| Just saw The Invention of Lying last night. |

Briliant little movie.
Ricky Gervais is an intelligent, funny man.
The plot and questions it raises are things I'll be thinking about for days.
I also wonder how much Jennifer Garner's part might have been just a teensy bit biographical...

| 1. Very thought provoking movie. |
|
I thought about this movie for a while after I saw it as well. I thought the treatment of religion was a little heavy-handed, but hey I'm a big boy with big beliefs, I can take it.
(And do women really *do* that just before a date?)

| 2. I think the perspective that lies aren't ALL bad was an interesting take on things. |
|
And as to your question....
I've known a couple women who DO.

| 3. Lies aren't bad. Betrayal is bad. |
|
You can betray by telling lies and you can betray by telling the truth. It depends on the circumstances.

| 4. Precisely. And the previous culture, where everyone blurted out what they really thought... |
|
Seemed ultimately tactless and hurtful.
White lies are the threads from which polite society is woven.
