(1,716 posts)Maybe you can see a pattern here. Don't all of these things have to do with ego, or how she presents herself to the world? Everyone does this. Some are better at it than she is so they get away with more, but everyone lies about this kind of thing. Everyone.
So sure, if you want to say she is a liar and a cheat just like every other person on the planet, that's correct. But I believe that those terms should be reserved for a different type of behavior. Liars and cheats make shit up about other people. See the difference? Some folks, and I imagine she is in this group, would never do something like that. Basic honesty.
Ironically, I believe Zimmerman will die on this particular cross. Had he told everyone that he stalked Martin, then confronted him, then began an altercation with him, then shot him because he was getting his ass kicked, he would have been untouchable under the existing Florida stand your ground law.
The fact that Zimmerman lied and said he was jumped by Martin is probably what will send him to jail. Had he been "honest" and if he did not "bear false witness against" Martin, he would have gone completely free because what he actually did was not illegal at all.
Weird, huh?
