As Mr Dryden, from the movie "Lawrence of Arabia" so elegantly stated, "A man who tells lies, like me, merely hides the truth. But a man who tells half-lies, has forgotten where he's put it."

The problem with this chart is that it contains elements of truth, liberally mixed with outright lies, thus creating 'half-lies' which mislead the well intentioned. It also shows the lack of mature reason of the ones creating the message.

Had they left it to a serious appraisal of our national politicians, their antics, and the fawning media, which acts as an enabler to those same politicians, we would be far closer to the truth.

There are no lies in this chart. There are quite obviously some truths you cannot accept and at the same time cannot specifically dispute.

I am guessing most of your so-called truths are ones which you cannot specifically support, either. So I guess you two are even.

Was there a point to this thread or were we actually suppose to come in and laugh at it all this time?
