1). Regardless of the distance, I don't care if its 1mm, no one has any right to know your preferences. That is for you to mention. No preloaded piece of metal/plastic should do my speaking for me.
2). Businesses have better access to your financial information and purchase history so product marketing will be geared towards certain people. If you have the chip, they already know what you've bought in the past.
3). With a completely microchipped society, it will not be hard to manipulate anyone for FURTHER reduction of civil liberties. A mandatory anything is against our Constitution. I don't care if it is 'voluntary' you won't be able to buy things if the economy is built around chips.
The microchip is in the tv show 'Futurama' which gives each potential employee a predetermined job. Do I want a machine deciding what I am best at? No thank you. It is also mentioned in the movie 'Idiocracy.' Same deal. You get placed wherever the system thinks you are best at.
, thus offering the possibility of the creation of a perfect consumer workforce - a people whose only thoughts are those of working, eating, procreating and sleeping.
"What parents like the Duvals want is an implant which can be traced by satellite - but that's a long way off. Let's face it, all such a chip would do in cases like Soham is allow the police to trace the bodies more quickly. No technology would have saved those girls."
What happened to denying ignorance? Let's face it octavius you simply have no idea what you're getting yourself into.

the tiniest amount of research shows that this is what Amazon.com does already. Are they evil? No! they are giving you options for what you may like based on your previous selections.
Well it may be against your constitution but i find following laws from an age past to be misguided. You will be able to buy things, instead of being a slave to a keycard and PIN then you will use a chip instead, or if you need to identify a person. Their chip will show the answer.
"The chip is given to you according to what you are best at." So you prefer to be crappy at what you do. Congratulations.
The funny part is that is all humans do now.
And i dont know what case you are talking about. But finding the bodies quicker is preferable. You think they should be left to rot somewhere? thats gross.
I am denying ignorance. I am surprised of the ignorance of some people here. Seriously, why dont you stop attacking the government who are, well, trying to govern?
If you worked with them, they would work with you.
'Human sense' as you call it would be replaced by 'machine' sense. The last time I checked, there isn't much human sense going around either. We're not the brightest animals. We're currently fighting wars in the Middle East with no end in sight. This doesn't sound like the place I want to live.
Ok let me S P E L L it out for you.
I don't care what a machine tells me I'm best at. I know what I'm best at. Do not condescend me. You don't know me. And I hope to keep it that way. I don't want to have any friends around me who think microchipping themselves and being plugged into an electrical grid is a good idea. You'd probably chip me in my sleep. No thanks.
Ok great, does that mean I want a predetermined amount of information on my person at all times? I think not. I cannot stop businesses from marketing and researching customers' purchasing history. But I can prevent them from looking into my personal business when I happen to carry it with me. Fine, I am tracked through my credit purchases among other things. I just don't want the line to be drawn any closer.
Yeah, it is against my Constitution. It is also against my set of morals. It is called right to privacy. You don't have it in the UK anymore because you gave up all your civil rights to the crown in favor of a nanny police state that tells you what to do.
The government doesn't have the right to tell me what is right or wrong. That is my own. And no, laws that are given by God are not 'misguided' nor irrelevant. They hold more sway now as we can be tracked so readily. Without rights, we would all be cattle lined up for the slaughter (which is slowly happening as we speak anyway, even with our rights).
Wow it seems you have been brainwashed beyond all repair.
Enter Big Brother. I bet you like being told what to do. It makes it all easier. And its much simpler to let a chip speak for you than to remember that pesky number. You also probably think carrying around an ID card thwarts terrorism...And anti-gun laws stop violence at home.
Newsflash, you're wrong.
Actually no. No person has the right to tell me what I am best at. Even if they're right. And most cases, a machine doesn't have any idea what to do anyway.
We took employment tests in high school. The freaking test told me I should be an engineer or something like that.
I want to be a farmer and live sustainably off the land. An engineer can't do that. It must live in society. Well if you couldn't tell I'm no fan of society.
I will excell at whatever I do because unlike you I think for myself. I don't let others do my thinking for me thanks.
Yeah that's maybe what you do, but I like to theorize, debate, and expand my mind. I have other interests besides the carnal human nature. I never said I had evolved past them, but that doesn't mean all I do is (eat, sleep, bone).
It wouldn't matter in the slightest if that's what we did already. No chip deserves to tell us to do anything. Neither does the government, neither do you.
Um...let's see. What do you think happens when you die? Your body gets sent directly up to heaven? Or does it rot?
Where would you like the body to rot? Animals die everyday and are left on the side of the road. Is that wrong?
Its gross? You sound like a child.
'Ew, its a dead mouse. Help me, help me!'
Why don't I stop attacking government? Why don't they stop attacking me with laws and other injustices?
We have had some nanny police state laws that were passed fairly recently (I can see you're a fan) called the Patriot Act 1 & 2. I am not a huge fan of this legislation.
There will be no freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to bear arms, right to privacy.

I'm chipped. I keep finding it so they keep moving it. I guess I'm doubly screwed as my Email/sign on has 666 in it - does it count if you are forced to be chipped?

What are you talking about? Barcords? What? A smart card has 8 mechanical contacts. I really don;t understand what exactly are you guys fearing what information is so damaging that you have to fear. You fear transactional history? We have fly buys for that... don;t know what they call it outside of australia... but it's similar to frequent flyer points. Are you scared of BEING TRACKED... well don't ypu have a mobile... with TDOA AOA and GPS why are you worrying about the future, it's here now! I find it laughable that they will track you with RFID... if you really don't want to be tracked why are you sticking your RFID so close to the recievers???? RFID are powerless cards... They only power on within a certain range usually set to about 1 meter or so. My two cents.

IcEDTenG, If you had read all the posts on this thread, you might have seen this
RFID
I wouldn't fear being tracked 24/7 if I were a prisoner, or you, maybe. However having an implanted RFID with 8 mechanical contacts is not the "American Dream" here.
What do those "mechanical contacts" have in common with a barcode? They both involve number identification. I personally don't have a cellphone. But a phone can't be implanted in people, yet!
