    That also goes for "Everybody is talking about it.", "Everyone is watching it." etc.

    Yes but I think what they mean when they say that is that a lot of people do it so is not unusual at all.  I know I try not to lie but sometimes I have when I didn't think they could handle the truth.  Its like Bible tells us we are all sinful - no one is without sin of one kind or other.  So not good to get on our high horses and judge others or to expect perfection from any person.  Because by doing that we just condemn ourselves.

      I don't know why, I guess I'll have to ask everyone to see if it's just something that people say.
