I hate to say it, but that's what you get for seeking help from a TV psychologist. You're insane if you think a TV show is there to help you.
Victim-blaming is cool, sometimes? Just not when its a PC issue. What the actual fuck?

I wouldn't be so quick to discount the technology's potential. While the commercial operation you cited is probably dubious at best, and while it may be true that the current state of the technology is as unreliable as you say for the purposes of credibility assessment, I still believe the future of fMRI research holds incredible potential. Keep in mind that as far back as 2011, researchers succeeded in reconstructin…

If by "victim blaming", you mean "criticizing someone for taking a stupid action that a reasonable person could assume would end badly".
Its her fault she got raped, she wore a SHORT SKIRT.

He's not a Psychologist or any sort of a doctor at all. Just another modern day Jerry Springer act. In a real polygraph exam a baseline is established and you review all the questions "before" the test is run so that there is no surprise when they are asked the second time. Even then the nature of the questions can elicit a measurable response. The best advice I ever got from a polygraph examiner was to never volunta…
I believe he was being sincere. If you think about it, if the best it can do is simply not provide evidence against you. The worst it can do is make you look guilty, whether you are or not. That's a pretty bad deal for you.

No. You will be charged with "possession of a controlled substance" in the UK even if the substance was not a controlled substance just so long as they can demonstrate you thought it was. E.g. the cops can set up a "drug deal" to sell you cocaine, sell you talcum powder and then arrest you for buying it, so long as they can demonstrate you think it is cocaine - such as saying "here's that cocaine you wanted".
Same is US, if you sell fake drugs you will be prosecuted as if you sold those drugs.
