The Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937. It was the tallest and the longest suspension bridge in the world. It is about 9,000 feet long  nearly 2 miles. The original Golden Gate collapsed during an earthquake in 1906.

The Golden Gate is color red.  It was coated with the burnt red and orange shades of primer to protect from corrosive elements.

The Golden Gate Bridge, which finished at almost the same time has its own tunnel. The Funston Avenue Tunnel takes traffic approaching the bridge under the picturesque San Francisco Presidio.

Short Circuit

Darryl Yap directs historical revisionism movie MAID in Malacanang starring Cesar Montano, Ruffa Gutierrez and Christine Reyes.

Is this a typographical error? I thought the original story was MADE in Malacanang?

-Josefino Tabono Jr. - Not a real story. Fabricated yon. Siya pa?

Very True

 

Responding to Netizen's Comment

Netizen's Comment:  In the previous item you wrote about Lying ....  are truth and lies relative? Can someone tell a lie and the truth at the same time? Can withholding the truth be a form of lying?

Response: 

Lies are born from the truth, but the truth is not born from lies. 

Lies depend on the truth; truth does not depend on lies. Lies depend on the INTENT of the liar; truth does not depend on the person's INTENT. 

A lie cannot deceive unless it contains some element of truth to make it believable. Something cannot be true if it contains even the tiniest falsehood. 

It is often said that truth is relative but that is wrong. Lies are always relative to the truth and the truth never depends on lies.

Can someone tell a lie and the truth at the same time?

Yes ... you can. The most dangerous liars are the ones who think they are telling the truth.

So, yes, if you believe something to be true (which is actually a lie) you are lying by telling the truth.

Can withholding the truth be a form of lying?

Undisclosing some important intelligence reports and information falls more under the suppression of truth rather than the expression of untruth.

Both are designed to deceive, but withholding information makes secret the truth - it doesn't distort it like what lies do.

No wonder too many ships ... are SINKING.
