Would you agree that in order to keep America free and clear of oppression that in the Market Place of Ideas all views should be allowed to be debated? Should not any point of view be allowed into this Market Place of Ideas for examination, even that view which we find unpleasant? Is this not so because it is in the free exchange of ideas where error and truth are discovered and, if necessary, truth is adopted and error discarded? What about the ideas that Gays are not born but made, and because life is ordained by God abortion is immoral? Not so sure now, are you?

The even harder question is should someone who offers up the unpleasant that which the majority finds repulsive, like God ordains life, should the presenter of this idea be censured? Should he or she feel too fearful to stand up and be counted because those who rule the Market Place of Ideas will punish them for their views that are outside the realm of the self-perceived norm? Is it not an oxymoron to suppress, within the Market Place of Free Exchange, the ideas with threatened punishment to the holder of an idea who wishes debate? It is Free Exchange is it not?

American Gringo expat communities are microcosms of America. The downhill, philosophical slippery slope that America has taken at large is certainly fully operational in the Little Americas American Gringos create when they expatriate to Mexico. A free exchange of ideas, the debating of different points of views, within these American colonies is not allowed. It is either their way, or it is the highway. To put forth any sort of point of view with which the majority does not agree, does not hold, does not care to entertain, you are censured to the point of being threatened physically.

To suggest that if an American is interested in the language and culture of Mexico then it is reasonable to ask, “Why aren’t you doing what it takes to learn Spanish and why aren’t you living in the culture you profess to want to assimilate?”

How is remaining monolingual and culturally inept by living in the Gringolandias accomplishing this professed interest? And, isn’t threatening the one asking this question in the Free Marketplace of Ideas making the point of the questioner precisely?

When forensic psychiatrists interview a suspect in a crime, they use several tools to get the information they want. However, that does not come without a price. Perpetrators of a crime will knowingly engage in any type of deception in order to fool the investigator any way they can.

Suspects are very likely to lie, without taking into account whether they see forensic psychiatrists as enemies or probable associates in deception. If perpetrators can convince forensic psychiatrists that they are truthful, do not remember anything about the crime, or that they are simply crazy, then they definitely have an ally in court.

For instance, suppose a suspect is no doubt guilty of a sexual assault or murder but shows that he has respect for women, when in fact he does not. The perpetrator may prevaricate about past interpersonal and sexual confrontations, change or completely make up beliefs and feelings all with the expectation of being declared incompetent to stand trial and thus circumvent any responsibility in the crime. Many times such exaggerated stories are clones of symptoms that the perpetrator believes will end up in a well-known diagnosis such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PSD), multiple personality disorder (MPD), or whatever else they have seen in the media.

Malingering is a special form of deception in which the subject tries to make any physical or mental defects seem worse than they really are or fabricates them entirely. On the other hand, subjects may attempt to make a defect seem less severe than it really is. Fortunately, there are personality tests as well as several other kinds of tests that can be used to determine if the subject is lying.

Police officers, lawyers, psychiatrists, and many other people who come across criminals and suspects regularly become skillful at detecting deception. There are several techniques, though none of them are uniformly dependable, used to detect if a person is lying. They include:

Looking for signs of nervousness

Many people become nervous when questioned by law enforcement authorities. Sometimes signs of nervousness can be indicative of lying. Profuse sweating, pupillary dilation, tremors of the hands and lips, failure to make eye-to-eye contact, and hesitation and fast speech can be indicative that a person is lying.

Reading body language

Noting how the subject sits or moves in his chair may indicate deception. Such signs include twisting together of clasped hands, slouching, tapping of the fingers, fidgeting, and many others.

Using neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)

NLP is a method of reading a person’s eye movements to ascertain his or her mental state. Looking up and to the left while answering questions may be indicative that the subject is remembering something he has seen. NLP, however, is extremely controversial and has no scientific basis.

If you have watched the movie The Negotiator starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey, you would have seen an example of NLP in use.

These are some of the many tools that forensic psychiatrists or investigators use when interrogating a suspect involved in a crime.

If you are a big fan of the CSI TV shows, watch how the suspects act under interrogation. You will see good examples of the aforementioned techniques. If you have ever watched the reality TV show The First 48 on the cable channel A&E, you will see real-life examples of suspects engaging in deceptive techniques while being interrogated by police.
