I some how think some girlie urban imitation AWD would be closer to the mark!!!

Here in Australia Mitsubishi market one as the Pajero, the Spanish translation is probably relevant.

Maybe that explains the absence of shame; perhaps it's been overcome with pride after the hard learning to overcome a first instinct.

I did not say that Saying nothing equals dishonesty.

What would YOU say that saying nothing equals?

The Art of Lying

Lies of Omission: To lie by omission is to remain silent and thereby withhold from someone else a vital piece (or pieces) of information. The silence is deceptive in that it gives a false impression to the person from whom the information was withheld. It subverts the truth;it is a way to manipulate someone into altering their behavior to suit the desire of the person who intentionally withheld the vital information;and, most importantly, it's a gross violation of another person's right of self-determination.

Have you ever heard the word, "spin doctor?" This is the job title for the political campaign people who intentionally speak only a part of the truth with the goal of deceiving their listeners and getting the listener to supporting the spin doctor's candidate.

To convince people of that argument by necessity you'll be forced to argue "It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is."

My worst case is dishonesty by saying nothing. This has been a hard thing to learn to do because my first instinct is usually to blurt out the truth! but on occasion I can actually keep my mouth shut.

Keeping quiet when speaking more than is necessary would be a detriment is not the same as what is described above. If you want to take the trouble to read the whole thread that BB had the rather impressive industry to dig out you will find my words and thoughts.

You may find the thread by searching for threads started by me entitled, Suddenly I got a really funny feeling....

Thanks guys.

You know what is said about getting down in the mud and wrestling with a hog.....no sense doing it because a hog is really good at it and because the hog likes it. You cannot win and you will not enjoy it.

I know what is said. Doesn't mean it is right because it is said. I was at a Hog Wrestling event. Hog certainly didn't like it and they don't always win.
