Varying degrees of handling the truth:
If my Mother asks if she is dying I am certainly not going to say yes you are, even though both she and I know she is.
Whereas when my boys were small and they told lies to avoid trouble then it would be a lie.
When I worked if my boss bent the truth I would just walk away, but never forget because you cannot trust a liar.
In Politics, on either side, I expect NOTHING but misrepresenting the truth or outright lies. Have you ever heard anyone ask a politician a question and watched how many different ways they can spin the answer?
On a chat line board .... well, it does not take long to see through people who continually mishandle the truth and those who manage to seek truth.
And finally, EVERY time I have tried to lie my way out of something I have been caught in that lie!
So my conclusion is you are better off telling the truth.
