Truth vs. Lies
I'm on the second topic because I was gone. Anyway, I think it's really important to be truthful. Lies become this crazy web. You start telling one lie and then you have to cover it up with another and another until nothing is true. Once this guy told a story about a summer camp he was a counselor at. These girls came up to him and asked him a question and he decided to talk in an Irish accent and act like he was from Ireland. And they believed him. And they'd introduce him to all these people because they thought it was really cool that he was from a different country. After a while it become so crazy that he had to remember who thought he was Irish, and who didn't. To this day he never told the girls and everyone else that he wasn't really Irish. And he feels really bad!!! That wasn't the greatest example but still. If you tell lies you have to remember who thinks the lie is true and who knows the truth. So it's just better to tell the truth.

Honestly, I would be ecstatic if a bunch of people thought I was Irish. Though I'd probably need to think up a good excuse if the Irish-thinkers caught me speaking with an American accent -- maybe I could say I was acting, or I didn't like the stares. Yeah, I can see how that would get confusing.
