Go and buy some wallpaper remover. You mix it up with water and soak the paper. The paper bubbles up from the wall and it is easy to scrape off in big pieces. The trick is having the patience to let it soak in.

Sounds like it's been painted over some of the layers. You can rent a special wallpaper steamer that dose a great job.

Right! TY BIBI, I know you are right...That is what I'm trying to do...I did not buy remover because the last time I found it really not any more effective than water, but this time I may have to go get it. It's soooo hot and with the ceiling fan on the liquid is evaporating and drying instead of soaking in good!
Oh and well patience is REALLY not my strong suit.
I don't know why I thought I'd actually get to paint today

If it makes you feel better 
.. NO WAY you would have painted today anyway.
Most all of the time you have to a little spackling at best, to get a wall to look good with paint. Giving that time to dry and sanding before a sealer or primer, then waiting for that to cure before covering with paint would have made for a long day and a crummy job.
Just being dry to the touch isnt enough. Anything that was wet should have at least overnight to cure before covering it with the next process.

You could, of course, remove the walls and put up new ones.
I'll go back to my corner.
