Have you ever lied to prove 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.

I seldom lie, but I'm rather fond of slightly altering the truth sometimes. Luckily I've managed to keep away from being caught in a net of such alterings.

If you need to lie to prove your point, aren't you proving the other guy's point?

Not exactly. Lack of proof doesn't refute your own statement nor confirms the statement on the other side, the other side should produce its own proof to demonstrate something. However that's not my question.

I could understand why no one wants to confess their lies in the same backroom, that way jeopardizing his/her own future on his/her own arguements... but if anyone has a burning feeling inside and wants to express something badly this is the time.

I see that two people have confessed...mmmm...I'll add them to my special list...

EDIT: Divinus... I don't get it. Please do explain.

Liar liar pants on fire.

Not that I can remember, though I may ignore a few if I really need to prove a point for one reason or another, and hope the other person doesn't bring them up. If they do then I'll make sure to adjust my stance accordingly.

Just remember, it's not a lie if you believe it.

Yes, and you'd probably just lie anyway.
