To me it is very imortant ,but how do the rest of you feel?

very importatant , can't see the point of lying, i find hypoccisy even worse xx

Very important I would rather have a thief than a liar. Ay least you know where you stand with a thief. Can't understand why anyone tells lies. OK I know the PC brigade with say we lie to children about Santa but that is totally different.

i've come across a few liars in my time and always feel so let down by them.
honesty is the best policy

If asked a direct question like "is this dress to tight" I would say yes, bu if it was phrased " do you like my new dress" and the person wearin it obviously loves it I would find something to like, what a lovely colour.etc. I'm not lying but not hurting feelings either.

sometimes the mouth is best kept shut......

It would be surprising if anyone said honesty wasn't important to them, wouldn't it?

I think it's one of the most important things in life but I agree with Blue Eyes that there are circumstances where it needs tempering.

Its nice to see some honest people.I agree pat.I do understand what you say though Blue eyes .

Uggers I agree it is important to most people to recieve honesty but do they return it.

tory, you don't know any of us are honest, you just know we say we are:)

Very true uggers :))

will look back later as have to pop out will be intrested to see any other thoughts.

To be a good liar you need to have a very good memory,this is why I am not a good liar,I also am not a thief,I can't stand dishonest people.

Honesty is very important to me, as is not hurting people's feelings unecessarily. Like Blue, I would be very careful if someone asked me what I thought of, say a new dress. I may hate the pattern, but it may be to their taste - it's a matter of personal preference. At times like these I employ the wonderful phrases
'Like nothing on earth' and 'Out of this world'.
Different meanings - horrible and lovely - but essentially, taken just as words they have the same meaning - 'Not of this planet'!!!

My children know that if I describe something they have bought as 'Out of this world' I may not like it!!

Maddy................same here:)

I'm also hopeless at keeping secrets as I chat away and let slip things that I shouldn't:(

I have got better at thinking before I speak, but it's hard for me not to wear my heart on my sleeve.

The worst kind of dishonesty is being two-faced..................those type of people are the ones I avoid like the plague.

I can see what Blue eyes means and NO I would not like to hurt anyones feelings. It's difficult. Does anyone know what the difference is between a fib and a lie or even white lie or are they all just lies?

You can lock up from a thief, you cant from a liar.

also i am with Maddy and blue eyes.

I can't be doing with lyers and why should ..I .and I am with Puss with the Hypocrisy bit as well....oh what a wicked webb we weave when at first you start to deceive....as the bit the dress being too tight I would rather be told the truth than waste my money...a few weeks a go my sister was buying a top and I told her it was very nice but the style was wrong for her big belly....she insisted on trying it on and then agreed with me.....pays to be truthful I learnt that at a very early age by retuning someones purse with all her christmas shopping money in it..

Kitty same here i rabbit on and on as i dont do lying things just gets said as it is like you i do stop to think more i would hate to hurt any bodys feelings

honesty is very important-but like uggers said, you have never met any of us so it's ok to say we are, but you never know do you.?

Personally honesty to me is very important-can't be doing with liars and manipulative people-there's a few on here for deffo-they would make pinnoccio look like safe.

As far as dress sense and things like that go........it's called TACT, but am with you on the honesty, as someone else quoted you know where you are with a thief. Good morning to you all.
