Answer 21

Do not believe them! Truly honest people never give it a thought...have You ever said that to anybody?

Answer 22

I'd say, "Great! I think most people ARE honest, don't you?" And get into a long, deep discussion about honesty.

Answer 23

Agreed, anyone you don't know that has to "prefix" a statement to manipulate you into their frame of reference.... worst yet are those that use gaslighting tactics to put you on the defensive or invoke a emotional response to a clearly deceptive premise.

One should stand by what they say and more importantly what they due.
