  I’d rather get chipped than plowed in prison.

  Isn’t this called Face Book?

  I believe that anyone who takes the chip is lost forever.

  i would get chipped and then rip that shit out later. i don’t want any strange foreign thing in my body tracking my movements.

• 6. sly phy  |  February 7th, 2007 at 2:03 pm

  I would when not having a chip became harder to deal with than having one.

  What if you had to choose to kill person A or kill person B, which would you do?

  ‘What If’ questions get you no where in life…

  BTW i would get chipped. There really arn’t any down sides.

  yes i would. that system would only decrease the crime levels in any given population. as long as you are a law abiding citizen, which i am, you should have no real objection to it. it isnt really an invasion of privacy, its not like its a camera or anything.

  i would have absolutely no problem with that system.

  No, the Bible says DO NOT take the mark. Wow, I’m surprised you know about the bar code. Not many people do.

  NO! I would go to prison, hands down.

• 11. Bear  |  February 7th, 2007 at 4:04 pm

  Hell no

  I’d resist til the death. I don’t think it’s necessarily a religious issue, it implies the rise of a totalitarian government

  I would take part in a revolt against any such government

  Yeah, whatever.

  This is why the Second Amendment is important, folks. Your government can do things you don’t approve of the second they no longer fear you.

  No I wouldn’t.

  I’d shoot it out with them when they came.
  They wouldn’t stand a chance against a vet like me.

  I think a lot of people would refuse to allow such a thing to be done to their bodies — it would be so unpopular, I believe, that the government would have no choice but to scrap the idea.

  And yes, I would be one of the refusers. I am the goalie of my body. Nothing goes into or onto my body without my consent.

  no

• 17. Wayf  |  February 7th, 2007 at 6:46 pm

  No, I wouldn’t. For many reasons.

• 18. Red Dakini  |  February 7th, 2007 at 7:11 pm

  I have only heard of poor pitiful persecuted Christians talking about this bar-coding/chip nonsense. Where do you get this from? Has Obama said anything about this? Has any human being ever suggested this??

  Nooo!!

• 19. Wee John  |  February 7th, 2007 at 7:16 pm

  No i wouldn’t….

  By the way it was done recently at a night club in Barcalona, where revellers actually lined up and got implanted,the only way to gain access and buy drinks was by scanning their chip which had credit on it.

  Hell, no! I worked for Wal-Mart once ( for 5 hours – long story) and the standard issue name badge that I had to wear and had to swipe in the time clock had my social security number printed in bar code form on the back. That’s what the time clock read. It freaked me out; it was like my entire identity had been reduced to 9 digits that this machine could identify in its files. I know that my SSN does actually contain a huge amount of records of my identity, but I couldn’t stand to have to wear it on my badge. My dad tells me that when the SSN was introduced, that it was promised not to be used as a national ID#, the prospect of which bothered many people. But that’s exactly what it became and that has been considered normal for generations of American citizens, so it’s easily foreseeable that getting chipped could one day be considered normal. I don’t know how a recent vote went in San Marcos, TX, but it was looking like the city council was going to make it mandatory for the pet owners of that city to have their pets chipped. You can call me paranoid, but there will be more people who will put forth the same idea for humans. Maybe they’ll throw in free digital radio receivers in our skulls!

  I never understand why people think a microchip or barcode is any different from a paper trail. Everytime you use a credit card anyone who cares would know where you at that time, same thing with a cell-phone. A mircochip would only be a new addition to the methods that are already used to track you.

• 22. ?Irony_Man?  |  February 7th, 2007 at 8:19 pm

  Yes.

  This would end all robbery and theft.

  It would greatly reduce crime rates.
