Are "half-truths" Lies?

Difficult, I guess just as long as you do not hurt anybody's feelings

I dont think half truth are lies. I will term it as smart work

truth is truth whether half or full. your son is at hospital,as i smashed his car...now tell me who would want to face his parents,so just tell that their son is at hospital.its not a lie and its helpfull too.its not dishonest but its not being honest either.

My nature determines that I need to know the details - I would go with half truths are lies.

Difficult! Er..Liable to leave certain things out if they're not important but will worry someone. I'd rather have the whole story known however!

a lot of people say if you don't tell the whole truth then you are telling a lie i don't agree with that at all if you ask me where i was for the last hour and i tell you the mall and i lying to you because i didn't tell you i stopped at the gas station too no i am not lying i did go to the mall i just stopped at the gas station too

tough to answer!!!
