Polygraphs have sparked a fierce debate for at least a century.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am not opposed to the limited use of polygraphs in a case where a person is suspected of wrongdoing. But widespread use of the polygraph as a screening tool goes far beyond what is acceptable.
Polygraphs are not allowed as evidence in most U.S. courts, but they're routinely used in police investigations, and the Defense Department relies heavily on them for security screening.
The passionate controversies of one era are viewed as sterile preoccupations by another, for knowledge alters what we seek as well as what we find.
I'm willing to take a polygraph test to prove that I'm happy about Kahlon's return to politics. He's a good man, a man who cares. It's good to have people like that in politics, I have no problem with that.
Analysis is like a lobotomy. Who wants to have all their edges shaved off?
If we're going to have debates, let's have real debates.
But hey, controversy - well, it hasn't hurt me in 50 years.
Science moves fastest when there's plenty of debate and controversy.
There's always merit to having a debate.
Polygraph tests are 20th-century witchcraft.
