I think more often then not, the fact that I might be caught in a lie stops me from telling one.

I didn't choose either, because neither answer applies to me. I think we need more options.

I'm just not a good liar. I can't do it. Morally, I think it's wrong.. but I still voted for the first option because when I do lie, I always worry that they will find out. I mean, everyone lies once in a while, you can't avoid it. I just hate excessive liars.

I think it's a mix between the two...but i probably don't lie becuase i don't want to be caught in a huge tangle of lies...or something, i dunno, there's nothing really for me to lie about haha

Well... I think lying is wrong BECAUSE I know it affects other people. And if the threat of being caught in a lie is enough to make you not do it, then you probably think it's morally wrong somewhere deep inside.
Therefore, I think both answers are valid, but I put the first because it's probably more practically true.

How about I don't lie because it undermines the fabric of our society?

I don't know how to lie so, I don't attempt to.

It used to be the threat of being caught in a lie... but now it's more of it just being morally wrong. I feel so low when I lie. And knowing how lies affect people stops me.

Here's the real question: How many people are lying in this thread?
