It seems to me that there is a disadvantage to being too honest. Some people mistake your honesty for hostility, for one thing. Other people have carefully crafted lies that they live with and they resent the intrusion of your logic. On the other hand, there are some people who act very sweet and nice but when you don't agree with them, they get testy. When you do try to discuss things on their merits, they call you names and imply that you are just being nasty. Do you think it is better to be honest or to sugar-coat things with lies?

I guess thats why I stay out of deep discussions...but thats just me...EVERYONE should be able to discuss their personal opinion.

It is always better to be honest,on the other hand if you come across people like you've described,there is only one solution............ignore them

Find myself thinking the same more and more. People just want to you agree with them or say what they think is needed. If thats the case no need to ask me anything, seems like they are having a good conversation all by themselves.

I like sugar coated cherries a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down I'm Irish we drink our whiskey straight...from the bottle usually. I find it rude if people sugarcoat things for me, I can take it, just give me the bottom line.

I very much want honesty and as soon as possible, so that I can make choices for my well-being and sanity, make level-headed choices. After having been with a compulsive liar in my life years ago, I am extremely inquisitive and will not tolerate lies. I'd rather hear an ugly truth than unearth a lie later. Better to know ASAP.

You are right, Fran. That is what I am seeing. And some people get overtly hostile if you don't agree. They should have a disclaimer for threads "Only those who agree may post"

This is exactly what I expected - only the sane ones are responding to this thread.

They should have a disclaimer for threads "Only those who agree may post" hmmm wonder where I have heard that, but it very appropriate in this setting. People want to post questions but already have the answer for you, WTF!!! lmao Feel free to agree to disagree with me Hiker and be as blunt as you want, I will not melt nor wither and die. The truth shall always prevail
