Let's see if this works. So far I don't remember any time in wich I lied to proove my point, or lied just for the sake of lying and didn't confess it later. But let's hear about you...come on, confess.
Have you ever lied to prove your points?

Re: Have you ever lied to proove your points?
If the conservatives are right, I haven't proven any points, so, the question is moot.

No. But then again, I could be lying.

What I'm saying right now is a lie.
Re: Have you ever lied to proove your points?
It is a lie. You're not saying it, you're typing it.
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

Re: Have you ever lied to proove your points?
An old one, but it has been proven not to be a true paradox because of modern semantics and philosophy of language. I cant be bothered to show how it is not a paradox though.

Lying to prove your point is the best way to win an argument against an idiot.

Re: Have you ever lied to prove your points?
Here: no, but I've been proved incorrect on several occasions.
In general: of course. Especially when the person you're facing refuses key facets of the way the world works.
An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

I havn't Lied to prove my point...Dan Brown has but thats a different story.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...

Re: Have you ever lied to prove your points?
I can't remember lying deliberately to prove a point, but I have used supporting arguments that were poorly researched and unfounded, and which later turned out to be false. I've passed on hearsay without knowing or checking the source of it. These days I try to be much more careful, now that I know how many fallacies are circulating out there.
Even the best of us can be fooled, but it's irresponsible to pass on questionable "facts," especially when the means to check them are readily available. I've been guilty of this error.
If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward. -Jack Handey
