Could you keep a secret?

[Fierce_LiNk]

I popped around to my neighbour's place a minute or two ago, and one of them mentioned something that they had heard on the radio, regarding MI5 and MI6 recruiting for people using the radio.

 

I wasn't paying much attention to this, so I don't know the full details, but then we discussed the idea of actually having a high security level and whether we could actually do it or not.

 

The question is: Could you keep a secret? Would you be able to comfortably keep something away from the people you know? Would you even trust yourself to do this kind of work?

 

Discuss. Can you keep a secret?

[Slaggis]

Of course. I mean keeping a secret is pretty easy isn't? Though saying that I usually forget them so I'd probably be no good anyway

[Tellyn]

I'm not sure if I could do it. I'd crack at some point, and if ever I was tortured, I would surely give in.

[Shorty]

I can keep a secret Got a few hefty ones stored up.

 

I've been told a lot of secrets in my time though, where the person says "you can't tell x I told you this because I promised to keep it a secret, but...", and because of that I don't really trust anyone with secrets :/

[Strider]

I'm useless at keeping secrets, they eat away at me

[DanielTimothy]

I'm pretty good with them, I get flattered that people trust me with things then don't tell anyone out of respect of that.

[The Bard]

I'm pretty well practiced at keeping secrets. Not for other people though, so I don't know how that would work. Depends on how spiteful I was feeling at the time.

I noticed something on Yahoo a few days ago how they were criticising the James Bond movies because a load of bell ends were applying to be spies.

 

As for the secret shizzle, yeah. I'm pr0 at keeping stuff on the downlow.

In my normal day life i'm good at keeping secrets! when somone tells me something and tells me to keep it secret i will definately do it as i don't want to break someones trust in me. although i sometimes forget what they hav told me...

 

I can't keep my own secrets however!

 

If i was in a government position and i had to keep a secret from the whole country and my family i don't think i would be able to do it and if i got caught and put under torture i reckon i would crack to easily..i'd be useless!

 

Another situation is if i was a priest who have to do confessions! if someone came in and told me they have murdered someone, i don't think i'd be able to keep that a secret and would hvae to giv up my priesthood.

 

 

I suppose it depends on what the secret someone tells me is.

I''m very good at keeping secrets - I act as (a not always voluntary) confidant to several friends at school, at times, and I only ever tell people who will have negative effects prevented by them knowing.

 

Subtlety and secrecy are two things I specialise in - you need to if you're the head of a militant organisation!

[Cube]

I think I could do it fairly well.

[AshMat]

I could keep a secret, but under torture i'd bawl like a baby.

[Guest Stefkov]

I could, definitely. Most probably I will forget it a few hours later though.

Actually, there is this secret, some guy's girlfriend bought him a girlish looking bag as a joke, hoping he would take it back. He didn't, and he doesn't know it was a joke. Well now it's not a secret.

[Kurtle Squad]

I could keep a secret, but under torture i'd bawl like a baby.

Ditto:blank:

[Tyson]

I can keep a secret, but only when I'm specifically told it's a secret. If someone tells me something as a secret in a casual way, depending on what it is I would likely tell someone.

[Gizmo]

I could keep a secret, but under torture i'd bawl like a baby.

 

Yeah, this:shakehead

[DomJcg]

depends on the secret and the person surely?

[Supergrunch]

I could probably keep a secret, depending on how important it was. I'd get terribly worried that I'd be unable to keep it though.

 

Edit: Unless tortured.

[Dyson]

I'm no Jack Bauer

[jayseven]

You guys all suck and have already failed. You're supposed to say "What secrets? I have no idea what you are talking about."

[Anolis E]

I can when awake, but I apparently talk (or rather mumble) in my sleep. So probably not.

[Blackfox]

I got 8.. Strange. And I' half asleep..

[Jimbob]

Got 7/8 right, so i seem to have a great memory. I can keep secrets and i don't give in under pressure.
