  • Agree to disagree, I suppose.

    Your basic assertion is that a poor person would have to change their ways due to circumstances brought-on by their stupidity, and this is false.

    The stupid lack the awareness to see the issue as having come from themselves, and therefore will not change; when you have no money, you pay for everything with bits of your life.

    So a person who is both stupid and poor will see sickness, jail time, any sort of negative as merely another price tag to pay for what others have done to them. They’ll pay the price, become a little more bitter, and continue as they were - most-likely with a heightened determination and sense of pride.










  • It depends on how you interpret the question.

    Polygraphs “work” by detecting shifts in your breathing, heart rate, perspiration, and sometimes anal sphincter tension.

    If you “aren’t lying,” typically these things do not change (much).

    If you “are lying,” you’ll begin to sweat, your heart rate will jump, and your breathing will become more rapid.

    I keep using quotes because all of this is unreliable and manipulatable.

    And the anal sphincter thing? That’s because usually all it takes to “beat” a polygraph is tightening your butthole.

    Edit to actually address your main question- if you were asked “Are you loyal to your country?” and you interpret that to mean “Are you loyal to The State?” and you’re not, and you say “Yes,” then it would probably pick up on your “lies.” But all you have to do is interpret the question in a way that would make you seem “honest.”
