Wuzafuzz,

Half-baked second-hand advice is sufficient.  Countermeasuring a polygraph exam is so trivial there's no reason to buy new advice.  With regard to your comparison of George to Gelb, the primary flaw in your thinking is that you fail to note that George has not advertised any credentials, whereas apparently Mr. Gelb appropriately or inappropriately has...

Wow, another anonymous "expert".  Is there some reason why they all seem to have this need to give half baked second hand advice?   George has quite a few assitants these days.  Of course  George's credentials are as bogus as Gelb's PHD - As Batman observed - just failing your test doesn't make you much of an expert.  Evidently George has never had the guts to try any of the things he advises others to do.

When I first read the book, I sat in front of the mirror and tried pinching my checks, and biting my tongue..Looked pretty funny even made myself laugh...I skipped all that and
just over reacted on the control questions, passed like a charm. Since then I have several friends pass the same way,
"remember keep it simple stupid". Remember that a control question is a question that most people would lie to. Example;
Is there anything in your past that you would lie to me about today? Because you are being tested for "TRUTH", your answer will alaways be No...Everyone has something they would lie about or not want to devulge to another person..Your job is to show him just that.

Excellent observation Polyman2002!  I am impressed.  I stand corrected for a very basic grammatical error.  I am glad to inspire you to post something informative which added to my knowledge and I respect you for it. Please continue on your fine trend and add some substance to your one-liner postings.  Everyone here will converse on a scientific, philosophical, and logical level consistant with the argument and evidence that you bring to the discussion.  While Degrees are not about absolute knowledge, they do represent the ability and persistence to reach a goal.

I can take constructive criticism, can you?

I find it refreshing that you take extreme indignation concerning my spelling but not my ideas.  I made sure that I typed more slowly this time so you will not have to use your precious intellect to check my spelling.  I am far more interested in comprehending the ideas that others share with me.  I find it far more satisfying than (did I use it right that time?) picking apart spelling or grammatical typos or errors.

I argue ideas, you argue semantics.  Anyone can spend their time in dictionaries, I like to spend my time sharing ideas with other people.  You ought to try it sometime.  You obviously seem capable, why not leave the "trashtalk" and communicate some logical thoughts.

Fair Chance,

Don't you mean higher "Than" 5th grade.  I wouldn't talk about anybody's education level  when you write a sentence like "higher "then" 5th grade."  Maybe an investigation needs to be conducted in reference to you even completing elementary school.  Please don't tell me you are a college graduate. Better still, if you must, don't mention the college by name.  :P

All
I feel slighted.
Before reading this thread, I just left the longest post of my short career.  I did not know I was supposed to look like a freshly kicked three legged dog.
Maybe the reason this topic has received no respect from anyone is that it has been many times patently silly.
Is this post short enough to show my abject misery over polygraph's eventual demise?
I promise to be scared later.....

I agree, and I suppose it's not surprising that since the release of the NAS report on 8 October 2002, lacking a rational argument, frightened minds in the polygraph community are lashing out with ad hominem one-liners.

ROTFLMAO!
You are certainly on a roll, aren't you!  

KEEP IT UP!!

I admit some perverse pleasure in being witness to this sad attempt of the pro-polygraphers to deter us from our focus on the important issues and debates.

I need to lie 2,

Pinch your cheeks right before you tell the lie.  Isn't that what the book suggests?

Watch Polyman admit that countermeasures can fool the polygraph.

Hmm...notice the sudden influx of one-liner polygraph proponents to the message board?  The change in the nature of the postings after the NAS report is remarkable.  No debate, no discussion.  Just the lowbrow one-liners.

You know what I think?

They're scared as hell.

Dear Polyman2002 (alias little "george" 's twin brother),

You do bring comic relief to the site.  Your stinging one-liners against those who do not believe in polygraphs confirms my belief that you have not graduated from high school.  You have made reference to "the book" so I am happy to realize that you can read (and thus assume you do have a higher then fifth grade education).  Try reading "the book" for comprehension this time and see if you can understand the proper conclusion to your own question.

I believe, if nothing else, this website can claim credit for improving your typing skills.  Keep trying, maybe you can put more then three sentences together in one post.
