New Microchip ID Cards
Honestly how cool would this be?
BEIJING -- China plans to issue to its 1.3 billion people identification cards containing a microchip to replace the existing plastic-coated ID cards that are relatively easy to counterfeit, the official China Daily reported Tuesday. It will take up to five years to complete the switch to the new ID cards, the report said.

Visit your Doctor and get chipped. Would any of you accept being chipped for Medicine? I believe people will accept this. I read the article and they make this sound like a good thing. Will this make is easier to accept being chipped for other things?

just thought that this would be good to add to this topic
With the ability to track everything from cases of razors to a car passing through a toll booth, analysts say the electronic tags are to this decade what the Internet was to the 1990s -- a promise of radical change in the way business is done.

No way Id get chipped, of course theyd make it sound like a good idea, but think about it, instead of pickpockets, youd have wackjobs chopping off your hand to steal your identity. Really bad idea if you ask me. I think theres a bible passage about this... something in revelations about the mark of the devil being either in the forhead or the right hand... I've heard about this microchipping a few years back, I don't think many people will go for it imo

they are still in the proto-type stages, they already have made a chip with radio low frequency implanted in the new u.s. $20 bill.. came out last week... it is to track down money laundry and terriorts or gang related operations... or so as they say...? Maybe they are just working up to something greater?
(ie.. put a frog in a pan dump hot water on it - it'll jump out of the pan. Put a frog in a pan and slowly fill it with warm to hot water - it'll won't realize it's drowning until it's too late.)

Revelations 13: 15-18
15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

I bet you didnt know that in the UK on average you appear on camera 300 times a day, north america as abit lower than that depending on the city... Monitoring is already part of our lifestyle and many people dont even realise it... Ill just go with the flow, I have nothing to hide... The only people that will object to this type of ID is the guilty people that use or create fraudulent Identification... Im not 16 years old trying to get into ripper joints anymore, so whatever...
if it speeds up border crossings, liqure store linups, and other processing things like airport security, and also prevents bin ladens slaves from entering our country illigally Im all for it...

I believe they are trying to aim for a cashless society in the future.
Cashless ...Debit cards, mastercard, visa ect.....pretty close to being there. Many people don't write a check or carry much cash anymore
