No. A lie is a complete fabrication, whereas a half-truth is a very targeted response.\n\nYou have not lied, but you haven't told the full truth.\n\nTo wit "I was at the office, taking care of things."\n\nOf course, he doesn;t reveal that "The Office" is the name of a bar.

It depends on how the truth is delivered.  If you are asked a direct question and omit details such as to give an impression opposite to the truth, then yes, it is a lie regardless of how much truth is in there.\n\nFor example, suppose you and your brother eat some of a cake that your mother was saving for later. Your mother asks "did you eat the cake?" and you reply "My brother ate the cake".\n\nThis is true, but implies you did not eat the cake.  Thus it is a lie.\n\nOn the other hand, you could answer "well, someone definitely ate the cake" and this would be an incomplete truth but not a lie. Someone did eat the cake, you just don't want to say who becuase it will get you into trouble.\n\nIncomplete truths aren't lies -- they require your friend to ask more explicit questions. However your friend might not be very happy if you avoid a complete answer -- and most intelligent people will recognize an evasion when they hear one.

Lots of things make people say that. There are pieces of evidence pointing in both directions (yes/no). I'm not sure what to believe, myself. I'm kind of leaning toward no, simply because the claims against the moon landing make sense, and the attempts to refute those claims don't sound very credible.\n\nBut honestly, I don't really care. Maybe we did, maybe we didn't. Unless you went yourself, or helped fake the whole thing, or are given adequate proof, you really can't know for sure.

It would seem to pose a dilemma, however, in my opinion I am tempted to believe them up until the time that I catch them telling the truth and which will eventually happen if one engages the liar into a lengthy discussion.\nWith the proper question posed at a particular time within the discourse the truth will 'blurt.'\nA question such as "Do you want to be treated to a free steak dinner on me?" \nHope this does it.
