Re: Little white lies

I think you should descend from the cloud you are on in cuckoo land Margaret!!

You don't know me from Adam. I DESPISE lies by anybody but I am not naive and blinkered to know that sometimes these 'little white lies' are beneficial in some circumstances.
Like emamum stated above people say things (little white lies) to make others feel better - do you honestly think that person will be suffering from pangs of guilt for the rest of the day? NO.
If everyone told her she looked like she'd been dragged through a hedge backwards (sorry Ema for using you as an example) - whilst maybe true then that would certainly have hurt her feelings.

The fact you say you don't tell little white lies is in itself a little white lie.

EVERYBODY DOES!!!!
