look at it this way, if a criminal steals your personal details as you enter them online they have everything they need to steal your identity. they steal your id number as proposed by this sytem what exactly do they have? an id number that reveals NOTHING about you which can easily be reassigned, your address and date of birth, for example, can not.
kind of a reach there, in a few ways anyway, optional security is nice. would need to see more before I'd care one way or the other on this.
Wow, I think Rubi and I have agreed on more than one thing in a month. I think this is a sign of the appocolypse. Jesting aside, this is a good thing overall. Strangely enough, in second year I wrote a proposal on something similar (had to pick a random topic). The assholes have ruined anonymity for everyone else pretty much, as is the case with virtually everything in the world. Strangely enough, the only thing they wouldn't ruin would be the "Take them out back and shoot them" law which I think should exist, but I'm a cynic and such (and it'd be impossible to find someone just enough to be able to decide, and ethics and all that shit). But I digress. @Vandiego: I'd have to agree with Decoy, thats a bit of a stretch. It simply restricts people. If everyone up here had a gun, you can guarantee people that would use it in a fit of rage would indeed use it that wouldn't go against the law to buy one. Its a bit of an extreme example, but thats always the way to go to explain things.
like there is a correlation, or that gun control laws are bad A, They target two very different problems and go about them in very different ways, this one being a buffer to financial stability and protecting ones identity and doing so through self-restriction (or rather providing you, the potential victim, with better protection tools). We know that isn't how GC really works and for some reason I feel the need to not take the popular route of bashing GC because B, it is a reach to say they do nothing to solve problems or only hurt law-abiding citizens. People now-a-days act like it is a violation of their rights if they have to stand in line or are inconvenienced in any way. They are freakin firearms, they shouldn't be sold over-the-counter at 7-11. If your jail-time is keeping a gun out of your hands, boo hoo. Can't get an RPG, oooh nooooes. Really need that 1k bullets per second to feel safe with the revolution just around the corner, stop reading books Fox advertises between the airing of gold commercials. BTW, you'll need that gold too for your post-revolution financial stability when we don't use money anymore, watch the commercial! rant over
