So, who's seen V for Vendetta??

As long as a law is made saying its wholly and solely for criminals, and runs as letum said, only for the course of the sentence.

As for the vibrating, electroshock ones - nope. never.

To suggest that it is OK to violate my body in this manner - which is internally, suggests that it is also OK to chop off the jewels of sex predators. To put someone to death is less horrible in my opinion. The shackles and ankel bracelets, not such a bad thing, but when you start to violate my body, the 'It is not right' portion of my soul stands up and takes notice.

We're not talking about you, unless you're a convicted criminal, seeking home confinement that is.

Oh and BTW castrating sexual predators, especially pedophiles, sounds like a darn good idea!

First it becomes, well, its a good thing to track prisoners. This is where we are now.

What you are missing is next it will be all of us. This is where we are all chipped. It will be billed to you as either good for you (ease of paying bills, etc.) to anti-terrorist in nature. The argument will say that we already do this safely for prisoners, etc., so whats the big deal?

This time is coming, especially for you UK'rs.

Yea and if we upset them they push the button and fry our brains

Well exageration but who to say the chip doesn't contain such a device. The chip could be designed to stop us in our tracks hits our nervous system and we become ridget or triggers an impulse to stop the heart...

No more SF movies for me

Nah, i'd never be in favor of tagging Subman, unless he broke the law that is, and only then to keep his rosy cheeks out of prison.

I meant that next week you'll be in favor of doing it to people who let their dogs poop on the lawn, and then the guy who puts his trash out on the wrong day.

The camel's nose works for both sides.

SUBMAN1 · 01-15-08, 08:05 PM

Sailor Steve has it right. It won't stop with the criminals. Like any techonology, it will ontinue its March until we are all enslaved by it.

I only want to stop it for the criminals because that is simply a stepping stone to the rest of us.

What the heck kind of answer is that?

It's in our history that we used to live in caves and run around in badly cured animal skins. Are you saying permanently tagging felons is slippery sloping to that as well?

No, but you know that governments always like to do things to increase their reach and power. Rarely has it ever gone back the other way. Remember income tax was supposed to be a temporary measure.

The biggest con ever experienced by the working masses

Kapitan_Phillips · 01-16-08, 06:20 AM

I think we should just have Judges and be done with it.

Jimbuna · 01-16-08, 06:37 AM

Or even a Terminator :p
