No wonder we lie..

[Whos Carl]

Why do parents shout at children for lieing. The parents have been the ones that have nutured an environment based on lies. Such as Santa Claus quite a big lie, a big fat guy that lives at the north pole and has a reindeer with a radioactive nose. The easter bunny ummm another lie made up by parent or at least used by parents. The tooth fairy helllllllllllllo a little fairy comes into your room at night and gives you money for your teeth....

Wow, so true!

I guess that's mainly all they lie about, i can't think of anything else that most parents would lie about!

[Az.]

if you were adopted.....maybe?

[420purplehaze420]

wohhhh man the easter bunny is real i saw him with my own 2 eyes but it was really bright out...and i had an infection in one eye and it was really bad from picking at it....and that was the hour my glasses were at lens crafters.

lol sorry for family guy quotage but im really baked from this bong i made out of glassware from the science office at my school mmm pyrex glass :smokin:

but yeah man humans are obsessed with lying......its just to easy.... i try not to lie unless its really important or somthin

[ShamanicHippy]

yeah and mine told me that marijuana was bad. damn lies all of it

[beachguy in thongs]

Well, it'd be kind of cheating the kids if their parents didn't lie about Santa Claus. Every other kid would have someone to look forward to at Christmastime and by the time you figure he's not real, you don't care anymore.

I'm planning on telling my kids the netherland story of santa personally. although scientific america mind ( a couple issues back) had a story on why people lie. Interesting enough, those of us with depression aren't as good at lying as those without.

[beachguy in thongs]

Your parents don't really lie, they just use Santa Claus as a metaphor for "you're getting hooked up phat, tomorrow, kid."

[NightProwler]

yea, and i hate when they ask me why i lied about something. its obvious. why the fuck would i want to get in trouble??

[beachguy in thongs]

Ya know, Night Prowler, If you just told them because you don't want Santa to find out, they might understand.

[king kong bong]

"the easter bunny kicked his ass!!"

Lol, that's so true :D

exactly! it's all metaphors! santa clause, easter bunny, and the tooth fairy all do exist. we don't lie because our parents have done it to us. lying is nature. maybe if trouble didn't exist, lying wouldn't be a part of our protection mechanisms, but since there are consequences for our actions we feel we must protect ourselves from the possibility of being hurt. with that logic in mind, lying doesn't seem bad at all. i'd much rather lie than to be hurt.

[BabyFacedAbortion]

I'm a pathological liar; it's in my blood, hence why I lie. MWAHA.

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

i lie only to avoid the judgement of others... which could be called cowardly, but i dont care, i dont see why i have to be attacked by anyone else just for liking something that they hate.


i dont otherwise lie.


BTW, Baby faced, you're hot :P

[deepinhale]

I dont have any kids yet, but when I do, I'll let them believe in Santa Claus, just not in any kind of God.

[ADaisyChain]

i'm a pathological liar as well... okay i'm lying, I'm not.

[jahjahjahjah]

i dont believe in religion its not that i dont have respect for someone who does, im a parent and i will not send my 2 year old to sunday school

[flamingskullballs]
