Who remembers the song? I Know i do.... and as of late, ive practiced it to a T.

Sometimes honesty can be brutal, but why lie about something when the truth supposedly "sets you free"

Does anyone else practice this policy of truth?
if so, has it bitten you yet/


Is there such a thing as being TOO honest?

Please discuss

dun know the song sorry

depeche mode
i dont think any one practice much of anything any more

That's an AWESOME song!!
I don't claim to practice anything but music and keeping my ego on low heat.... I can't say I never lie, I can't say that I'm not brutally honest though either...
But it is an amazing tune. Depeche Mode has allot of great material...

yes, you can be too honest. But in a situation like this one, it is best to be brutally honest about yourself to avoid any unpleasantness later. Its best to get it out of the way.

You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth

Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before

Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth

Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before

thats the problem though most people see the problems multiplied and think lies cover up those problems and they are happy with that point of view (be it about there selfs or other things
i try to follow truth but i've even been happy with a pretty lie now and again

I have had to tone my brutal honesty down over the years after discovering that even when you tell someone that you are just being honest it does not soften the blow. I am still honest to a fault, just not as brutal with it as I used to be.

i like pretty lies now and again... like when people tell me they like me.... lol

i've been told iam too nice lol.oh well,i'll meet someone who appreciates it someday.

I try very hard to be honest, but I will tell a white lie to save someones feelings or something like that.

For example, If a fat girl ask me if her pants make her ass look big Im going to say no. I guess thats not really a lie, becasue honestly its not her pants making her ass look big, its her fat ass.

Ok, different example. Lets assume its really is the pants to some extent. I would tell her no.

i have been told i am too honest... maybe someone will appreciate that one day!!
