My former step-mother was able to lie about being divorced from her first husband long enough that she was able to keep her bigamy a secret for nearly 25 years.

No wonder Romney seemed tired all of the time. He must have stayed awake all night many times during the campaign to tell as many conflicting stories as he did.

So that's why obama and crew are keeping quiet about Benghazi! They are still practicing. That's scary, they're already really good at it.

The obvious, and most recent, example of this would be Mitt Romney and/or Paul Ryan. But in reality, they are just victims of a deep seeded desire to dominate fellow human beings, and lying is just a tool for them. Therefor they see no moral objection because for them the end justifies the means. The same way that their bullying masks their fear, lying hides the truth.

Many large high tech companies actually teach their customer support representatives ho to 'lie with authority' in order to control irate customers. This is nothing new, as politicians, lawyers, judges, police officers, military personnel and certainly every Muslim in the world rely on lies to maintain their positions.

Our society rewards liars, to the point women think its normal, and businesses promote those who are the worst offenders. Its sad that lies have become so normal in our society. Its no wonder our country is failing, its full of fake selfish, manipulative people, who get rewarded for their douchbaggery.

Mark Twain wrote an essay about perfecting lying skills and argued that this was an important skill that we all need. He was right; he was talking about the lies we tell to protect the feelings of others.

If you've seen the movie "Liar, liar" you know how bad and comical compulsive truth-telling can be.

Lies that are made for selfish interest at the expense of others are a different story.

Geez, all this time I thought it was called "Acting"

A Polygraph is a joke.

Remain calm, stare at one spot in the room, and lie.

While its possible to convincingly tell a lie (Lance Armstrong is a good example), the fact remains that a lie can still be recognized because somewhere it introduces a contradiction that cannot be resolved. My ex-wife was a decent liar, but it was easy for me to catch her in them.

So how come Faux News still sucks at it?

There are some people I swear are born liars.Who will lie about the littlest things, even when nothing is gained from the lie. On the other hand, studies show that most people state honesty is highly rated as as desirable trait but practically nobody practices it.So why do we get so disappointed so often when we know people aren't practicing it, even ourselves?It seems wishful thinking, yet we still must expect honesty and integrity.It is the basis of our society and laws.As corrupt and immoral as we are becoming.

Various studies have found people lie two-three times within ten minutes or as little as just once a day. But practically everyone is deceptive in their conversations. How silly of us humans. We want it honesty from others but really so often don't want to hear the truth on the other hand in certain situations. Sometimes about ourselves because it would be painful. Like the question wives ask their husbands,"Does this dress make me look fat?" Pity the husband who answers yes!

Susan Rice and Obama are perfect examples of this.
