@ Prince: You asked which is more important to society; I answered. Sure, I ended up putting the two against each other, but only to show
why. Nevertheless, I apologize if my reply wasn't up to par, it seems I'm getting rusty at answering broad questions these days x]. To hopefully appease you though, I think honesty is more important to society than dishonesty (Deception, that is).
@
Core : All in all, as you might gander from above, I was not anal retentive enough to really
care about the differences between dishonesty and deception. Yes, in their broadest senses, they can mean very different things. My post however, clearly alluded to the fact that I was using the two as if they were synonymous. A mistake on my part, obviously, and one I apologize for, as I am sure you were quite annoyed by my post and its tendency to ignore obvious definitions.
....but the thread creator doesn't want this to be a debate thread?...-.- Oh...nevermind, ignore everything above >.>
