All religious prophecies aside. But you would have to be an idiot to willingly get yourself chipped.

Well I'll be danged, we agree on something. Like I said, religious prophecy aside, you have nothing to lose but your privacy.

I'm just a tad disturbed that it's such an easy decision for some people who repsonded recently. I'm not gonna point fingers, but it was Gazrok.

I take my privacy pretty seriously. I prefer older vehicles because I don't want a computer ratting me out for my driving habits. It's not gonna be long before your car can report your position and traffic infractions in real time- you can count me out of that.
My ex and I moved out of an apartment once because they put in a street camera across the way from us. They city promised they'd find a way to limit the camera's view of apartment windows, but sure enough a city employee was caught peeping with that camera 2 years later on the same building I had lived in. Imagine the possibilities for that one why dont you? The city of Palm Springs can look right in a citizens window and find out who he's screwing if they are looking for leverage over him!
I won't even join a supermarket's discount club. Do you know why? They keep track of your pruchases. I heard a story once about a tow-truck driver who was blackmailed out of a lawsuit because the store had record of how much alcohol he bought.

They can give me a chip, but they aren't putting it in me. If that becomes standard form they can put it on my key-ring or something. I don't want a mugger to cut my hand off. I'll just give him my keyring then call the bank and cancel my chip.

I don't see this happening anytime soon, but if somebody tells me that I either take a chip or can't purchase things I'll say good, I'd rather steal anyways.

Bring on the block, here, use my stone!

Yesturday after watching a dvd, when i turned off my player i left my tv on, . The 700 club was on, stories like the news where bein talked about, then they started a story about vera chip, and how the Owner, or some politican, that has invested in the company was goin to be chipped. What freaked me out is how positive the 700 club seemed to be about the chipping, all of the mans medical records would be on the chip. these people are fundulmentalist christains, you would think they would be rebukeing this type of technology at every turn.

Now I want to know why they didn't rebuke the chip, was it because:

1 they were or are afraid of bein sued?

2 Are they part of the false messiahahs spoken about in revalations

No chip for me. I am an atheist, but if somebody tried to tell me I HAD to get some implant in order to be allowed to buy, sell, trade, travel, live, or anything else... well, that would change my mind pretty quick... cuz I read that book, and I know how it ends!

I would deny the chip, But there are a lot of people (sheep) that would have no clue as to what is going on under the cover of night and except it as a new "cool" and "hip" item, maybe some celebrites will endorse it. Well if Brad Pitt has one then im gonna get one. Im afraid that we who deny the chip will be in the minority, looked at as outcast's and criminals

I find it pretty hard to believe that the chip will be implanted in EVERY human on Earth. Are they really going to implant the chip to every African In Africa!?!?? Are they going to Implant the chip to all does primitive tribes in the Amazonian Jungles!?!??! ........Just give it a little thought and the more you think about it the more unreal this chip becomes.

Smallpox was eliminated by immunizing almost everyone in Africa and elsewhere. It is not that difficult if well organized by a large governmental body that has authority over many nations. Implanting the world is not that outlandish considering the World Health Organizations reach.
