newton’s theory of gravity as trust me that would be less painful than the person you lied to catch’s up with you.

The truth will set you free…
