I wouldn't say either way.

Which would probably be interpreted as "yes," of course -- but I still would not have broken the promise, since I never promised to lie about it.

If you refuse to answer and that is interpreted as a yes then you did break the promise. You should have said no.

You fail

But I didn't, since I never told B whether A and I slept together.

It was a yes or no question. You fail.

I am fasting right now and I have to go through it for 30 days and then Im free LOL.

I guess that works if you're a lawyer. But for normal applications you've failed to keep the promise. Keeping promises includes lying if you know that silence will be interpreted in a certain way.

Have you stopped buttfucking homeless men?

You can only answer "yes" or "no."

Of course you lie to friend B to keep the secret. The correct answer is "That's not my information to tell, you'll have to ask friend A yourself."

I fucking hate when people put me in that position, which is why I tell my friends never to ask me to lie for them, or get me involved in their drama.

Correct, but then you lied.

The moral dilemma I presented MrJiveBoJingles was simple... lie or break a promise. There was no third alternative although he tried hard to find one. That's why he failed. I was just curious which way he would go.

Yep that's why you don't make the promise in the first place because if you do then you have to lie.

Oi, what happened to "mu"?

I never face them. I turn and run

Don't mis-shift
Don't disrespect PVD
Don't look at watch when with gf
Don't laugh when teacher says boson
Don't throw calculators that don't belong to me

Do boast about your supernatural abilities
Do criticize others harshly about their inability to do common tasks
Do live a quarter mile at a time

-The SV Code

what does this word morals mean? Is this due to religion?

Well done my friend.

If there are biological foundations for morality, as some scientists claims there are, it certainly predates religion. (refer to the link for a normative interpretation of what morality means)

I'm a scientist and I don't buy it.

What science do you study? I'm talking about anthropologists and psychologists, mainly.

Then why did you say SCIENCE? When you meant social studies.

My job title and degree states I'm a microbiologist...though its nothing more than a person who studied too much biology =p

This was a joke, right?

Hehe, well, this kind of claim usually comes from people who study other primates (I think Frans de Waal made such claims, for example)... maybe it's not surprising that it isn't a belief you hold

(By the way, I find microbiology fascinating, in case I sound rude)

Not one bit as I only consider hard sciences to be real science, but I admit I am biased.
