talk about "their" truth, as Farrah has in her tweet about tonights final, as she will apparently be revealing "her" truth about what happened soon. "Her" truth isn't actually "the truth", just her version of what happened which isn't the same thing at all.

The definition of truth is - that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality.

Someone telling us their truth (Farrah, Jenna,Janice, Gary Busey) often doesn't relate to fact or reality!

There are lots of well paid shrinks in the US telling all of these eccentric Americans in therapy that as long as they tell "their" truth it will all be fine. Annoying!

Ahhh but is our own truth not the only truth we can truly tell? Could all that we see not merely be a dream within a dream? Can reality truly be perceived the same by all of us and how would we know? Do I exist? I know I must because I am capable of questioning it... Cogito Ergo Sum... And that is my truth, but what of yours?

I imagine that's why Farrah uses it

It's not just Americans. That prat Marc O'Neill was always going about how he always told the truth (as did Helen Wood and others). It amounts to the same thing. It was even a bit worse because Marc etc seemed to claim that 'truth' was some discoverable entity that they had unique access to, given their special insight, instead of it being just their biased point of view whereas at least the Americans qualify it with 'my truth'.

It's self-serving propaganda and utter bull.

No one says 'I don't speak the truth', or 'this is my dishonesty' so it hardly amounts to a special virtue.

It isn't just Americans. I am struggling to be completely convinced by what I am reading as Michelle's truth and I started from a perspective initially of liking her very much and being worried she had been cut and disfigured by glass fragments from either Aislene or Farrah's glass.

As somebody else wrote on another thread.

Where there's blame there's a claim! Sigh!

The ignorance some display so readily....

Yes of course any one American represents all 300 million. Guess we aren't the only country breeding stupidity...

You have my sympathy, Vesna. Xenophobia seems to be - more than just acceptable - almost required in DSBB this year. It's quite astonishing the ignorance and blasé generalisations pouring out of people's fingertips.
