I hate lying but, the whole world lies to us and everyone daily here's how.
Car sales men -the most obvious
Resume's -very common
News - well at least the OP page and politics
At patry's - to gain power and status
Marketing - they'll say anything to get you to try thier product
Income Tax - it amazes me how many get by with it
Dating - the one place people shouldn't lie but do
Coupons -in the paper are a rip
Employment agencies -who will tell you anything
I never could figure out the gray line between regular BS and lying. Mabey some of you could tell me what the difference is cause the way I see it, its almost the same.

BS cares nothing for the truth, lies or lying does care about the truth; BS is creating something that has nothing to do with the factuality of a subject or issue, lying has a subject or issue that you deny the truth for in fabricating a lie. Misinformation of disinformation is similar although it is more truth of what the cover lie represents for press or adversary. Untruthfullness is a lie, but not so in the case of BS, BS is to inflate one's ego about which one has no experience to back up. half-truths and leaving out all facts is lying by omission, they are not even part truths, they are bold-faced lies. I never could lie convincingly as I would always return to upheave the lie and supplant it with the truth, if you cannot be true to yourself, where you are mostly yourself then you can become lost. But creating BS stories - fictions is not the same, if they never had part in fact or truth. However, I actually am self-defeatist in the lengths I will go to tell the truth, admitting shortfalls to my own peril, they may as well be lies in the looks I get, what insanity is this... - is how I feel after dispelling falshoods.
