"ID Cards and the Playstation 3 !"

One of the measures being discussed by governments around the world to combat terrorism is ID cards. These cards could hold information about you including your age (date of birth), medical records, fingerprints, retinal scan, X ray info, a photo, credit rating etc...

This not only brings up questions about matters such as "your right to privacy" but brings the possibilty that these cards could be issued at birth.

Maybe in a few years time in order to play Quake V youll have to swipe your card down the side of the Playstation 3 in order to verify your age. What will ID cards mean, how will they effect to our lives, discuss!

Far Far Away, and probably a good thing too, as I know many would kill to get their hands on a PS2 let alone a PS3!

well, it's a bit premature, tell me if i'm wrong but the PS2's only been out for a year and is still in it's early stages, the PS3 although it may have been mentioned is far away from your grasp.

Your right it would be a shame, I may be forced to get a social life!

Now that would be a great shame *cough*

Yes you could but if you were found using an adults card the adult could be fined heavily, imprisoned and the PS3 taken away!

yeh you could just borrow someone elses card and play on the game

well i bid them good luck trying to comprehend mine it will takes them ages to sift through it too its about 3 inches thick
mwuhahhaha
dont mess with me mr government

This government has tried to pass loads of legislation with a blatant disregard for privacy, one example is the proposed new medical database that will hold all our records and allows the government to look at them without our consent! Or worse give this information to third parties!

i shall repeat what i said slowly ok?

Cos i said so

Why wont it pass, the government was trying to get ID cards through before the terrorist attacks! In the aftermath ID card legislation could easily be made into law.
