It won't really matter if they have to chip me over my cold dead body now will it?

I know this whole chip debate has been talked about for awhile now.. I just do not think the masses would ever truly allow it to be fully implemented.

Are they going to outlaw razor blades? Because if I ever get 'chipped' that'll be my tool of choice.

Said it before and I'll say it again: the only way I'll be chipped is posthumously. It's coming, make no mistake. The only questions are how soon and how we, as people who refuse the mark, will subvert the system that will require it?


TA

There is not a chance in the world that I will ever be chipped.

There is an excellent chance though that I will find a street urchin, destitute, down on his luck, and in desperate need of cash who will for a few dollars or a favor stand in some line and get my chip for me.

The can follow him/me to the ends of the earth...

Meanwhile I will be following them..."us Rabbits can be very twicky!"

Bring it on Elmer!

I already wear a GPS reciever for work, and legally I'm on emergency call 24-7-365 days a year. the GPS is so in an emergency or accident they can find me.

Even all of that I still wouldn't want one of those under my skin.

I'd kill the doctor who would put it in me.

If the public did not see any benefits to getting chipped I would agree with you. I believe there will be benefits, not only that It will be socially desirable even.

There are a lot of carrot ways to get us to accept being chipped, long before needing the stick.

There is no way that any of my family will be chipped.....

It's already happening. Verichip have been running pilot schemes in old peoples' homes (must be something in the water, the homes I've seen you wouldn't have any trouble keeping track) and the homeless (some of them don't come into the free clinic so we need to chip them to keep an eye on them...).

There was also a thread here recently about an article in a German paper in which we're told that Germany has refused patent status to a "killer chip" which releases cyanide into the implantee's system at a given signal. Apparently they refused it on moral grounds.

That device, or an approximation, must already exist somewhere else.

And of course there's a club in I think Spain where if you're chipped you get quick access to the VIP area.

And there's a burgeoning community of people chipping themselves.

No links, I'm afraid, but everything above can be checked out. There's a campaign against, too, which has a great website.
