Yes, everyone has to. Now tell us your social security number, date of birth, full address, all your credit card information, your bank PIN, who you last masturbated to, and the full set of avatars you post under.

It says that you should always tell the truth, not that you should answer every question. ;)

Don't make me play the "why won't you give in to my jokes" card again.

The truth will set you free. I was in a relationship once and was asked if a specific pair of pants made her ass look fat. I said yes and she broke up with me. So you see, the truth will set you free ;)

You were being diplomatically economic with the truth there, which can be, and usually is, deceitful.

The truth was that her ass made her ass look fat and not the pants.

A truthful reply would have been;- well, those pants don't make your ass look any fatter or thinner than it really is.

Actually what she wanted was bigger boobs but I didn't want to pay for a boob job so I told her to just rub toilet paper between her breasts to make them bigger. When she asked what makes me think that would work, I replied, it worked on your ass ;)

You should strive to tell the truth but you don't have to answer all questions requiring it. Ideally that's how it should be but it's ridiculously difficult to tell the truth all of the time.

Side: Yes under any condition

Imagine that you're in an alien (the aliens are silicon-based, or rather mechanical) ship, and they asked you a question. You manage to cheat your answer, and then they ask whether you already knew it.

If you didn't know, they'll destroy earth and humans. If you say that you knew, they'll put you back and won't return.

The destruction of Earth wouldn't benefit anybody.

So, would you tell the truth?

Truth Can not be seen as beneficial or not It is only the truth, maybe that would not happen if it is a real situation but even if I told them the Truth and they destroyed Earth and Humans it would not be my fault.

Side: Yes under any condition

would you give your life for the sake of the truth?, there are some situation where life it self become cheap with respect to the truth

If truth can be neither advantageous nor disadvantageous, why is it important to tell the truth at all, let alone in all circumstances?

Side: In some of them not all

There are circumstances in which withholding the truth can be better. For example, my boss' father once had an affair just within the past 10 years. There is no reason for his grandchildren to know the truth and would only tarnish their relationship.

Then what if his grandchildren asked you directly would you tell them the truth?

I don't understand why my boss' children would ask me if their grandfather once had an affair, but okay I'll play along. No, I wouldn't, it's not my place.

No , the world would descend into chaos if the truth was told every time , its necessary to be untruthful in a fair amount of daily interactions .

I believe you always should tell the truth even if it ends up having bad results, however I personally am okay with doing an evil if I believe it is for a greater good. Just like stealing is bad but if I had to do it to keep one of my younger siblings alive I would do it in a heartbeat. Which I guess makes me a hypocrite but I would do almost anything for people I care about
