Do you consider omission the same as lying?!


Question: generally speaking, no

lying is distorting the fact, omitting is just simply choosing what to disclose. wait, thats confusing..

i mean, if you omit something without trying to unbalance the truth then its ok, but if you do that to make things appear you want them to be with the expense of the truth, then its lying

yes

NOPE!!!!! Neither is stretching the truth!!

no

Yes, as Captain Picard said to Wesley, "An omission of a lie is still a lie."

Hmmm......not...really? **feeling guilty**

It's never true, people just always used that as an excuse.....

No ! Silence is golden, trust me, I know !!

Sometimes, depending on the situation.

Yeah I do. If you leave it out there's a reason.

It's not a lie, but it's deceitful

NO, just like if nobody saw you do it, nothing wrong!!

no, i don't.

very much so. as said before, there is a reason you are leaving something out

It depends on what you're omitting.

If you've accidentally on purpose neglected to mention the negative balance on your shared account, then it could possibly be construed as lying by omission.

If, on the other hand, you decided not to mention how hideous your partners new outfit looked on them, then you could be considered diplomatic. Which could take us into a whole new realm of discussion ...

Y-E-S !!!!

it's called lying by omission. wow, i would Never do such a thing. lol...

No. You are not required to tell everyone everything. If you did, people would think you were a huge bore and stop listening anyway.

In some way yes.
Sometimes omission is like lying to yourself.

nope..

I thought the omission was next to the transmission.

No. If you don't talk you are not lying.
