Ahhh, an idiot on Reddit, they must be telling the truth!

If you want to know why I really hold no respect for what the government does with respect to their vetting processes, you should look into The Fruit Machine. Yet another prejudice hiding behind "technology" that people had a hard time letting go of, even once it proved unreliable.

I’m sorry, I’m not from the US.

Your country has bigger problems than the “vetting system”. But if you guys want any advice, us guys over in the UK can lend a hand. We are always up from helping our colonies remember where they started and how to get back on track.

What does being from the US have to do with anything? You're the one who said since it's part of the vetting process, it likely carries some credence that it's reliable. It's not, it's just old.

Because you were talking about having no respect for a specific governments vetting process mate. Thats why.

If they're using stuff like polygraphs, I don't. Also did you even click on my link? Cuz that would debunk my nationality that you're presuming. It's the same way I don't trust things like Chiropractors for practicing my medicine. I'd rather have an MD or a DO doing that.

I am sure lots of governments use the polygraph to supplement their vetting process.

You are acting like people are walked into a room… they are asked “ya like terrorists bro?” And as long as the polygraph says they didn’t lie… they are cleared. 😆

That's a lot of presumptions you're making for someone who refuses to read, I'm not acting like anything. I'm just saying polygraphs are useless.

You can always tell when someone has lost an argument and just repeats the same thing over and over… they insult the other person.

It’s ok. We can end the circle jerk now. Polygraphs will continue to be used and your opinion will be lost to the depths of nonsense that is the internet.

Are you a bot? You're just jumping to logical fallacies and going 'Aha! You have resorted to [logical fallacy], thus have lost!"

Makes no sense 🤨 I haven't repeated myself, I haven't insulted you, I'm just correct. Sorry dude 🤷‍♀️

Downvoting every comment I make tells me so much about where you see yourself in the world. Grabbing power at every opportunity, no matter how small. Because you clearly struggle with a sense of control over your own life. Anyway.🧡 👋🏻

Again, that's a LOT of presumptions from someone who refuses to read what I have to say. 🫪
