Re: Lying and kidding/Joking.
Lying is lying and a fact is a fact ... so there is not doubt about it. But while joking its already been assumed that other person knows that its not true and its just for the sake of fun.
How would I know that if some is lying or joking at a given time ?
For example if someone says " I ate chocolate covered roasted spiders while I was in Africa."
Now how would I know that it is just a joke or a statement of fact , right ?
