I'd say false!

Lying is a wrong thing but it is done often to keep fron hurting some ones feelings.

I have to go with true.

But that will probably lead to a philoshopical discussion of what constitutes right and wrong.

I disagree with Assets though, I don't think you should lie to people to keep from hurting their feelings. They will be hurt even worse if they discover you were lying! It's better to be honest with them if you're a true friend.

Actually the most recent lie I told was to a sweet, little, shriveled old lady who was being convinced by her family on mother's day to join the group photo for a free portrait offered by the hotel/restaurant where I work. After resisting as long as she could, she turned to me and asked if she looked good enough to be in the portrait. My response was "You look absolutely beautiful."

Accepting the premise that it is a WRONG thing, then the act of "doing" HAS To be "wrong".....unless it isn't confused

I agree, it is all relative. Nothing against old people as I am approaching old myself.

Well I have to agree with Native...She's absolutely correct. Depending on your own concept of right and wrong would depend on whether it would be true or false, so it's both True and False tongue grin kiss

grin There is no right way to do a wrong thing is TRUE.

My reasoning is that whatever action you will be doing will be wrong, correct?

So whatever the end result the result will be a wrong one.

Now if you are talking of the gravity or seriousness of the action 'wrong', you can argue that there are various degrees of doing a wrong action.

For example, if I have a disagreement with a friend that is serious enough I may:

1. stop from being his/her friend
2. conspire against him/her behind his/her back
3. stab him/her brutally to death

Of course the three actions are all wrong but you may note that different gradations of the end effect. The first being the mildest to the third the fatal end result.

The only right way to do a wrong thing is in itself what may be termed a paradoxical sentence like "I am lying." but with the main difference that we have semantic differences in its construction.

Ok, that's my philosophical side of me that's writing right now. I won't be annoyed if you're sleeping on the keyboard. Best idea would be to use this post if you can't get to sleep.


And that is a right way to do the wrong thing
