I don't lie. Lets get that out of the way right off the bat. I ain't saying that i haven't lied before i'm just saying that as a rule i don't generally lie. I kinda feel that lying to someone gives them power over you, i'm grown and do what i want. If you can't take the truth then be careful what you ask is my view on the whole lie thing. I may lie but thats only after you refuse to accept the truth. Arguments sometimes go faster that way. Not lying is a good thing because i lie good. I lie so good that i got stories that i bet surprised when i find out what i really did when somebody tell me. I make my lies so good that they are better than the truth. So much better than the truth in fact till the truth can't compete and just get lost, beat it, scram. Even years later i remember the lie a

We always knew that Republicans were jerks, but they often do such a good job of mugging for the cameras that it's hard to get that story out to the public. Oh, come on, people say, do they really hate brown people and the poor and the gays and the disabled? Yeah, they do. But from Newt Gingrich to Rudi Giuliani, they also tend to hate on their wives, those lumps in the bed next to them, which I guess is just the natural consequence of being misogynist creeps. It's also an easy point of character reference for the body politic, which is perhaps why the press has so delicately refrained from pointing out what terrible spouses so many of these wingnuts really are.
And being a jerk in public to your spouse, humiliating them, the person who will put up with more crap from you tha

Hillary Clinton is officially the worst politician of the last thirty years. This woman has piggybacked off her husband's accomplishments and as a result was the inevitable nominee.

You know, life is funny. I went from being a well conditioned fitness instructor to a fat 40 year old in what seems like the blink of an eye. I always joked that my metabolism went on strike at age 30 and just plain quit by 35. But it's more sad than funny and age has little to do with it. I know what I have to do to be in peak shape. Even worse, I often do it but get nowhere near the results I should. Let me rephrase that... I get nowhere near the results I used to promise my clients they would get if they would only "try harder and have more self control." What a schmuck! I am fully ashamed of myself.

Italy's highest appeal court has ruled that married Italian women who commit adultery are entitled to lie about it to protect their honour.The court gave its landmark ruling after hearing the case of a 48-year-old woman, convicted of giving false testimony to police by denying she had lent her mobile phone to her lover.The appeal court did not agree that she had broken the law. It said bending the truth was justified to conceal extra-marital relationships. In a predominantly Catholic country you might expect the courts to take a dim view of lying and adultery.But not in this case. The woman who brought the appeal was from Porto Ercole on the Tuscany coast, and named only as Carla. She had lent her telephone to her secret lover, Giovanni, who then used it to call Carla's estranged husband,

Yesterday the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates again, noting that inflationary pressures seem to be receding. Not so fast. How would we know whether or not there is monetary inflation, since the Fed ceased reporting the vital M3 statistic in March of 2006 (it's like.... they saw this coming). I've written about the importance of this move to stop reporting M3 in "Running on M3" and "A Peak Behind the Curtain." Common sense would suggest that repeated rate cuts, not to mention the arguably more significant Fed Open Market Committee subsidized bond auctions for tens of billions of dollars every few weeks, would lead to inflation. It also seems evident that, in light of our entitlement/Ponzi-scheme system and our economy's need for at least apparent growth, we will choose inflation

After years of writing sugarcoated articles about his travels, Chuck Thompson is rebelling against travel's airbrushed image with Smile When You're Lying: Confessions of a Rogue Travel Writer. His confessions include brutally honest opinions of the travel industry, tourists, and expats, all wrapped up in a reality that you won't find in glossy travel magazines.Thompson's reality includes graphic stories of Thailand, living in "disneyfied" Alaska, getting pulled over in Mexico and dealing with magazine consultants. Recounting his experience teaching ESL in Japan, he shows a side of the Japanese that I'm pretty sure you won't find elsewhere. His anecdotes had me alternating between disbelief and laughter. The book also has practical advice for the traveler. After criticizing the common travel tips that show up in magazines and newspapers, he lists 15 of his own suggestions to make travel easier.Thought provoking political commentary is interspersed throughout the book, and

"The student should be coached on a gradient until he/she can lie facily." — L. Ron Hubbard, "TR-L" Scientology. I believe it would be instrumental for the General Medical Council and the media to have a lesson in the subject of personality disorder. Some people have an insight into their personality disorders and other's simply don't. It is not meant as an insulting remark or condition but as a problem suffered by some people. The General Medical Council have no recognition for it and are not astute to manipulation and convincing statements made by those with any form of personality disorder. Infact, it is established that the GMC have no understanding of mental health issues at all. The media have no understanding of this disorder either. NHS Exposed is due to present a paper on personality disorders in child abusers online soon. A very interesting paper that describes the dysfunctional behaviour of many child abusers in general. Today though, as a preliminary to that, I thought

HOLLYWOOD — In a town made famous for the lies it tells to both itself and the world, this reporter found something quite expected: a class about lying well. The surprise wasn’t finding a class which aimed to teach students how to lie, but the way it taught to do it.
Joanna Saltin had nurtured quite an interest in “radical honesty”—the ethic of never telling a lie no matter how minor or face-saving—before she broke away from her mentor, moved to Hollywood, and decided to teach Californians the secret to lying well.
Ms. Saltin makes a quick and careful distinction between what she called “lying well” and “lying successfully.” As you may expect, lying successfully is when you convince people to believe an untrue story.
Lying well is very different, as she explains: “To lie well, you

Sometimes I go for a run and my feet are dragging, I'm bored and all I want to do is go home. Those are the days when senior citizens pass me by, as do toddlers on their tricycles. A little voice inside of me keeps whispering: 'Why don't you go home! Then you can eat that big mars bar. You know you want to!'But I know that little voice and I know it's not too bright. So I say reassuringly: 'I'll just run to that tree over there, and then we'll go home.' And once I've reached that tree I say: 'So, now I'll just run to that lovely tree over there, and then we'll call it quits.'This way I lie and cheat my way fifteen minutes from home and then I whisper: 'Well, it'll take fifteen minutes to get home. We might as well run.' And since the stupid voice wants nothing more than to lie down on the

There is something funny going on at Epics headquarters, Mark Rein (who I have always trusted) has come out and said that they haven’t even started working on the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament.
That will happen early next year and the reason for the delay is the fact that the 360 is a closed system which is causing problems for the mods… not sure why but I guess that is why I don’t work for Epic
Anyway that is all good and well BUT I did report the other day about how great the game looked on the 360. That story was based on a reputable website in Australia (yes they exist) called Gameplayer which had a 6, yes 6, page review on how well the game plays on the Xbox 360.
Apparently they were invited to an event at Epic’s North Carolina offices where they were given the chance to play UTIII on the 360….
So why would they lie about it, or why would Mark Rein lie about it?

Lying about the 44 blocks
When Tom Burnett Sr. came out against the Flight 93 Memorial, the press asked architect Paul Murdoch if there were really going to be 44 inscribed translucent blocks emplaced along the flight path (equaling the number of passengers, crew, AND terrorists). Murdoch acknowledged 43 of the blocks, but denied knowing about a 44th:
[T]here are 40 inscribed marble panels listing the names of the passengers and crew at the gateway to the Sacred Ground, where their remains still rest.
There is then an opening in the wall, Mr. Murdoch said, and three additional panels, which would include the date, Sept. 11, 2001.
“Where the other one is being fabricated, I don’t know,” he said.
Yes he does. Paul Murdoch is fully aware of the large dedicatory glass block at the end of the Entry Portal Walkway:

For example, Giuliani acknowledged that even though he had received information on threats between 1998 and 2001, "At the time I had no idea it was al Qaeda."

How many times has your business suffered because you trusted the wrong person? If you’re like most people, you’ve been lied to thousands of times.
Deception hurts in many ways. There’s the emotional stress from being betrayed, the loss of self-confidence and the increased suspicion or even paranoia. Not to mention the financial cost.
A deceptive supplier may promise that a shipment will arrive by your deadline, all the while knowing that delivery by the promised date is impossible. Trusting this supplier could cost your company thousands of dollars or more. Deceptions like this can be deadly to a growing business.But you don’t have to be a victim. Here are seven subtle cues that often mean a person isn’t being completely honest with you.

Despite 23 quarters (all under Bush) of uninterrupted economic growth that has seen market fundamentals (GDP, inflation and unemployment) far stronger than during the Clinton years the MSM has continued to tell us just how bad the economy is.

This is yet another example of how these people cannot accept it’s not the 1970's anymore.Below is a chart correlating stock prices with oil prices:One cannot look at this chart and come to the conclusion that rising oil prices indicate that the economy is week.The opposite seems to be the case as rising oil prices have meant a bullish economy. Global stock markets have been rising amidst rising oil prices. What this means is the rising oil prices reflect a global economic boom and not hard times. Essentially, the global economy is growing at a rate that outstrips oil production. All of this doom and gloom talk is nonsense.Because liberals ca

With regards to the diet, sorry but its a slow and mind blowing process where you eat tasteless foods half the time and try to resist the tasteful ones. With regards to the exercises, there aren't many you have to do. Just five or six will do. 20 reps each, 3 sets per exercise and your well on your way. But one way in which the muscle will be developed more quickly and so will surrounding muscles of the abdominals is by training whilst lying on a heavy punch bag. Nearly every gym in the world has them so finding one shouldn't be a problem. The idea is, when you perform your exercises lying on the bag, because its round, you will have to balance yourself to quite an extent so as it does not slide away from under you. By training this way you will notice that it will be muc

The family and lawyer say that Waymond Anderson is full of shit that they did not conspire to do anything.
...and it’s in the form of pastry goodness. Seriously, somebody needs to do an intervention or something, because I am stress bunny armed with a whisk and a silpat, and I CAN’T STOP...baking.
This time, it was a red wine caramel apple tartan with thyme from sexy man Tyler Florence’s book, Real Kitchen. How fun is this—basically an upside down apple tart tatin Now I will admit, I have been cooking a lot from Tyler Florence. But I’m am livening Australia with pretty much three cookbooks, two of which are Tyler’s. Plus, he rocks.

When I pretend, everything is what I want it be,
I looked exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can’t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can, but
I can’t pretend that this is they way it will stay, I’m just
(lying to defend the truth)
I can’t pretend of who you want me to be so
(I’m lying my way from)

Somehow I just know you're not going to believe this. A lot of you will say, "Jesus H Christ, Janssen's spinning another tale," and others will say, "you can't believe a word the s.o.b. says," but I swear on my kids life that this is true!I was just reading about Jehovah's Witnesses.You might remember I told you that my sister-in-law is a Witness and they sometimes drive around during the day and try to decide which nice house they will live in once the rapture comes and all the non-faithful are whisked away to God knows where.Well, something much, much stranger than that has come to my attention.Now I gotta tell ya again that I'm not making this up, O.K.?Let's say there is a 30 year old guy and he has a six year old daughter or son. With me so far?Now, the kid gets leukemia or some such thing and a simple blood transfusion would save their life. (Blood transfusions have got to be the simplest medical procedure there is!)Does he grab the kid and rush him/her to the hospital so th
An old man is lying on his deathbed with his children, grandchildren, and older great-grandchildren all around, teary-eyed at the approaching finale of a very long and productive life. The old man in is a terminal coma, and the doctors have confirmed that the waiting will be over within the next twenty-four hours. Suddenly, the old man opens his eyes and croaks: "I must be dreaming of heaven! I smell your grandmother's strudel!""No, grandfather, you are not dreaming. Grandmother is baking strudel now.""I know I will never have another taste of her delicious strudel after this one. Could you please go down and get me a piece?", the old man begs with what is left of his final breath.One of the grandchildren is immediately dispatched to honor the old man's last request. After a long time, he returns empty-handed."Did you bring me one last piece of your grandmother's delicious strudel?" the old man plaintively queries."I'm very sorry, grandfather, but she says it's for the funeral."

Need Prayer for Deliverance From Lying Son - Need Prayer to Be Rid of Son’s Lying - Please pray for me. I have a 20-1/2 year old son. I have been a single parent all of his life. I am so tired of him living in my home due to the fact that he is a rotten and deceitful liar. He lies about everything and has no remorse or conscious about doing so. This is causing too much stress for me that I cannot tolerate it any longer. It is not a very good situation to be living with a person who you cannot trust or depend on. HE WILL NOT TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING. HE IS ALSO SNEAKY AND VERY DECEPTIVE. Thank you for praying.

BBC Newsnight presents a special report by George Monbiot. The Royal Society wrote a cease and desist letter to Exxon Mobil asking them to stop funding organisations that misrepresent the scientific consensus on climate change. This is in response to the CEI adverts on "glaciers" with the tag line: CO2 - They call it pollution, we call it life.
