Truth

[polysisterchick]

We had a discussion on truth in class today.

Truth:
Do you think it is ok to tell a lie?
What if you lied to save millions of people, is it ok then?
What defines what is right and wrong?
Where does one draw the line on what is right and what is wrong?



Discuss if you wish.

Do you think it is ok to tell a lie? It is ok under two circumstances: you are having a suprise party for someone or it is a life or death situation.
What if you lied to save millions of people, is it ok then? As I said, a life or death situation.
What defines what is right and wrong? It depends on your own beliefs. It depends on what you think it is. Different things are right or wrong in different peoples opinions.
Where does one draw the line on what is right and what is wrong? Once again, it's up to that person.

Do you think it is ok to tell a lie? Just depends
What if you lied to save millions of people, is it ok then? Yes
What defines what is right and wrong? Nothing, we as human being have our definitions but..umm you don't want me to get into it again
Where does one draw the line on what is right and what is wrong? When it hurts others, to me it's wrong.

Do you think it is ok to tell a lie?

You can not use such a blanket statement as "right" or "wrong". It all depends on the situation.

What if you lied to save millions of people, is it ok then?

I've lied to save one. Is that wrong?

What defines what is right and wrong?

Depends, do you have conscience, because some don't.

Where does one draw the line on what is right and what is wrong?

you can't.

Do you think it is ok to tell a lie? depends on situation if your trying to protect someone then yes if not no. .it all just depends on situation

What if you lied to save millions of people, is it ok then? yes i think it is

What defines what is right and wrong? sometimes i like to say myself. .for me my coniscence basically tells me whats right and whats wrong

Where does one draw the line on what is right and what is wrong? it all depends on you and whether you know when to stop or when to keep doing what your doing kind of hard to explain

 

[Mickey1122]

It depends. Little white lies are near-essential IMO.

 

[2HOT2touch]

sometimes, depends on the situation.

yes, I would say it is okay to lie if it saves alot of lives as long as it doesn't hurt even more.

you can't define what is right and wrong. normally it is based on morals, but everyone has different morals.

as I said before there are different rights and wrongs, but normally what would draw the line is probably the law, because you have to obey the law.
