    There's so much in the world, to have an informed opinion on everything would be a full time job. If there is something your passionate about, inform yourself, and then be an ambassador for your passion.

I somehow didn't see this part the first read through although I'm thinking it was added later and it's such a perfect way to phrase it. There is no shame in saying I don't know and that topic doesn't interest me... So why do people lie ? It's much better than the alternative of saying something that makes no sense in an attempt to fit in. That almost always blows up in your face.

Yeah. I added it in to kind of wrap up my point. As to why people lie? I dunno. Ego, the desire for acceptance, because they can. :)
