  1. Yep, and Trump sometimes does a good job of administering these little tidbits of sarcasm. Sometimes he goes overboard, but this one was pretty good. It's refreshing when a guy verbally hits back when insulted, instead of weaponizing the NSA to secretly wiretap you and your family in the same fashion as dictators such as Kim Jong-un.
  2. I agree they can be useful...at times, and I also know that they can be harmful...therefore should never be used other than a novelty item. I actually have a signed and notarized document that says I will not submit to a polygraph test. I did this so that if the situation ever arose where I was asked to prove my innocence, it won't look like I'm guilty for refusing to submit to one. Since I lost it in the flood, I guess I better draw me up another one.
  3. Scientific standards says that you eliminate extraneous variables before concluding a cause-effect relationship. This has not been done by any stretch of the imagination...and is therefore outside of the scientific standards. Then set up a meeting and I will run my little single digit experiment. Even though I don't gamble, I would be willing to bet any amount of money (or non-monetary/bragging rights) that your lie detector/operator cannot "guess" my number. Would you like to take that challenge? BTW, I've done this twice, and the machine/operator has failed to guess my number both times. (Different machines/operators and different times.)
  4. My "thinking outside the box" regarding the environment is simply following standard scientific practices. Failure to follows these practices is what the Man-Made Global Warming nazis practice. And you would get just as good results practicing Phrenology.
  5. They are not right more often than not. And they should never be used by law enforcement, or for any other use. I've read the research. I wrote a whole paper on them in college after doing extensive research. And I know for a fact they do not work. You can flip a coin and get just as good results. If you don't believe, read up a little on the subject. If you would like entertainment value with your research, Penn & Teller did a pretty good piece on them in their HBO series of shows called "Bullshit".
  6. Wow, you really need to read up on the vast research material on polygraphs. The overwhelming and irrefutable evidence is that they do not work. Not only do they not work, they very often render the opposite results. That is, really good liars can be shown to be telling the truth, while innocent victims can be shown to be telling lies. If you would like me to demonstrate the reliability of these machines, I would be happy to do so...and you could do it too. Write down a single-digit number on a piece of paper. Then let the operator ask you any questions he wants, but has to ask if you wrote down number _ (each single digit number from 0-9). You answer no to each number, therefore, telling a lie at least one time. If the machine can actually tell when you are lying, the operator will be able to decipher which number you wrote down. I bet he can't. And this is just a silly little test to illustrate the capabilities of a machine that cannot do what it purports to do. But don't take my word for it. Please, please do some research. The material is readily available and overwhelmingly irrefutable.
  7. What is a polygraph going to determine...who is the better liar?
  8. I bet you think the story is true because nowhere in the headlines does it say that this was a fake story, and we all know that is as far as you read. But you are correct, nothing has changed. Liberals keep creating and spreading fake news (lies) in an attempt to paint non-Liberals, especially White males, in a disparaging light. They keep getting caught in the act, but like soulless cowards keep marching to the drum of their Liberal gods. So yeah, nothing has changed.
  9. Shouldn't Politifact do a fact check on themselves. That site is so biased I can feel brain cells dying just clicking on the link. I can't believe you try to subject us to that propaganda. I guess the point you are trying to make is that you are incapable of discerning real news from very, very fake news.
  10. You are precisely the reason why we can't have a debate on this forum. Why would anybody attempt a civil conversation when we know you are lurking to bring the conversation down to your 3rd grade level. I actually thought for a while that you were just playing the fool. It is obvious that I was wrong. Do you think this forum would be better or worse without your input? Serious question. Let's see if you can give a serious answer.
  11. Someone would have to spend an inordinate amount of time on this message board to notice...just saying. Why do you even attempt to trash talk? You are just so bad at it. Stick with "grab um", at least that one was funny the first 10,000 times you said it. Maybe resuscitate the "go feed your cats" line. That also typifies and clearly displays the intelligence level of the poster. Attempting the high-brow subtle jabs is just not you...which is clear to pretty much everyone.
  12. Would you like to go through the list of women that have accused Bill of sexual harassment and even rape? Would you dare ask any one of them if they were disrespected by ol' Wild Bill? And Bill looked the American people in the eye and told a blatant lie. He disrespected all Americans. And all you have is the unsubstantiated lies fed to you by your puppet masters. Your fake outrage is not fueled by one's actions, but by the ideology one holds. That makes you a hypocrite of highest order. I know, I know, we are all just racist and you are the morally and intellectually superior one. We know the game. One of these days you might come to reality while you're kicked back on the porch of your $300,000.00 home condescendingly gazing at your brother toiling to fix the leaking roof leak of his $30,000.00 home.
  13. Your analysis skills have failed you once again.
  14. But Bill did a lot more than what you are outraged at Trump for. Such fake and phoney outrage. You should be ashamed. And you should be thankful to Newt Gingrinch for stifling Bill's wild spending agenda.
  15. I never claimed to be. You made the statement that FoxNews is controlling people. And I just eluded to the obvious...that you are wrong, then posed the question of who was controlling you. In what crazy mixed-up world do you think that qualifies me to think I'm a journalist? Are you currently in control of your faculties. The rails don't seem to be in front of you, although it is awfully hard to tell with you on a continual basis.
  16. How so? Please, don't run for once and defend your statements. Bye-bye.
  17. I encourage you to give your analysis, and always have. History has shown you won't. Please, please, please, open the gates of hate and tell us what you really think.
  18. So no comment? And no one from the non-Liberal side tries to stifle debate. You can bring it up, along with any other news story. We will just hammer your analysis (which is sure to be blatantly bias) if you offer one. But I really don't see you giving a detailed analysis. I would be surprised if you even read the article.
  19. As usual, you are wrong...bigly. But that comes as no surprise to anyone. I guess since you can't answer the question you have to resort to the personal attacks then play the victim card. That is such a worn out tactic, and is just laughable. But I will play along.
  20. So he's stealing the American taxpayer blind, but drops about 100 places on the personal wealth scale. You need to straightened out your lies better. Your hate is just making you look more foolish.
  21. Is that an intentionally naive statement? So in your mind only White folks are being controlled. Is that your contention?
  22. Doesn't this prove that your previous allegation of Trump stealing the American taxpayer blind was a blatant lie? Thanks for confirming what we already knew.
  23. Are you be controlled by FoxNews? After all, you must be a regular watcher to render such an informed analysis. If you think others are being controlled, please tell us who your master(s) are. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, Al Jezeera, BET, The Food Network, CMT? Inquiring minds want to know.
  24. You're welcome. I guess all you need was a little motivation. It's not like that same link has been posted 15+ times on this board already. One quick little Bing or Google search would have given this information in just a few seconds.
