Response to blog on lieing

Saturday, 3rd April, 2010

http://niallsbrain.blogspot.com/. I found the quote from Massachusetts University about the fact that when people's self-esteem is threatened, they will immediately begin to lie quite interesting. It merely demonstrates how lieing can be an instinctive self-preservation tactic.

I also heard as very funny quote once on the film 'A Fish Called Wanda' which said that the people who you need to be wary of are the honest ones, because they could suddenly decide, at any moment, to tell a lie, making them the most unpredictable and, therefore, dangerous. You always know that the dishonest people are going to lie, and so you know where you stand with them from the beginning!
