Run_to_da_hills

]Bilderberger Neelie Kroes, the EU’s Digital Agenda Commissioner is set to launch a substantial review of rules governing personal documents with the aim of making electronic identities take off across the EU. But the proposal faces likely opposition from civil rights groups and member states where identity cards do not exist".

Like there was ever any possibility that you would vote Yes on anything put forward by the EU RTDH.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the referendum. At least have the decency to respect democracy and vote on the actual issue rather than some invented grand conspiracy in your head.

I was too young to vote in 1973, no doubt I would have voted NO on it. My old man always quoted DeValera warning about the potential threat of EU power over our sovereignty

We should also learn from our history books.

It comes from Brussels - Default setting is 'No', even if it's useful.

Personally I'm hoping for biochips and barcode tattoos.

I was unaware that this was being voted on next week. Those yes campaigners would have you believe it was something to do with getting are budget deficit in order or some such nonsense. Thank god we have you to steer us in the right path. :rolleyes:

You just make your self sound ridiculous and like someone wears a till foil hat when you come out with this bullsh1t, you know that, yeah?

I wouldn't be so quick to quote DeValera as a shining beacon of freedom and righteousness.

He would have been more than happy to isolate Ireland as a satellite state of the Vatican, ruled by the Pope.

And all those YES votes and those promises that went with them.

BTW Where are all those *****g Jobs? :rolleyes:

The EU has only one thing on its agenda and that is to feather its own nest, take control of the masses with microchips and dictate.

In case you haven't noticed, a number of sectors are booming.

Companies are finding it impossible to find qualified IT staff.

There are your jobs. Nobody said there would be a job for everyone, just that there would be jobs.

Yeah but identity cards don't let you use a ridiculous name like Certified Pancakes.

If it's just a framework for a EU wide approach to optional e-identities / e-signatures then no problem from me. In fact it would be a good thing and should hopefully allow for greater use of encryption and assurances of who you are talking with.

In fact there are probably many people who would favour something like this. E.g. celebrities can validate an online account (e.g. twitter) so that fake one's don't pop up spreading crap.

However if it's aim is to only allow internet use with an e-identity then it's a resounding no thank you.

e-signatures will probably be the first thing they will draft in once these cards are implemented.

It will start off as some kind of a log on "banking security" feature and then eventually become mandatory for all internet access.

You're kidding right?? Want to find yourself behind bars on the evidence of your falable, hackable, exchangable, electronic identity chip?

Do I want to get banged up in Guantanimo because I I was in close proximity to a terrorist for long enough so my ''identity'' could be cloned. Fvck sake. Madness.

Hot Polish women in my local gym.

A definite Yes vote from me next week.

Makes as much logical sense as OP.

The latest CIA/M15 Mossad EU agents airline bombers are not wearing any Kacks so they decided to have bombs surgically implanted inside themselves. :eek:

What will the come up with next LOL.

Two F-15 fighters scrambled to escort Flight 787 with 179 passengers and nine crew members to Bangor International Airport, Maine, on Tuesday, where it landed safely.

As if two fighter jets would be any use if this so called belly "bomb" went off.

This type of terrorism definitively calls for microchipping the masses. :rolleyes:

Please don't quote me when refering to F-15's, bombs, airlines and terrorists as it registers my nom de plume with the authorities.
