Yes, I agree with the quote "Cheaters always accuse people of cheating and liars always accuse people of lying" because if someone is cheating or lying it may mean that they are not worthy of what they have. They can be so busy worrying about if someone will find out to the point where they began to think someone is cheating on or lying to them because they are doing it. Another reason why I agree with the quote is because EVERYONE has a conscience and that conscience can either eat you alive about the situation or help you out. If you lie all the time to others you will never be able to trust no one because you don't trust yourself, and the same goes for cheating. This one quote says it all!

I agree with Karizma. There are people who lie and then there are liars. All people, at some point or another, lie, Sometimes we’re not even aware that we’re lying until someone points it out.Truth is tough. It’s humbling and it’s often times, embarrassing. In that being said no one with any discernment trusts them and they end up isolated in their lifestyle of lies.

I agree with Karizma. The cheaters and liars concience begin to feel guilty. So since its doing this they blame other people who are doing it to take the blame off themselves. So blaiming other people helps there concience ease.

I agree with her because it is so true. Liars always want to blame some one else.

I agree with Karizma because being a liar yourself as a person you wouldn't trust yourself so you could never trust someone else. A liar or cheater will be so obsessed on keeping their own dirty deeds a secret that they will accuse others of the same.

I defend this quote because liars are very short sighted, focusing only on the immediate and easy way out of a situation to keep their love ones happy. In the long run, it is impossible to have a long-term, healthy relationship built on mutual trust and honesty because liars are narcissists. On the flip-side cheaters however strive for honesty and integrity always brings the truth into the light. They choose to admit they were wrong and apologize for any hurt they have caused. At the end of the day, they can't take a stand on anything that matters.

I disagree with this quote, because not everyone that accuses someone of cheating is a cheater. They're just probably getting one of those itchy feelings that there is something suspicious going on. Although this may not be true for others, because there are some sneaky cheaters who cheat and won't get caught until maybe seen in action, or a personal item is came in contact with. Same thing goes with being a liar, you can be the most faithful and honest person of all, and accuse someone. But that doesn't mean that you're a liar unless it was proven or witnessed by someone.

I Disagree Because Everyone Is A Cheater In Some Way Just Like Everyone Is A Liar In Someway And People That Accuse Others Do The Same Thing And People Accuse Them Just The Same Its A Cycle. And Cheating Isn't Necessarily In A Relationship Neither.

Samuel Nichols

I agree with the quote. Reason why is beacuse cheaters do accuse other people and so do liars. Cheaters accuse other people becuse they believe it will take the heat off them so they can continue to cheat and won't be a suspect about it. Liars also accuse other people toblying because the liar doesn't want to get caught up in the truth and have a negative affect on the situation there in and scared what would happen next. We all have done this atleast once our lives. I know i have.

Brittany Frazier

I totally agree with Sam because when people lie and cheat they do believe they won't have to suffer any consequences for their actions. Also the statement about everyone lying or even cheating is very true, we wouldn't be humans if we did not sin.

i agree with Samuel because some cheaters accuse others on being cheaters because will give the a reason to take the attention off of them. some liars do accuse other people for lying just so they wont look phony, and untrustworthy, it takes the attention off of them and put it on the people they are accusing. little do they know the truth will be revealed .

I disagree with Sam because not "ALL" people are what they accuse others of doing. I do agree that there are a lot of people that do it and only a few who don't, but to basically say that "anyone" who calls someone a cheater or liar is one themselves is not true.

Alex Bennett

I agree Samuel, blame holders will always pass blame on to someone else if they can help it

I agree and disagree with sam because cheaters don't always accuse people of cheating. But I do agree with his statement about liars because people do accuse other people that there lying so that they can get the heat off of them.

I agree with this quote because a guilty hand always try to wash and cover the dirt with soap ( liars ). Just the thought of them being caught gives them the awkwardness around us. A woman's intuition can defeat any plan that men try to scheme against us. We are smarter , can out smart them , and will out smart them. For example, my ex boyfriend, annoyingly, said that I cheated on him and that everytime single time he asked me where was I, I always lied about it. As inept as he was , he thought he was slick ( Ha ! NOT) . So I did my research and of course it was him doing EVERYTHING he accused me of. The guilty always have a way of pointing their fingers when they aren't clean. I agree with thid quote to the fullest capacity.

Domenic Brown

I agree with the following statement that 'cheaters always accuse people is of cheating and liars always accuse people of lying because they are undeserving. Cheaters are always seeking the road less traveled or an easy way in doing things cause they are complacent, no work ethic or want to succeed in life in doing the minimum. And if the find someone who is better off than them they will accuse them off what they are cheating when it's the opposite. Liars will accuse others to get the blame and attention off of themselves so not to get exposed to unwanted attention.

Brittany Frazier

2/5/2015 06:28:15 am

I agree with this statement in a clear view that liars do accuse others of lying to take the spot light off of themselves. It's like a criminal denying their crime so they won't have to serve anytime. Some lie and cheat purposely but in allactually it's apart of being human. Everyone has done it.

Joe Dabney

2/5/2015 09:41:32 am

I do not agree with the statement simply because it is not true in some cases, it also stereotypes that if you accuse someone of cheating you must also cheat which is a strong inductive reasoning statement. Furthermore, I myself have accused someone of cheating before, I'm not a cheater, therefore the statement is not true in my case. Also, ask yourself does it mean "you" are lying when "you" accuse someone else of lying. I'll wait.... In a lot of people situation they would also disagree with this statement. With evidence from personal experiences I can confidently agree that the statement is not true.

Bazille Banks

2/6/2015 03:38:05 am

I agree with Joe because as i said in my response, you cannot assume that someone is cheating or lying just because they accused you of it. Also you can only get caught cheating if you are cheating.

Yes is agree with this quote because when a person is a certain way they will try to accuse someone of being the same way because they try to save themselves by accusing someone else.

I agree with Courtney because the one whose doing wrong gone always point there finger the other way to try in save themselves for there actions their committing that is not right.

I agree with Karizma because people be so worried about what the other person doing, than they get accused.

Alex Bennett

2/5/2015 12:34:59 pm

I agree. Everyone who did something wrong will try to pass the blame on someone else, cheating and lying are no different.

Brice Thompson

i disagree because some will own up to their actions.

Brice Thompson

2/5/2015 11:47:36 pm

i do not agree with the quote because its not always true. the ones that cheat and are scared are the ones who will accuse others to cheat because they dont want the consequences or to be the only one. the others will tell the truth. Some liars will lie on others so they wont get the wrath of consequences but the others will man up to their actions.

Not all the time cheaters accuse other people there cheating because now a days if u cheating you try a everything your power to hide it. If you cheating your not suppose to give anything away so nobody wont expect anything. But for lying its different because liar's accuse other people that there lying because they know there lying so they try and put it on somebody else

Katera Greer 2nd Period

2/6/2015 12:14:16 am

I agree with the quote because, it's always mostly the person whose accusing someone who is always the suspect of it all and they do it because it's a cover up for them not to get caught up in the wrong they know they doing. Some people know their wrongs but its not right to blame, accuse others for the things they are not doing or have ever done.

Casey Chatman 5th

2/6/2015 02:29:41 am

I believe strongly in this quote, because liers and cheaters accuse people of doing the same thing just to cover there backs. They put the attention on them to make it seem like their in the right when their really not.

Destiny King 4th

I agree, people try to hide behind other to distract people from what they are really doing.

Bazille Banks

2/6/2015 03:34:31 am

Everybody doesnt cheat and lie, and to say that "Cheaters always accuse people of cheating, and liars always accuse people of lying" would be an inept perception of society. Everybody is different, and to evoke this concept, which makes everyone seem the same, would be completely callous. For example, just because a man cheated on his wife, doesnt mean the wife cheated on him because she acuused him of it. Furthermore, if someone accused a person of lying, it doesnt mean they're lying. In fact the may just be telling the truth, which will be quite salient once the liar is caught. Therefore, the validity of this quote is questionable because you cant convict everyone for someone else's crimes.

Michaela Johnson

2/6/2015 11:27:00 am

I disagree with Bazille. I do not believe that the quote is saying any person that accuses another of cheating or lying is a cheater themselves. I believe it is stating that the people who are cheating or lying are quick to accuse others since they are doing the same thing.

Kyshawna Thomas

2/6/2015 01:17:07 pm

I agree with Bazille because everyone is not the same and won't do the same as the others. Just because someone is a cheater or a liar doesn't mean they will accuse others of doing so.

Destiny King 4th

2/6/2015 03:34:43 am

I absolutely agree with this qoute with its clear that liars do accuse others of lying so they won't look bad on themselves. It's like a person denying their problem or something they messed so they won't have to suffer or do any consequences . Some people lie and cheat on purpose but in reality it's apart of being human. Everyone has done it before at some point

Taylor

2/6/2015 04:21:00 am

I agree with the quote because I have had a personal encounter with cheaters and liars. Cheaters and liars are the same, both are bad things to do especially if you are hurting or taking away from another individual. Both Cheaters accuse others of cheating to distract the person they are accusing from what they really have going on, and vice versa with liars. They feel that if they put the blame on someone else they are less guilty.

Dvarius

I don't agree cheaters always try to accuse another person is cheating because a cheater sometimes would try to hide it but i do agree liars always accuse another person of lying because that's what liars do

Marqueshia

2/7/2015 01:18:56 am

I agree cheaters do tend to accuse the next person of cheating due to the fact their trying to cover themselves. They tell lies after lies so many lines they have to back a lie up with a lie.

kyra castle

I agree because a liar knows when another person is lying and also a cheater knows when another person is cheating because they know the game so they know how it works.

LaDalvin Wilson

2/6/2015 06:31:58 am

I disagree because not all cheaters are liars and do not accuse others. Some cheaters keep it real with others

Taylor Dilworth

2/6/2015 06:44:20 am

This Is True Because It Really Takes One To Know One . If Someone Is Quick To Accuse Someone Else Of Lying Or Cheating Then They Are most Likely The Ones Doing It As Well. In Order For Someone To Knoe A Liar Or A Cheater Then They Must Have Experience With The Situation

Michaela Johnson

2/6/2015 11:22:42 am

I agree with Taylor. The only way a person can call someone else of their defiance is if they have defied something themselves.

Jasmin Mallory

2/6/2015 10:49:52 am

I agree with this quote because it is so true. I honestly believe that because they are guilty. When you pr guilty you seem to start to blame others

Eric Sims

2/6/2015 10:51:56 am

I agree with the quote because most likely those that accuse people of cheating or lying have been through this situation or a much similiar situation. With this being said the accuser may feel that because they've done something similiar to what the person being accused has before that they are cheating or lying. They may feel that the persons actions and reactions determine the outcome.

Kenneth Atkins

2/6/2015 03:49:00 pm

He's right liers try an cover the lie with another lie or pass the blame to you because they can respect you enough to own up to there mistakes.

Eric Sims

2/6/2015 10:54:01 am

I agree with Taylor because it does take one to know one meaning that they have been in similiar situations.

Michaela Johnson

2/6/2015 11:20:41 am

I agree with the statement. A cliche often hear is that real recognizes real. That is because it takes a real person to recognize the characteristics and qualities of another real person because they themselves posses those qualities. The same goes for cheaters and liars. Since they posses those qualities it's easy to spot the others out since they are doing the exact same thing.

Dondre Irvin

2/6/2015 11:31:12 am

I agree completely with the quote "cheaters always accuse people of cheating and liars always accuse people of lying." I believe that if someone is a cheater or a liar that their conscious eats at them and causes them to believe that someone is always doing wrong because they are. They know that they aren't worthy of an honest or faithful person so they don't believe they could have someone like that. However, I feel that someone can accuse somebody of being a liar or a cheater without being one themselves. They may have had previous experiences that are similar to one they're in now and feel the outcome will be the same and find someone to be a liar or a cheater.

Kyshawna Thomas

2/6/2015 01:15:21 pm

I disagree with the quote, because everybody who cheats doesn't accuse others or cheating and vice versa for liars. Those who aren't cheaters can still accuse others of cheating. Always seems to be an overstatement because everyone isn't the same and doesn't have the same mindset. Cheaters will cheat and liars will lie, but that doesn't mean they will accuse others of doing the same.

SHANNON SIMPSON 2nd period

2/6/2015 03:30:45 pm

They just don't want to be seen by themselves as those type of people I agree, the reason why liars and cheaters always accuse others of lying and cheating is simply for one reason misery loves company. To save themselves, if they can twist the issue like it's your fault, they get away. I think they're trying to make themselves feel less guilty because they are doing it and they know they shouldn't.

Kenneth Atkins

2/6/2015 03:35:41 pm

It's true because when you're doing something wrong for instance lying or cheating you tend to blame someone else for your actions.

carvellion horn 4th

2/6/2015 03:59:54 pm

This statement is not true because someone that accuses another of cheating is not always the cheater or the one that is cheating. On the other hand people who accuses someone else of lying is a liar. The reason for me saying that is everybody lies no matter how faith or trusting. The only way you can truly believe someone is that they have enough proof to show that they were telling the truth or unless you were will them. Someone who thinks the world is always cheating him is right. He is missing that wonderful feeling of trust in someone or something-Eric Hoffer.
