LYING

Do we expect people to lie to us? What would our world be like if no one lied?

YES! I know for a fact that people lie to me and have lied to me and honestly i am perfectly okay with someone telling me a little white lie. Sometimes hearing a lie is better that hearing the truth. Let's just say i ask my friend if my hair or makeup or even if my outfit looks okay, and even if it is not perfect, sometimes hearing that I look fine is just what I need. And vise versa, if my friend asks me if they look okay, and even if they do not look perfect I still tell them that they look awesome because it will put them in a great mood and help build up their confidence.

A world without lying would be a very corrupt world. Many people would hate each other and there would probably be no functional relationships anywhere! Lying is a necessary part of everyday life. I am not trying to say that lying is a good thing, just sometimes a necessary thing.

As off January 21, 2010, due to a five to four vote, corporations now have the right to use their general treasuries to fund television and other media ads in supporting or attacking a candidate running for an office and can run such ads during crucial days leading up to election. It was also riled that free speech is exactly the sme for corporations as it is for you and me as humans. I do not agree with this. Corporations are not human, they should not be given the same rights as us. If corporations can have the same rights as humans, then humans should be granted the same rights as corporations such as corporate treasury funds, special tax provisions and larger tax write offs. Corporations are man-made entities, not people, so they should not be given the same rights as humans. It is also bad for democracy because it will lead to billions of dollars of additional and very unnecessary campaign spending when the corporations could be using the money in a much more useful way. It will also lead to candidates running for office spending more time fund raising and less time with the people. It was a bad decision that will not benefit we the people.
