White Lies

When are white lies okay?
A fellow blogger had a post about this a while back and although I don't think bold-faced lying is good, are white lies okay?
Thoughts?

of course little white lies are okay, in moderation of course. but the bold face lies, generally a no because they totally come back to haunt you.

What if, in one particular case, you knew the truth would put a stop to future white lies?

No, probably not.

i don't mind the occasional little white lie to spare feelings or smooth over a rough spot, but i make a habit to NEVER do it to someone i really care about. if i really care about someone, i owe them my honesty. so, i usually only end up telling a little white lie to acquaintance-type people. i try not to, though, because somehow those things snowball...
