[IDIOTSSS]

Ok so basically the people who started this website are a bunch of criminals that failed their polygraph tests and decided to start this website to help other criminals pass their tests... good job guys.

And c'mon you guys aren't stupid, you must know that the FBI reads this stuff... so you're basicaly helping them by showing the FBI how you criminals get around their tests, and in doing so, you help them modify the tests and make them more effective. Which, in the end, totally defeats the perpose of the website.

As the daughter of a polygrapher i can wholeheartedly say, thank you for making my dads job easier, because he looks at this website every day and reads all of this. As a result, he is one of the best polygrahers at his work. And he only just started doing polygraph like five years ago.

You guys make me laugh.

-anonymous... obviously...

Cute.

Thanks for labeling me, someone you don't know as a criminal.  I would offer up my background to you to verify, but you sound a bit to childish to appropriately complete such an indepth task.

Thank your dad for his efforts and misdirection.

Wrong on both counts. The people who started this website (I'm one of them) told the truth during pre-employment polygraph examinations and were falsely accused of deception by their polygraphers. After researching polygraphy and learning that it is junk science, we started this website to help expose and end waste, fraud, and abuse associated with the use of lie detectors. You can read about my experience with the polygraph here.

AntiPolygraph.org provides information about polygraph countermeasures to provide truthful persons with a means of reducing the all-too-real risk of a false positive outcome. Unlike CQT polygraphy, which depends on the examinee being ignorant of polygraph procedure, polygraph countermeasures do not depend on polygrapher ignorance of countermeasure techniques.

All polygraphers are welcome not only to read this website, but also to participate in the discussions on this message board.

Dear Idiotsss,

This website is open to all posters.  The contents are rarely edited or deleted.  Most deletions are in regard to offensive language.  Opposing thoughts and views, especially well thought out arguments and presentations, are welcomed and debated.

I challenge anyone to find a website that offers more views both pro and con of polygraph usage.

You are correct that many polygraph examiners read this website for its honest comments and content.  Many of them post comments.  This website's honesty is memorialized by the vast, well organized library concerning polygraph usage.

I am happy that you are proud of your father.  No one here has attacked him as a person.

My reputation and integrity was attacked by a polygraph examiner who knew nothing about me and ultimately I proved his analysis wrong.

Do I hate polygraph operators?  I do not.  I strongly disagree with the claims of polygraph users about its "scientific merit."   I am always perplexed as to why the existence of this website upsets them so if they can easily detect countermeasures.

Regards, Happy Turkey Day.

My thoughts go out to all of the Armed Forces who are willing to give their lives so I may freely express my thoughts and not be censored by the governement.  Thank you is not enough.

1) We're the idiots?

2) Nice to know one can become a master polygrapher after only 5 years.  Beats going to Jedi school I guess.

Best,

If your father is so confident, perhaps he should consider accepting Drew Richardson's Countermeasure Challenge

As the saying goes, "put up, or shut up."

Either step up to the mike or hush.

Out of all the responses to your initial post, this is the one you choose to step up and answer?

I believe that speaks volumes.

Just for the sake of your education, I will add my experience to this thread. The FBI accused me of being a drug dealer after meeting me 2 hours earlier. As it happens, I have never sold drugs. You can read my experience here http://www.antipolygraph.org/statements/statement-026.shtml.

Sarcasm never works when you have to explain it, ya know...

Let's try again, okay?

I could learn how to "read minds" by studying for decades with Yoda and Obi-wan, or I can attend a 15-week crash course and become an expert mind reader/polygrapher.  

Now, how about you answer some of the other people's questions?
