  1. Been There - remember the "voice" lie detector? by Seth+Finkelstein · · Score: 3, Insightful · on The Eyes Have It
    The article says:
    "This is the first technology that allows lying to be measured or lying to be detected without any contact with the subject whatsoever instantaneously, in real time," said lead researcher James Levine, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "You don't need to hook them up to anything -- you don't need any sophisticated experts to analyze the data."
    Everyone seems to have forgotten Voice Stress Analysis which was once similarly hyped as real-time, no-contact, super-duper lie detection. And where is it now? In fact, it was better, since you could supposedly apply it to a tape-recording, and there's even VSA freeware you can run on your own PC (have fun).

    Remember, stress is a matter of the body, but a lie is a matter of the mind. They're correlated in many people, but by no means identical. Just think, do you know any smooth-talking liars (i.e. ones displaying minimal stress)?

    Our government listens to the people? hahahaha

    You mean the one that murdered the men, women and children at Waco and Ruby Ridge? Or the one that shot down twa flight 800 and covered it up? Or maybe the one that still arrests people for marijuana possesion in states that have decriminalized/legalized it for medical use? Umm, maybe you mean the one that invented the "incident" in the Gulf of Tonkin to drag us into the vietnam war? Or the one that let the FBI infiltrate protest groups in the '60s, subverting their rights to free speach? Wait, you mean the government that setup this phony war in Afghanistan, so we can build an oil pipline?

    You talk about the loss of rights under the constitution. You must not have read the PATRIOT act, which schreds what little there was left of the bill of rights. With its passage you lose the right to trial by jury, the right to be free from illegal searches and seisures, the right to confront your accusor in court, and the right to criticize the government.

    Heres an idea for you, turn off MSNBC/CNN/Fox News and look at some news sources that aren't run by and for the government propaganda machine.

    Personally, I hope to be ready when the rest of America wakes up and decides its time to throw off the chains we've put ourselves in.

    What I'm saying is that these extremists want us dead and our society destroyed. And there is absolutely nothing we can peacefully do, politically or otherwise, to change that. There is no reasoning with these extremists because their end goal is the complete and utter destruction of our (re: most average Americans') way of life.
    I suspect that this number is not as high as you think it is. I would compare it to the number of "Christians" who want to see all non-wasps killed (e.g., extremist KKK-type organizations). I would submit to you that the numbers you speak of are inflated in this day and age, because of United States and others' aggression (which you can read more about from links I provide below). So in response to "we can do nothing" etc., I would disagree. (1) We can try to remedy the wrongs we've done in the past, (2) We can make sure not to do them again in the future. I believe these 2 things alone can help quell the rising tide of Islamic fundamentalists who want to see us dead and hanging from posts.
    Oh, and as far as military action in the Middle East for centuries goes...don't forget war amongst the tribes, fueding warlords, etc, etc. It ins't just the West that's been fighting there.
    But that's irrelevant. What they do amongst themselves has nothing to do with justification for us fighting with them.
    If there were effective alternatives to forcefully protecting ourselves, then I'd love to hear them.
    Who says we have to use force at all? I personally think this whole scenario could have been avoided, had we not been conducting ourselves in such a horrid manner. To me, the only way to achieve security is to not give anyone a reason to do this again. We will never be able to squash everyone who wants to do harm to us. The only course of action is in not giving them the motivation.
    And just what is the West trying to accomplish in Afghanistan?
    Good question. Decide for yourself. But I strongly urge you to question the reasons the government and mainstream media are giving to you. Remember, they do not always tell you the truth. Sad fact of life. Suggested reading for this question, and the other issues surrounding the attacks (if you haven't read already, sorry if you have): I could go on...
    But, you can make it clear to other nations that a given government will not be allowed to exist if said government either turns a blind eye to terrorists operating in its borders or, even worse, endorses and supports terrorists.
    Like, say, Emmanuel Constant? I wish I had other examples to give... :-( Anyone else? Little help?

    heh. Perhaps they weren't really "our more radical elements"...it is common for agents provocateur, "strike breakers", and fun disinfo stuff like the Black Panther Coloring Book to be utilized in discrediting any dissent of the status quo. Many believe that the violence during the WTO event falls along similar lines.
