A Polish batallion is being advanced upon from two directions. The Nazi German army from the West and the Soviet Red Army from the East. Which one do they focus on first for total annihilation?
Answer: The Germans.

Oh, No! All those homicide bombers are expecting Black Eyed Virgins. It looks like they got a bait and switch deal. What a shock to those poor souls who blew themselves up when they are greeted with a horned being not by 24 black eyed beauties. Too bad there is no refunds for this deal, they are stuck with it for eternity.

Yeah, the camelion president, who can change colors faster than anybody can blink.

Actually lying is very much an Asian characteristic. It is also a tribal trait where. Your tribe or, in the case of Moslems, your religion is the entire legitimate world. Everything outside of your world is enemy and giving them true information is giving the enemy power over you. Within these societies the dynamic works at the level of the clan and the family also. There is no desire to work with other groups because you must not give those others power over you. Other groups are tolerated so long as it is necessary and displaced when possible.
That description is a little extreme for some and right on for others such as Moslems and Hindus (people indigineous toIndia, whatever their religion) but to some extent it applies to Asians and North Africans in general.

Maybe what you have to do is ask them if they swear by Allah it's the truth. That ought to give them pauseWon't slow them up a bit.It is not wrong to lie to an infidel. That needs no modifications or what ifs. It is not wrong to lie to an infidel. Ever.It is wrong to tell a truth to an infidel if that truth benefits the infidel.

Was he talking about the Democrat-Socialist-Communist-Utopian liberals?Same-o same-o. To that particular tribe truth is entirely relative and is whatever benefits the cause. There is simply no functioning concept of truth as observable fact regardless of how it affects one's "position"- the party line.
