The reason always why we used to have arguments with my boyfriend before is when I caught him lied to me on something. But then his reasons is that its a white lies. Then I started telling him whether its a white lies or black lies its still a LIE,and its not good. But then he still insisting that there's a different between the two of them. White lies is when you hide something because you're protecting your love ones to get hurt. And black lies is when you do bad things and you hide it from someone you love. You believe on this guys?

No, I don't believe that. There is no different between a white lie and a black lie. LIE is always a LIE. You much get hurt when you know it in other people than to him.

Not one bit! A lie is a lie and a liar is a liar. That's the way I see it. A rose, whatever the color is still arose. And a skunk no matter what color, when it sprays still stinks.

I don't believe in such. White lies and black lies are all the same. The bottom line is they are still lies. Whatever angle you get to see it, it's still a lie, something out of truth. And lying is bad because it hurts other people's feelings. When you lie, you deprive that certain person to know the truth, you don't get to tell him what he or she needs to know. And I believe it's a person's right to know the truth. So, I would suggest that we don't have to categorize lies because in the end, it's still a lie. Tell the person concern what is really true. S they say, tell teh truth and it shall set you free. And I'm sure everyone would want to have a peaceful and free life so don't lie.
