IF YOUR GOVERNMENT MADE IT MANDATORY THAT ALL CITIZENS BE IMPLANTED WITH AN ID CHIP FOR 'SECURITY' PURPOSES, WOULD YOU RESIST?


[+] serious ballot by xxxxxxxx
created Thu Aug 05, 04

Some see this technology as "the Mark of the Beast" from Revelation, some see it as encroaching totalitarianism and some may see it as a potential good safety measure, or as a convenient way to make 'futuristic' electronic financial transactions, eventually with the potential of making paper currency redundant.

These chips (presently marketed under the brand name of Verichip) could very well be in our future in the not too far distance. The government may cite reasons of national security to encourage voluntary implantation, or could contract with the manufacturers of Verichip (in the aftermath of another terrorist attack, for instance) to make it a mandatory step to enable citizens to be fully trackable by way of GPS satellite technology.

At least 1000 people in the US have already volunteered to be implanted, so this isn't sci-fi.

What do you think of this technology as a possible alternative to a National ID card? Good idea or not? And what if they made this a mandatory procedure for all citizens?

Great idea - I'll be 'chipped' if they ask me to be
Over my dead body. They'll have to kill me first
No! Encroaching totalitarianism. George Orwell must be rolling in his grave
Not sure what I think. I'll have to think some more about this
I would join rebel forces to overthrow the gov.
Resistance is Futile
I'd resist.

COMMENTS:
I think that they can be re-programmed but I would still not allow any technology to be implanted into my body. Especially if it was presented as a way of stopping terrorism or something to do with money.

What the hell is going on in this sick world!
American people are so confused and have absolutely no morals or values left, basically cynical. Why the hell would you bring another problem?
This is not the Matrix, or Terminator, we are not robots, we are humans.
Some people say black and white people aren't the same.

They say black people are "Monkeys" and white people are "Pigs", well in the future we won't be different animals, we'll just be "Robots" I,Robot

All that stuff about cloning people, implanting chips into humans, and being able to decide what gender baby you are going to have, is all science shit that will bring this world to an end. It's getting outrageous. I do not believe in that science mumbo-jumbo bullshit

Oh, and lets not forget RACISM, one of America's most attributes, I wonder what role that will play, with all the chipped Blacks, Asian, Hispanics, Middle Easterners, Jews, basically anybody that's not white walking around.

Maybe next they’ll try to program our brains! Yeah, that will be cool (NOT)

Perhaps we're jumping ahead of ourselves here, or then again, maybe not?

This may be a choice 20 years down the road or a reality just a year or so away. Might be wise to stay completely calm while keeping a 'weather eye' on developments.

Nope. For me: encroaching totalitarianism. Plus, I promised my fundamentalist father that I would not take The Mark.

I don't mind cloning or genetic engineering, and I like the idea of implanting technology in humans to make them stronger individuals, but I am against implanting ID chips for security or money purposes.

Zorra, what the hell is up with you and money?

You really get on my last .... oh fuck it it's a waste of time typing.

Fuck that science shit!

Personally, they'd have to KILL me before I took the tag. I also think that some of us might ALREADY be marked. I've had a lot of trouble with my left wrist ever since I went into the hospital back in '94 for surgery. The operation was to remove my RIGHT LUNG.

YOU DO THE MATH...

Those very alien looking grey aliens supposedly implant people with technology. Maybe the greys are behind the idea. Or maybe the government is behind the grey idea. Reagan did say to Gorby that our differences would seem very small if there were an alien threat.

This will be forced on individuals by necessity. You won't be 'compelled' to have a chip by legislation, but your life will be made very difficult if you don't comply. For example, you're not compelled to carry an ID card, but try getting by without a bank card and driving licence, life becomes very difficult.

When the chips are accepted by the majority (which they will be, with the aid of clever advertising and celebrity endorsements ), those who choose not to have the implants will be made to stand in separate queues, charged extra, refused 'special offers', services and entry to many places.

People will accept because of the benefits and it will be branded 'patriotic'. They will become the majority. Those who still refuse to be 'chipped' will be ostracised and identified with criminals (what have you got to hide?), who also won't be keen on this technology, but won't have any choice if they're convicted or have a criminal record their 'rights' will be the first to go.

When 90% of the population is chipped the few remaining resistors will be compelled by law.

Resistance is futile.

ID cards that contain biometric information are on the way. Just one more step until these cards are implanted so that us flawed humans don't lose them.

If I lived in America I’d resist until my last breath. My advice to Americans is don’t let them trick you into getting them because when you do you can say goodbye to your free will because then the government will be able to control you using those chips.
by seon on Wed Mar 23, 05 1:47am [+]

Isn't that against my human rights? Ah fuck it... We know governments don't really believe in them anyway. I'd resist. Nobody's sticking a chip under my skin.
