    Released UK sex offenders may face lie detector tests

    BBC News I sometimes wonder how stupid the government can be. Also, I'm somewhat dubious about the civil liberties aspect of satellite-tracking and compulsory lie detector tests for people who have served their time in prison. Isn't the whole point that once you're released you've paid your...

    what is their importance? Why are they around? I have taken 4 so far: I scored a 120, 114, 138, and an 89. Okay, I admit I was only trying when I got the 138, and I screwed off when I got the 89. Plus, they were timed tests, and I don't do well on timed tests anyway. But what is their...
