polonius and reynaldo seemed to use the idea of following others around and being clever and well thought in their methods, so it would seem that polonius is one suspicion and mistrustful of even his own son.

Polonius has a particularly dim view of the moral rectitude of young men, probably based on his own misspent youth. He cannot believe that Hamlet is interested in Ophelia for any purpose other than getting into her pants. And in this scene he is so sure that Laertes, left to his own devices in Paris, will gamble, get drunk, fight, swear and chase women that he sees nothing wrong with having Reynaldo spread rumours along these lines in order to confirm Polonius's firm belief that Laertes will exhibit all of these faults.

Why does polonius want laertes slandered?

He doesn't, really. He wants to see if other people will agree if Reynaldo starts slandering him, and doesn't realize that this plan will hurt Laertes's reputation regardless. He's acting out of curiosity. There's also a wild theory out there that he's specifically trying to get Laertes to kill Reynaldo.

Polonius is sure that Hamlet has gone mad with love for Ophelia. See these lines by Polonius in Act 2 scene 1: ~Polonius: Come, go with me!

I did repel his letters, and denied His access to me.Polonius: That hath made him mad;~ So Polonius thinks Hamlet is suffering from the "ecstasy of love" for Ophelia, which has driven him mad.

acting is when you go into another characters mind and make them your own. when your done acting you go back to yourself. when you lie you aren't telling the truth and its you not telling the truth, not an actor.
