Lies need support. The truth doesn’t.

So if you want to see how much someone believes in the things they say, look at how much they defend and fight for it. If they must protect it, it’s a weak lie that has to be maintained by them. If they don’t care and about disagreement or any sort of oppositional viewpoint, it’s because it’s their own personal truth that doesn’t require any effort on their part to be strong, it’s self sustaining. It’s an absolute value to them, so it doesn’t matter what the world thinks of it.

I disagree. It's often only when a central argument has flanking evidentiary support that an upset occurs and truth is established.

@SW-User I could say the same thing.

@Reject Don't become a judge

@SW-User Why would it matter to you if I was?

Oh so wise and I concur.
I always think the louder the proclamations (trying to prove) the more false.

@Magenta That’s true! Every lie always has countless excuses or reasons to exist. The truth doesn’t need a single one. It just is no matter how you feel about it.

@Reject Mhm, it exists on it's own merit.

Reject · 26-30, M

@Magenta Which means the closer someone is to the truth, the more they can do the same.

I always know when my kids are lying because they over explain.

Reject · 26-30, M

@Kuronekko Exactly. It extends to so much else too. For example if you’re blocked by someone because you didn’t agree on something, that’s a length they had to take to protect themselves. That tells you they don’t fully believe in their side of it.

Disappointing @Reject

@ThreeLittleBirds People can be. I try to not expect too much from them.

@ElwoodBlues When I said that I was hoping to get one of you to take that bait so you’d actually talk about my post and it worked out well.

Now do I think people’s views matter in a courtroom? Not before addressing a crime they don’t. You can argue that they matter as far as affecting a sentence, or in your example, a jury trial, but that is merely a means to addressing the crime. It’s not why people are in that courtroom and none of this is relevant to my post. It’s the same case with the evidence you commented about before. That’s only a means to addressing the truth, but it’s not the truth. Both of you have missed the point entirely.

@Reject Keep fighting for your claim then; thereby, in your eyes, demonstrating it to be a lie🤣😂

Reject · 26-30, M

@ElwoodBlues Yes, because I’m fighting for it in your eyes, which would make me the liar.

ElwoodBlues · M

Seems you've never heard of this thing called SCIENCE, which ALWAYS requires evidence!!

@ElwoodBlues If you actually read my post, you’d know the answer to that.

ElwoodBlues · M

@Reject The evidence I cited proves your post is false.

Reject · 26-30, M

@ElwoodBlues I don’t mind you thinking that. Now that you’ve established this for yourself. You’re done, right?

ThreeLittleBirds · F

Yes 😌

@MartinTheFirst If I was, I would be. I’m genuinely asking you to not worry about it. Your comments tell me you are.

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

@Reject sure
