Thank you Phil Booth, your work is much appreciated.

after you..

[Markyboiiiiii]

You don't give any examples of how the ID cards or any of this surveillance would negatively effect our life's, so on initial judgement i'm going to say this is illogical bollocks.

[kiittyteco]

The comments by imperatorZor and radi0bread sound too formal and ordered to be natural opinions. I think they are are not wat would be used as arguments for ID cards. and notice they are both one after the other... anyway I think im gonna join NO2ID but how old do you have to be?

[ImperatorZor]

The flaw in your logic is the fact that you brought up a non factor. Tyranny does not need survielence to work, and surveilence does not mean Tyranny.

And no, your use of a comparison with nuclear weapons is not a valid argument. It is a poor and fallacious comparison. Surveilence does not equal Tryanny, one could live in a Tyrannical society with no surveilence just as easily as a free, deomcratic society with high surveilence.

[radi0bread]

Your argument is fallacious. There were no nuclear weapons in the Middle Ages either, but they still cause massive death and destruction.

It all comes down to whether you can trust the people storing this information to safeguard it and use it in a just a reasoned way. It also comes down to whether you can guarantee that their successors will do the same, and their successors, and so on.

[ImperatorZor]

Your arugments are fallactious. It makes sense to centralize indetification and medical information so that it is onhand. DNA databases and so forth make it easier to idenify lost persons.

A key flaw in your judgement is that surveilence=Tyranny. This is false, there was no ID or CCTV systems in the middle ages, yet they were oppresive shitholes to live in.

Tragic paranoia.

[funkyewan]

I agree with him, although something about how he talks makes me uneasy, I really dunno why lol.
