Omission Lying is more like Creative Lying.

You're lying BUT your not really lying.

Not Lying 101.

A more advanced 201 or 301 level perhaps.

Really good lying gets on up into Masters . . . PhD . . . and beyond!!!!

When i was growing up omission was exactly the same as lying.

I consider it so and deceitful.

Something could be left out because the person didn't think it was important. No harm intended. To purposely leave something out because you know it will cause a problem to tell the whole truth, is lying IMO.

Something could also be left out to avoid hurting someone's feelings.

I think it depends on the questions asked.

An omission is not a lie. A lie is a deliberate misstatement of fact. An omission is keeping facts private and everyone has the right against self incrimination.

Exactly....like I didn't tell my husband that I hit a jackpot last month because I didn't want to hurt his feelings when he found out I was spending it all on me.

something could also be left out due to safety reasons.

I'm not one of those people who run and tell friends nasty things that people say about them, knowing it is hurtful. I never understand that.
