    El Rojo mentioned this in another thread, and it made me start thinking..... (i know, some of you are gonna say thinking is something i should try not to do. lol)

    what are everyone's thoughts about a national id card? for? against? reasoning?

    i am against it. we dont need it. illegal immigration is not as much of a problem as we think it is.

    i dont want this card, would i be required to have it? i already have a driver's license that i never use except for at airports. i could get a state id card if i need one. i dont see the point. seems like cost and hassle for no payoff.

    to be required to carry this card, that would be terrible, and i refuse.

    As I said in the other thread:
    That kind of tracking capability is extremely powerful and very ripe for abuse. You need to put in some serious protections if you are going to go this route. The sad thing is that were pretty close to being there already and few really give a ****.

    I could not care less. I ain't skeerred and I am not paranoid. I don't plan on breaking any laws and I have nothing to hide. Bring um on. I am a very public person. Just not in my top 10,000 concerns.

    feel free to explain how what i missed in the intricate subtext "between the lines" of your post. how is this card magically free such that you dont pay anything?

    Ok, you may want to drink a cup of coffee. Me = taxpayer. Government = provide "service" Me = pay for "service" If me pay for service, me no likey. If me don't, me don't care. Me have to pay, me no likey, and me against.

    Tigerforums, so easy a caveman can do it.

    ok, i get it. so when you say "i dont care as long as i dont have to pay", what you really meant was "i do care".

    i think you are good at expressing your opinions with words, as long you dont have to use words.
