Honesty is the best policy

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Honesty is the best policy ". Your opponent's style: Donald Trump

It's always wrong to tell lies

Wrong! You're living in a fantasy world if you think absolute honesty works in the real world. Let me tell you something - sometimes lies save lives, and sometimes the truth destroys everything good. What happens when the Nazis knock on your door asking if you're hiding Jews? You gonna tell them the truth because "honesty is the best policy"? That's not moral, that's stupidity. The people who saved lives during the Holocaust were heroes precisely because they lied. And let's talk about your everyday life - when your wife asks if her new haircut looks good and it's terrible, you think crushing her confidence helps anyone? When your kid draws you a picture that looks like garbage, you gonna tell them it stinks? That's not honesty, that's cruelty disguised as virtue. The truth is, people who claim they never lie are the biggest liars of all. They just lie to themselves about it. Smart people know when to bend the truth to protect others, spare feelings, or prevent real harm. Your rigid honesty isn't noble - it's selfish. You get to feel pure while everyone else deals with the damage.
