Hey Lisa, long time no type.
In Australia, they tried to release a national ID card some 10 years ago; it failed due to pressure from civil libertarians. However now we have something more sinister, the Tax File number (TFN), you cannot get a job, recieve welfare, or vote without it.
We are all constantly been tracked either for benevolent or unfriendly reasons.
Global positioning satalites can see what your growing in your back yard and what clothes you are wearing.
All of this is bound to get worse…666…etc
But if I have nothing to hide, I will not let it bother me. My identity is what is written in the book of Life.
God Bless

Hello Creos Mary:wave: I missed you too
Cards are one thing but the implantation of chips is to far even if it is not what revalations is speaking of it is to close for comfort
For me it would be a mortal sin to do so I would indeed feel like that is what I was taking so I will not do it

Paralysed people can now control artificial limbs by thought alone. Ian Sample reports

Matt Nagle has a chip that was placed on his brain that translates his thoughts to a computer. He is connected to the computer via a cable that is screwed into his head. Photograph: Rick Friedman
There’s a hand lying on the blanket on Matt Nagle’s desk and he’s staring at it intently, thinking “Close, close,” as the scientists gathered around him look on. To their delight, the hand twitches and its outstretched fingers close around the open palm, clenching to a fist.
In that moment, Nagle made history. Paralysed from the neck down after a vicious knife attack four years ago, he is the first person to have controlled an artificial limb using a device chronically implanted into his brain. The experiment took place a few months ago as part of a broader trial into what are known in the business as brain-computer interfaces. Although it is early days, aficionados of the technology see a world where brain implants return ability to those with disability, allowing them to control all manner of devices by thought alone. There are huge hurdles ahead. No one knows how much information we can usefully decipher from the electrical fizz of the brain’s 100bn neurons. More importantly, scientists are still in the dark as to what effect, if any, long term implants will have on the human brain, or how its circuitry will cope with the new

This condition has existed for a long time here…Social Security Numbers are required for employment in the US. It was started for our “supplemental” retirement system (in the 30’s?). They also use the SSN for credit applications, opening bank accounts, insurance id’s etc. We are easily tracked already unless you work for cash, pay with cash and don’t use a bank account.

Heck no. I am generally not a technophobe, but I don’t want any chip in my body.Would you take a chip???
Edited…unless it’s keeping me alive (i.e. pacemaker)

In fact, even OnStar gives me the willies. Their commercials sound really appealing, but the idea that someone can track your car down and unlock the doors remotely…Would you take a chip???

I’ve been hearing about the possibility of implanting chips in citizens for years and even if they try and force me I will REFUSE!
It all sounds really evil and sinister.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus have mercy on us!

I doubt that the inventors are evil and sinister. I’m sure they’ve developed it with good in mind. Unfortunately, good inventions and discoveries can be used for evil. Ask Alfred Nobel and Albert Einstein.I’ve been hearing about the possibility of implanting chips in citizens for years and even if they try and force me I will REFUSE!

I think sex offenders who have been released should be implanted with chips.
If they know someone is watching them, maybe they’ll think twice before kidnapping, raping, and killing their neighbor’s 9 yr. old child.

It won’t stop anything. If you have already resolved to do evil in the face of good then the fact that people “may see you” (for the sake of argument, as this is not how this technology functions) is irrelevent.
Implantation (it is hideous to even use words like these) dehumanizes them (the offenders) even more than they have already dehumanized themselves.
I’m against all proposed tracking systems as I believe they are contrary to our human dignity. I don’t care what you did; it does not merit your dehumanization. Such practices are abominable.

I personally would refuse a chip, Im not a dog. My word is good and the authorities can find me anytime with the present tracking systems.Would you take a chip???
Apart from the fact it is personally intrusive, I dont see the point and any government considering using these chips would be foolhardy indeed.

Lisa, I would have to say they have a warped way of thinking it would be foolish of our Government to consider tracking us.I agree
