I have too bad a memory to out and out lie about things.

If a friend gets a new pixie haircut that makes her look like Magilla Gorilla, well, I'm not going to tell her it looks like hell, its not my place to tell her really.

If a friend asks for advice on something non-trivial (hair, clothes, stuff like that) then they will get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I won't be hurtful about it, but if I value their friendship, and they are coming to me, then they are getting the truth.

Ommission is still lying, how bad the lie is, depends on how bad the ommission is. I'm having trouble coming up with an example - but I'll come back with one. Lying to make someone feel better, eh -- as long as it's not hurting someone else, who gives a rats patooty.
