BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!

I saw this years ago, but it still puts a smile on my dial!

Seriosuly, though, I've lived with an ID card since the day I was born - literally. My birth certificate number is one that's followed me all my life. It's the same on my identity card (which was issued when I turned 12), my military ID when I did national service and my passport. The birth certificate and identity card also contain my right thumbprint.

Honest truth? I'm not too fussed by it. When I was an undergrad in Melbourne, my car got broken into and I lost $300 worth of CDs in the glove compartment. The cops came along, dusted my car and got loads of prints, but at the end of the day they couldn't do a thing about it because there were no matches. I couldn't help thinking that if I was in Singapore, the perps would have been dogmeat.

After almost 35 years, I've never been hassled by holding an ID card because I've kept my nose clean. I really don't have a problem with it at all.

Like James seen that some time ago, but then brought a smile to my face but now becoming to much of a reality.Big brother has been ,and continues to watch us from every angle, and day by day gets more information on our daily lives. How soon do you think it will be before google earth will be able to see straight into homes via powerful satellite telescopes, (frightening thought).With our ID card scheme which our cheeky government expects us to pay for. And the advent of spy cameras in space and CCTV cameras mounted around our town centres,which can control crime. And in our homes we will have no privacy of any sort.Sounds like a George Orwell movie?? maybe, but fact can sometimes be more frightening than fiction. There will be no hiding place, no privacy, you will be monitored 24/7, I guess they will eventually figure out how and when you go for a cr*p then what ??
