• Most of us are going with quantity of the posts. We don’t seem too serious about the quality. We just want to publish more and more articles in a short period.

• We are turning egocentric in Triond and we are trying to increase the number of views by any means. For that , we are keeping the title as attractive as possible even it is not completely related to the theme of the post.

• We are not reading others articles seriously and just commenting as we read it. We are pretending in a number of matters. We are being liars indirectly and only commenting others as they comment on your post.

• Many of the Triond writers change their name as girls  and we are disguising among others, so that they can attract other writers easily. For this , they have taken help of glamorous pictures and so on.

• The plagiarism is skyrocketing. Copying, pasting and just manipulation of articles have been the main cause to disturb Triond premise.

Lying to Children

A lot of parents lie to their children who are rather naive.  They tell them that Santa Claus is real.  Threaten that they are not going to have toys if they do not believe.  Some children become afraid and whether they believe or not decide to accept what their parents have to say for fear that they will be unloved.

The same thing is true when children are told about the tooth fairy.  They are encouraged to put their tooth under a pillow before they go to bed at night and during the night, a fairy will come.  The tooth fairy generally brings them money while a parent replaces the tooth.

Many parents think nothing about lying and will go to any length to trick their kids by telling them these fibs.  They are other instances through which parents may try to protect and defend their children.  Parents may lie to their kids concerning how they can handle situations like problems on the school playground and dealing with the class bully’s  challenge that is scaring them out of their mind.

Saving a Friend from Embarrassment

Hypothetically speaking, some people might have done things for which they are not proud.  A person might have served time in jail.  It could have been in Memphis and moved to another city.  The only thing wrong with this is, that Iowa City to which he moved to put down roots, he has encountered a friend who is familiar with his case.

This friend will do anything to protect Tom and even lie to do so.  He may not volunteer information that Alberto was incarcerated for the manslaughter of his wife.  They are friends with a secret to hide.  Nevertheless, a similar incident occurs in Iowa City and Tom is forced to blow his friend’s cover.  Now, the whole community is up in arms and wonder how they were unable to see through Alberto’s dark secret.  The new manslaughter charge of an innocent woman was quite a blow to the community.

Building Oneself Up

There are those that like to brag.  They boast about all the things that they have done.  The only thing is that those things were false.  These individuals are insecure and they feel they have to do this to make themselves feel better.  By so doing, they hope that somehow they will look good in the eyes of those that listen to their lies.

When such persons are found out through their untruths, they feel humiliated, and may confess that their behavior was inappropriate.  They never intended to do what they did.  From then on, many of these persons become untrustworthy.

Lying in Court

Lying at a trial in court is considered perjury.  Such a person is seen as trying to obstruct justice.  It is a serious offense and offenders may be sentenced to serve time in jail.  Persons under oath always have the responsibility when testifying to tell the truth.  Although this is expected, still some persons on trial fudge the truth.

Consciously and unconsciously, we all lie.  Some of us do so by omission to protect ourselves, while others are more deliberate with their lying.  Such deception can have little or major consequences.  Lying can be very destructive for it could cause some persons their lives or a long prison sentence.

There  is a lot of fuss being made about Fox news being banned from Canada. some people feel that by banning a news media for lying, free speech is being censored. Also shocking is the statement that Fox news was banned for lying. Are we to assume that in light of the fuss being made about this ban for lying.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren’t journalists supposedly governed by ethics and laws or are they allowed to tell lies under the guise of “freedom of speech” If not then I can’t understand comments I read online that suggest that banning a media outlet for lying is an affront on freedom of speech. Journalists are governed by certain ethical standards which would include telling the truth.

According to the Canadian Radio act, a licenser cannot broadcast misleading or false news. This law has meant that the right wing Fox News that regularly pushes the button as far as the facts in news reporting is concerned, cannot operate in Canada. Where civility in broadcasting has all but disappeared in the US media, Canada is determined to keep its political discourse civil.

So why do US citizens condone false and divisive news reporting that Fox news has become associated with? It could be because journalistic ethics are not as valued there as they are in Canada. It could also mean that since Fox news is a puppet of the monied class, the masses have little say in the degradation of the written or unwritten code of conduct of journalism.

But there is hope. Americans have started the Occupy Wall Street Movement which has spread all over the world. Despite a few setbacks there is  no doubt that they will rise from the ashes again. If anyone can, the Americans can call attention to a divisive news media and eventually bring an end to its existence. It will be difficult though since money talks.

Lying

• Avoiding eye contact


• Stiffening; not moving as much


• Tendency to use  words instead of contractions (The truth most likely would be won’t contrary to will not.)


• Tends to repeat things to assure your approval.


• Would be more defensive rather than offensive.


• Expressions normally include only the mouth.


• Exaggerates their answer; They answer in full sentences using your words.


• Take note of their voice. If their voice is more relaxed than normal (not relaxed as in stress less, but relaxed as in plain) they’re most likely lying.


• They use sarcasm often.


• They appear to relax a little more when the subject is changed.


• When they stare you directly in the eye, although they may appear comfortable, they randomly and quickly look elsewhere, than back at you.


• Fold their arms.


• Appear more comfortable when they look away from you. (Some people are shy when being confronted so this may vary.)


• Play with thier hands.


• (maybe) Get more serious than normal.


• Squint.


• If they’re a naturally sarcastic person, they might exaggerate their sarcasm. (Instead of, “What do you think I was doing?! Smoking cigarrettes?!” They might say, “What did you think I was doing?! Smoking Weed?!”)


• Their sarcasm isn’t as funny because all they’re focused on is changing the subject.

Because of them, it made us feel as though we had a need to fear these countries that we weren’t very knowledgable about, and this made us think things that may very well have been entirely untrue about the countries. The media made us agree to go to war to try to protect ourselves from so called weapons of mass destruction which were proved later never to have existed in the first place. I think that this is completely out of order because, if you take a moment to think about the number of people who have lost their lives because of the war, you will see that many people have died over something that didn’t even exist which is just ridiculous.

So, how can we change this? The simple fact is that the things that we read in the newspapers aren’t always true, and this means that we shouldn’t pay much attention to it. Instead of spending your money on newspapers which are often biased, you should instead watch the news on the BBC, who try to present the facts with no bias as far as they possibly can. You might find that this gives you a much better idea of what the true facts are, and you would be able to think about things a lot easier if you were able to make up your own mind about them.

We owe this to all of our soldiers who have died for our country. They were sent to war without really knowing what they were fighting against, and the government knew full well that they were going to war for no reason at all. This is completely unacceptable, and a lot of young lives have been lost over the course of the last decade simply because the media feel the need to report on things that aren’t true, and they also feel the need to exaggerate the things that are true. 

Remember that not everything that you read is true. 

1.   Your son’s pet hamster has died.  Your son is crushed.  You need to bury Charley with dignity.  You can’t go to work because of the funeral. 

2.   You were all set to go to work when you suddenly came down with a terrible cold.  You are coughing and sneezing.  You have mucous coming out of your nose in buckets.  Your temperature must be at least 115 degrees.  You have to go to the bathroom every five minutes.  Your head feels like it is about to explode.  P.S.  You son’s pet hamster died.

3.   You were on your way to work when you accidentally ran over a skunk.  You got out of your car to see if the skunk was alive when you were met by a horrible, lingering odor.  You gagged.  Your clothes smelled to high heaven.  You took a shower, but the odor wouldn’t go away.  You really wanted to get into the office today.  Oh yes, your son’s pet hamster is really, truly dead.

4.   You were watching a Lady Gaga video when you started to dance.  You glided across your den, but then you twisted your ankle.  You knocked over a table that was holding a priceless vase.  Unfortunately, the vase landed on your foot.  When your wife saw the broken vase, she was so upset that she threw the remote control at you.  Would you believe it?  The remote control hit your head.  You passed out.  Now you see double.  Your wife is taking you to see a doctor.  By the way, your son’s pet hamster was only pretending to be dead.  He has made a remarkable recovery.  Hooray for Charley!

5.   You were ready to go out the door when you split your pants.  Perhaps it was the double portion of ribs that you ate last night that caused the problem.  Anyway, as you were going upstairs to change your pants, you tripped over your son’s car collection.  You did a back-flip and landed on your back.  Now you can’t get up.  Your laying on the ground with split pants and no way to go anywhere.  Your wife is calling the paramedics.  You feel so embarrassed.  Your son is mad at you for landing on his special car collection.  Charley, the hamster, is mad at you too for disturbing his sleep.

1: Ask too many questions about what they’re doing and where they are.

2: Being to clingy and wanted to near them at all times of the day.

3: Assuming on constant basis… (Thinking they’re cheating or doing something wrong)

4: Not trusting them at all, especially showing it.

5: Not being honest to them or constantly lying to them.

6: Constamtly pressuring them… (decisions, marriage…etc)

    Be sure that there are more that I probably didn’t name. Be sure to be very mindful about what you say and do. This way you’ll better your chances on keeping your boyfriend/girlfriend closer and happier.

How many ‘little’ lies do you tell on a daily basis without even realizing?

In a study, students were secretly videotaped having conversations with people they had just met. Afterwards, the students were asked to watch the tapes and to identify any untruths. On average, each of the students told 3 lies in each 10 minute conversation.

Most people will agree that they dis-like liars or simply could not trust anyone who tells lies but these people may also add that to tell a little ‘white lie’ is OK. So what exactly is a ‘white lie’?

White lies (or fibs) are insignificant, benign or trivial lies; mostly used to reinforce the self-esteem of a loved one or friend.

Think about it. When was the last time you told someone they looked beautiful or no, their bottom didn’t look big in those jeans or yes, that meal was delicious when you didn’t actually mean it?

White lies or fibs are the kind we use to be ‘tactful’. Can you remember a time when you pretended you had already made plans when someone you didn’t like too much asked you out? So what exactly is wrong with telling the truth?

The problem is that telling the truth on these occasions can be cruel and extremely damaging and to be honest with you, most of us are simply not that unkind.

When we do come across a person who is too honest, they are often considered to be extremely blunt, rude or plain antisocial so where exactly are the boundaries?

Scientific evidence shows that depressive people are more honest and that when people recover from being depressed they become less honest. So can telling lies be better for our health?

Many of us simply can’t handle the truth. We may ask a question and already have a predetermined answer we are hoping to hear so that when we hear that answer, we don’t question whether it’s true or not.

Lying, like many things in life, can become a habit and there are times when one little lie can grow and mutate into something horrendous so they certainly should be used sparingly (like sugar) if at all, and just like sugar they might make things sweeter but too much can cause rot so keep this in mind: there are times when a half-truth can do more harm than a whole lie.

There is a rumor that there is to be a new bill passed and law placed that reads your mind and determines lies. Has the mind developed in such intense ways that the government now feels there’s a need to keep tabs on everyone’s thought process so nobody can do anything wrong? I hope they know that there are going to be those criminals who outsmart the lie detectors. The mind just can’t be stopped, but I guess the average person can be tamed.

The president came on the projectorvision (which is the new form of television but it’s High Definition cable connected to a projector that now works in either dark or light rooms. We call it the ‘PJ’.) Announcing that the Lie detector was passed and the company in charge will be in need of volunteers to test out the program. At the end of his announcement he blurted out that if nobody volunteers he will randomly choose people to do it with or without their consent.

Jaren walked in the room, “Hey, are they even allowed to do that Amelia? There has to be laws and rules that they are breaking.”

Amelia crossed her arms while laying on the couch, “They are breaking laws and rules but they feel like it’s for our safety. So, we can’t really do too much about it, it’s already passed.”

Amelia instantly realized a great way to fix some of the problem to the situation. She picked up the phone and decided to call her local senator.

When the senator’s secretary came on the line Amelia began to say the things she was rehearsing in her head, “Yes, I was just hearing about the new bill that was passed. I want to ask for Senator Whitten to bring up to the House of Representatives the idea of testing out the Lie Detector on inmates.”

The conversation seemed to come to an end fast. Amelia crossed her fingers and hoped for the best possible outcome to this whole crazy experiment on an intense program. It probably will not even work out. There is probably going to be a lot of complications and malfunctions. I wonder what happens when a malfunction takes place.  They can’t just pass a bill and create a law for a program to be placed in our head without us knowing what it does, how it works and all the risks. Then again, that seems to be exactly what it is they are doing.

The very next day the PJ turned on automatically when the president’s speech started, kind of odd for a speech two days in a row. The senator must have called a meeting immediately following my phone call. This speech was about testing out the program on inmates to see all of its abilities. The president announced that their first testing will begin in two days. All that is needed is enough of the inmates from different jails, prisons and other types of penitentiaries to volunteer for the study.

The first inmate to volunteer was Linda Perenson. She told Infuriated Magazine that she one day snapped and became a serial killer over night. She went after all the people in her life that always told her she wasn’t good enough. At the time, she hadn’t slept in days. People were making her life impossible and when she did great things, she was talked about like it was never going to be good enough. Linda agreed to have the lie detector installed into her brain to help people out there who couldn’t help but lie and ruin people’s lives. She wanted to put a stop to the horrible things people say that aren’t even closely true. She admitted to Infuriated Magazine that if this program was designed a little earlier the murders she committed could have been prevented.

After easily installing the device all the scientists, programmers and doctors were all ready to try things out. Linda sat back in the chair they had for her and the process was started. She was to answer simple questions and tell them exactly what she was thinking. They could easily determine what she was saying to be true or false by her pulse, her tone, the side of her brain that was activated and the color code it created on the screen. After determining all the things she said to be true or false, the scientists decided to have her lie for all of her answers. It was time to overwork the program to see what it would do. Every time the lie came through on the screen, Linda would feel a light jolt when it was recognized.

After a few hours of testing they released Linda, keeping the program in her head so that she could learn to live her everyday life with it. They wanted to see how it would work. Next, they were going to install them in every inmates head, determine how their brain worked and send them off to see how it worked in their everyday life.

Each day more people would have the device installed into their head and the inmates that had the program already installed would still run daily tests. The lying has drastically decreased throughout each penitentiary. The scientists say that they are ready for some regular everyday people to try it out on. The program has not sent out any red flags and probably won’t anytime soon.

The president sent out a national disclosure of how the program would work, everyone has to agree to the terms wither they wanted to or not. Under the dotted line in small print stated ‘This is a program developed to crack down on illegal activity. If you are found guilty of lying, you will be prosecuted just like any other crime. Watch what you think.’ The program will be monitored by the government, kind of like the Internet, but they are going to crack down on every last person who lies, at all.

The PJ automatically turned on in the living-room. Amelia and Jaren walked in the room and began to watch the next presidential speech. The president announced how well the device was working out and that it seems like the nation is ready for the next step. She announced that everyone has three days to go to their local government doctor and have the device installed and tested. Amelia and Jaren both rolled their eyes wishing that there was another way to go about cracking down on criminal activity. Just when the president seemed like she was done speaking she ended her speech saying that everyone has one month to adapt to the program and everyone after that month will be prosecuted.

Amelia logged in online and saw the riots forming in posts. There isn’t another soul happy about what was going on. Nobody wants to put some device in their head that helps train your thought process and keeps you from thinking certain things. I wonder what happens if you think about killing someone. Will you be prosecuted for that? Will it be put into evidence if the person is actually killed? This just seems very ridiculous.

The very next day Amelia walked into the government doctor’s office asking for all the information about the procedure and all the rules attached to it. The government doctor explained everything in full detail and then handed Amelia a pamphlet on anything she might need repeated in the future. Amelia signed the dotted line and sat down in the chair. As soon as she let out a sigh she was told the procedure was already finished. She looked the doctor over and then got up and grabbed her coat still confused on how fast and painless it was.

 When Amelia arrived home she found Jaren on the couch asleep. She shoved him to wake him up, ready to see if he had his lie detector installed as well. He flinched, woke up and asked if Amelia could see his device sticking out. She said no and he checked for hers and couldn’t find hers either. They both realized it wasn’t as bad as they thought it was. Amelia, eager to try it out, decided to start asking Jaren questions.

“So, Jaren, do you like my jeans?” Knowing that he hated them but always lied and said he loved them.

Jaren whimpered, “Yes, they’re great.”

Jaren felt a light jolt hit his brain and they both started laughing. They kept going back and forth lying to each other and feeling the gentle jolt to their brains. The device didn’t seem all that bad, after all. They both crossed their fingers in hope that they would be able to not lie after the month is up. They wanted to find a local program to help them train their minds to never lie ever again.

Walking into the doors of a local high school seemed a little ridiculous, but the possibility of going to jail or prison was becoming too big of a risk factor. Amelia was not willing to go to a penitentiary for what was going on in her head. So she sat down in the classroom and decided to take responsibility for her own thoughts. A couple minutes later Jaren walked in, he must have felt the exact same way.

The teacher introduced herself as Ms. Jessica Bland. She introduced the class as ‘Thought strength 101’. I think this class makes me feel as smart as a first grader. Heck, a first grader might be smarter than me at this point. I mean, I have to go to class to figure out how not to kill people with my mind, lie, or think up something completely evil or conniving. I don’t think my self-humorous thoughts are worth serving time. Let’s just get this over with, Amelia thought to herself.
