Call me a shit if you will, but I think that truth, particularly as it applies to social interaction, is a much more slippery and ill defined thing than the black and white lie/truth paradigm allows for. There's a lot more shading of truth than outright lying.
That said, when I have lied outright in the past, it has usually turned out alright. It's when I've told more of the truth than was necessary that I've gotten myself in deep water.
