Do we expect people to lie to us? What would our world be like if no one lied?

Well it asks if "we" expect people to lie to us and I would say maybe some people might expect people to lie, but personally I don't expect people to lie to me and I try to give people the benefit of the doubt mainly because I do my best to not lie to anyone and also I’m fairly good at being able to tell when someone’s lying at least for the most part. Now if no one in the whole world lied than you wouldn’t have to worry about people lying to your face or anything like that and also if no one lied there would be more justice in the justice system cause it would just be like ask them if they did it and if they said yes put them in jail if they said no then let them go. Make things a lot simpler. A way to not lie is if you don’t want to hurt someone than just say that you’re not going to answer the question rather than answering with a lie. So you don’t need to be in some fairy tale land to live without lies, yes it would be very difficult to do but is not impossible the author of the ways we lie even said that it wouldn’t be easy to eliminate lies from your lives which means that it’s not impossible to eliminate lying it would just be very difficult.

Yay first blog of the semester. Should corporations have the same rights as individuals?

Ok so this thing about corporations having the same rights as actual people I think it’s a bad idea altogether. Cause look at it this way corporations are going to have a lot more money then an individual and in most cases money equals power, he more money you have the more power you have and so if corporations have all this power as to who gets elected into office most likely they’re going to be running the country at some point so bad news bears right there. But my thoughts on this is that they already have a lot of power already so they should be reducing the rights of corporations rather than giving them more rights cause they’re not actual people, they’re a group of people. America is suppose to be a country that’s run by the people not he corporations, in the race for campaigning the one with the most money wins right so it should definitely be that corporations should have less rights.
