Sorry Jinx - I think it completely depends upon the situation, the people involved and the circumstances. More often than not as an adult, I would invariably choose the honest approach.

How about you?

Hey Jinx, did you miss the question or...?

No, I think I answered it.
You see, I was having a hard time reconciling you lying to your boss an/or girlfriend about something as silly as posting on the cellar, hiding it from them by changing your name and having posts removed - and then preaching to MTP about being an adult, being honest, not hiding things etc...
In the grand scheme of things I couldn't give a flying fuck really, I was just momentarily shocked by what I perceive as a lack of integrity. Thus the practice before you preach comment...
Unless you meant something else by "how about you"?

I spoke with MTP at some length the other night about her position vis a vis parental responsibility. By the end of that conversation, I realized that I need to simply butt the hell out of that situation in her life. Her steadfastness in her position, and my core beliefs, are utterly and irreconcilably incompatible, and further conversation was going to result in one of us really disliking the other.

I hate it when that happens.

Sorry to hear that Spode. You are one of the many people I really look up to in the Cellar, and believe have a great life ethic.

Eh. I understand and respect her opinion and position on the issue. I just think that those of us who are parents look at this issue differently. And that is not to say that everyone who is a parent agrees with me, only that the point of view differs from those who can only guess what it is like.
