Thank you sir.

Now to go ahead and answer the question in the way it was meant to be answered. It depends. Am I at a job interview? Am I meeting a drug dealer for the first time? Am I trying to get laid in a bar (not that I do this anymore being engaged and all)? All of those are situations in which someone might do something that doesn't really ring true to their opinion, but the situation itself calls for more consideration of pleasing the other party. I personally have been "fake" in all three of the scenarios listed above and I'm proud of it. I think that knowing the right time to slam your true opinion down on the table and when to hold your tongue to please someone else is a skill that directly reflects upon ones intelligence. However when I'm meeting a new person that is just a perspective friend I have no need to falsify my ideals to please that person and I will just stick to my guns so to speak. Their are other scenarios that apply to when I stick to my guns, but what I think is important is knowing the appropriate time to reveal your true thoughts and when to stfu and agree.

I'm off to class.
