Polygraph Testing

[Neil]

God help us if polygraph test results are ever admissible in our courts.  Too many variables.

Neil  you could say God Help us as they are used by the Probation Services for sex offenders

I know, I did find this rather suprising.  I also heard that they were used by a Police force, although I forget which one.  I know that I would never take one if I were innocent, I would be terrified that the test would come out wrong.  Anyway I'm off to Wimbledon now, once I've done a quick sun dance.  Have a good day.

Hi Neil  lucky you and I am off to Tesco,s

[nugnug]

thats ok no problem.

i except the test may not be infallible

but just because something isnt infallible doesent mean it useless

fingerprint evidence isnt infallible but i don't hear anyone saying it shouldent be admissible

Hi egap1 hope jammy dodgy is not one of the old guys who knocks me off my feet with his trolley then glares at me as I struggle to my feet as if I should not be in Tesco,s don,t think he will shop at all probably gets somebody else to do it

You seem to misunderstand exact semantics. Infallible means it may have discernable faults which people may, or may not be aware of. Useless means exactly that...........it has no practical use.
There is a world of difference.

Hi nugnug  I accept and respect your views they maybe different from others but it does not mean you are not allowed to express them.  Expression in the English language is perceived rather differently from person to person and we are allowed to express ourselves in the way that we are comfortable with.  I understand your posts and I am always happy to respond to them in a manner which is not insulting or patronizing

susan, hi. Just to give my support to your last post. It's so good that we can all express some very differing opinions yet still remain friends, isn't it?

[susan]

Hi april1 nothing wrong with us all having different opinions that is human nature it is the manner that some express them that I object to

Well put,Susan.

Hi Marie 27

You tease.  Your post 51 made out you didn't get it .  You obviously do, I think.

There is no fooling you is there Egap?

Susan, exactly so. I hear you. I concur.

Hohoho ladies: April1, Lookout and Susan Ingham.  I wish you had been around when I first joined.  Bob told me one of my very early posts was unsubstantiated rubbish and nugnug told me one was bollocks.  NGB1066 was my knight in shining armour.    (Bob and nugnug no offence taken) 

I do however agree with your sentiments but as per my post to Grahame the other day it's not easy when forums are self-regulated and we all have different interpretations re what is acceptable etc.

DEAR Egap 1, I would love to know how you responded. Would be very surprised if it didn't fall within the boundries of courtesty but I acknowledge what you mean about the difficulties regarding different interpretations.

[susan]

Hi egap1  I would not worry too much what people think about anything most members think my posts are rubbish as I wont venture into the controversial area as that is my nature so my posts are quite weak and without substance but I am enjoying myself and have nice friends on the forum and ngb is my knight in shining armour as well.  I did not quite agree with your post to Grahame but you are entitled to your views and I always will respect that. even if I like old men with bushy grey eyebrows
