Question: Do you think it's possible to avoid telling the truth by not lying!? !?
And I don't mean "lying by omission"Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If you emphasize some of the facts of the matter, true facts!.
In other words, don't lie, but dont give away the truth, tell the person what he wants to hear, what you know will make him believe you!.
Ex!. "Did you have breakfast!?"
"Yes"
You know that the person was asking you if you had breakfast today!.
But you disregard that aspect and say yes, because it is the truth, you've had breakfast thousands of times!
It's all about technicality!.
It works, but it takes time to out smart a more direct question!.
I think lying by omission is your only shot, unless you avoid the question entirely!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's by far the most effective way to lie!. Telling somebody the absolute truth in a way that makes them believe it's not true works better than any other method I know!. Half-truths and 95% truths to get somebody to swallow the false portion work too, but not so well!. Everyone has run into a case of being disbelieved while telling the truth, and arranging for it is not all that hard--however it can easily backfire, and like all lies, getting tangled up and trying to keep track of them all is harder than just taking your medicine in the first place!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are a few ways I know!.

1!. Answer in the form of a question!.
or
2!. Give indirect answers that don't lead to the truth but are not lies (hard to explain this one)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

that is called being diplomatic, which is not really possible all the time!. We lie all the time and pretend, and kee lying, but we cannot avoid it!.!.!.!.!.we cannot keep away from the truth!.!.!.good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com
