But I wanted the poll to create serious discussion. The poll is merely the conversation piece.

I don't see how lying is an interpretation of compassion.

Isn't one of the basic tenents of true friendship, the ability to be completely honest with one another? Can you really be in love, or find 'perfect' love, without being honest with yourself, and with those around you?

I supposed I just have a fixation on honesty, or maybe an aversion to lying.

And of course, I'm sure Illumina, that you probably wern't making a reference to rampant untruthfullness all of the time. ;)
