ZerimarObon Phanari ZerimarObon Using lies to tell the truth? There's a paradox for ya. Lies aren't necessarily bad, I'll agree, after all, since all fiction stories aren't true, wouldn't that make them a lie? They can say it's not true, which won't be a lie, but it's still a lie. Onto another topic.....My social studies teacher enjoys talking about current events, or some not so current I suppose. She really enjoys little comics that show what's happening in the world in a comical and sometimes insulting way (political cartoons I think they're called). She showed a couple today involving US presidents, past and present. One such thing connected George Bush with George Orwell(his book 1984 more specifically). Orwell Man teached everybody about double speak! It mentions a few actual terms he used, such as saying that the war in Iraq was instigated by "faulty intelligence" (lies if you want the truth), that the prisoners in Iraq were "abused" rather than tortured. There were a few other quotes, but I can't remember them. Out of curiousity, are you guys Democrat, or Republican in political beliefs (correct me on the terms if I'm wrong, remember, I'm Canadian) PARADOX! Not really. Most lies are told by using the truth, otherwise, they'd be pretty pathetic lies. In fact, it's more of a paradox to use a lie to tell the truth than use the truth to tell a lie. For more info, read Piers Anthony. Uhhh....I think one of us misunderstands. Either you think I said use truth to tell lies, or I misunderstood you. You say it's a paradox to use lies to tell the truth, that's what I said was the case. Shoot.......I read that wrong. I thought you said truth to tell lies.
