What if I die in a plane crash.?
What if I find out I have a rich uncle somewhere whom I knew nothing about, and he left me 20 million dollars?
What if they stop making the Fear Factor series?
What if a black female wins the next presidential election?
.
before you die let's become buddy's so I can get some of that cash to buy my new H2.
Nothing would bum me out more in life if they stop making Fear Factor, I love watching dumb people do stupid things for pocket change, The women are fun to watch also (know what I mean?)
I would not have a problem if Condi ran for President, she would have my vote. I would rather her than Hillary.
Back on subject I just hate the percentage so we will have to agree to disagree.......

The point is, the odds are so small that playing with your own head--or possibly being disqualified when a polygrapher discovers your manipulations--just doesn't make attempted countermeaures worth worrying about.

- Feb 12, 2005, 02:22 AMNunyun, I acknowledge the relative merits of your last post when compared with some of your previous posts. Thank you. Of course I would never advocate using a polygraph as the sole determinant of assessing any job applicant. It's a great tool, and highly effective, but it is not perfect. I do think that you and many other fearful worriers concentrate too much on the very rare false positive in polygraph, though. If you still have doubts about that, please refer to my post in response to very senior user Gino Scalabrini--I've now cut and paste it into several different threads on this forum, and I've grown weary of doing so. It's got some great information. If you feel too lazy to look for it, let me know, and I'll store up enough motivation to cut and paste it ONE MORE TIME.

- Feb 12, 2005, 02:18 AMVery well, point taken, I don't care as I am all done with Poly's and already fighting the good fight in the ghetto.
The fact of the matter is that CM's can influence a poly. Weather they are done correctly or not could be argued many times over, I just will hold firm in the fact that there are still too many times that good people are being falsley accused of lying when they are not and we need all the help out here we can get.
I have said before and will say again that although I deplore those who use this information to beat the system I think that poly's should be used in conjunction with a good thorough (sp?) BI, not as a sole determining factor in the hiring process.
Believe it or not we are on the same side I just disagree with SOME of your points but I know you are doing the best you can with what you have and for every false +. You do grab 10 who should not be coming to my back while drugs or cash are sitting on the table waiting to be bagged up for evidence.

- Feb 12, 2005, 01:56 AMNunyun, you need to read some of my other posts if you really believe all that false positive b.s.
So, other than being totally freaked out by what he read on this site and what you told him, was there a relative issue that your friend needed to lie about and attempt to overcome through countermeasures?
See, here's the plain truth: If your friend had nothing to hide on the relevant issues, then chances are over 90% that he would pass, regardless of whether he used those silly countermeasures or not. It's like taking a handful of vitamins when you already are getting a good diet--it does nothing for you exept maybe a placebo effect of some sort. AND, if you aren't getting a decent diet, vitamins won't make up the difference. Sounds to me like your friend was living on a decent diet of integrity and therefore passed the exam, which had nothing to do with his trying to use countermeasures that, even if they worked at all, would require much training on the machine to use effectively.
And no, I don't need to "get into it" with anyone. After awhile I will tire of the tiring people on this site and I'll leave you all to continue dispensing your placebo to people who are unnecessarily worried about a process that really works. I've provided some excellent field study research in other posts, and I'm tired of cutting and pasting it, so go look for it yourself.
Oh, and I'm not interesting in becoming a senior user. Sounds like a geriatric addict.

- Feb 11, 2005, 11:40 PM You are doing very well at racking up those post to reach a new level responding to everything you can. Fact is not everyone will come back if they passed, as the site gave the info, they used it, passed and moved on. Case in point a good friend had a poly the other day for an agency. He read this site I talked to him about what the examiner would do and he followed the advice given. He called today to state the exam went exactly as posted in TLBTLD and as I told him it would. He passed....nothing more nothing less. He is a good kid who is well aware of false +'s and also had a mutual friend who was a victim of this. We are not drug dealers nor had any deep dark secrets to hide but when you see one friend get screwed you learn from his mistake so that it does not happen to you.
Anal, I am not looking to get into it with you. I see your point and actually don't mind your profession. As Dimas stated the Poly is a good tool I just can't live with the percentage of false + any more than arresting a slug when I am not sure if he really did the crime without a doubt in my mind otherwise known as PC which I gather in my stop and further INVESTIGATION before I hook him up.
Either way keep posting you'll be a "very senior user" in no time

- Feb 11, 2005, 04:02 PMSo what happened, Calicoast? Did you take the poly yet? It's been weeks since you were supposed to take it. We're all in suspense here. If you felt the need to use countermeasures on your first poly, which questions did you actually lie to? These bearers of gloom and doom have apparently gotten to you so you felt you must mess with the polygraph exam to pass, so there must be some serious skeletons rattling around in your closet that you wanted to hide.
If you did well, you would have been on here to gloat and brag, I'm sure. If you passed, you, George and Company would be on here claiming that the countermeasures you planned on using worked. And of course if you failed, George and Company would be telling you that you just did it all wrong. After all, they are exactly like the staunch pro-polygraph people--if the process didn't work, they say it was just done wrong, whereas if it appeared to work, they raise a big fuss over it like relatives of a mother who has just given birth. All very amusing to me, you see. So which is it, Calicoast?

- Jan 11, 2005, 02:27 AMalright, thank you for the input. I really appreciate it.
I just want to make sure that if i attempt this method that i am doing it right. right now i found out that i have a little sharp point on the back of my tooth around where the wisdom tooth area is, i have found that i can slide my tongue into that part of my mouth with out any movement detection what so ever, i bite down to the point where i can feel my eyes start to water if i continue biting. So i am hoping that i am off to the right start and that i am applying this method correctly.
however i think that it is really sad that i have to resort to this method, what ever happened to the saying "the truth will set you free"? thank you for your advise nunyun, and george you both have been a great help, i appreciate it very much.
