- voxic11 12y agoDo you have any evidence of that? Lies that rely on empirical evidence can be shown to be false, while lies not based on empirical evidence can never be shown to be false.

They're so cheap! (That was a lie, based on no evidence, that can be disproven with evidence. People do this all the time)
