Where did I say I was "shocked"? All I have ever

The shock enters when it becomes a big deal that some person in
public service is caught in a lie. The person who is caught doesn't
get why it's a big deal, and the people who caught the person lying
have to overreact so they can feign outrage.

Why do you think the news organizations have to hype such stories? A
feeding frenzy always sells, and it's easy to ignore the fact that
everyone is guilty of lying about something when the finger is
pointing at someone else.

addressed was your question as to why some lies
are acceptable and some are not. It's all about the
consequences,

A society that only has consequences in some scenarios of lying has
produced people who take the habit of lying with them into all
aspects and levels of society.


but you never seem to want to address that point.

I have addressed the point. Asking "why some people get a free pass
for lying" is addressing the fact that we only hold some people
accountable because we only value the truth if lying doesn't produce
a desired result.

Why hasn't anyone responded to my question by saying all lying is
wrong and noone should get a free pass? It's because the truth is
people actually don't believe all lying is wrong even despite the
fact of asked individually most people would say telling a lie is
wrong.

All you keep doing is asking the same question over
and over again. Why is OK? Why is it OK? Why is it
OK?

When we differentiate between scenarios and give reasons why lying is
wrong based on outcome or who did the lying, we're essentially are
saying other scenarios where people lie are acceptable.

In fact you even snipped my answer just so you ask
your question again.
Thus the reason for the troll comments, which I
stand by.

You're wrong. This group consistently discusses a topic that
involves one political side or the other being caught in either a lie
or the appearance of lying. I am just asking the obvious question.

I believe we've already said that some scenarios where people lie
are acceptable. If you can't tell the difference between a little
white lie and a harmful whopper, you must be somewhere on the
autism spectrum.

Some lying is harmless and we accept it. Other lying is harmful,
and we call out the liar and expect he will correct himself.
When he does not, we suspect bad intent and/or sociopathy.

You really should learn to read. And quote properly:

white lie and a harmful whopper, you must be somewhere on the
autism spectrum.

If she CAN tell the difference, then she's not on the autism spectrum.
Plain old logic.
