redundancy and the law!

so, tell me again where the lizards fit into the picture?

Hmmmm... Go watch the X factor fella, (or ironically 'Big Brother') I'm sure you children, and your children's children will thank you for it.  :rolleyes


A quick example of how things are sold to you for one thing that are actually intended for another. Anyone hear mention of a cashless society? The talk promotes this as a great thing for the future, no cash means no muggings etc, never be caught short of money again as it will all be done via microchip. It will be simpler for you (these things are always done - for you) they say.


Examine the reality.


Without cash each and every transaction must be approved and authorised by a central agency, be that a bank or a government. If you want to give your child a pound for some sweets that can only be done via card thus authorised and recorded. The date/time/location/purchase will then be data stored in your file. 


Each and every transaction will provide information on you. The magazines you read, how much you earn, where you go, what you eat and drink, who you send or pay money to be they charities or individuals. This type of info gathering already happens now under loyalty store cards, the information gathered is then sold and used for targeted advertising. You get the odd fiver from Tesco in return for your information.


In a cashless society there will be no sphere of life for which you will not be subjected to authorisation before admission, and if your 'card' is declined where do you go? As Thomas Jefferson noted several centuries ago "Any government that is big enough to provide all you need, is a government big enough to take away all that you have."

So, on the same day that Clint Eastwood has appeared in support of the U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney I have to ask you this question. "Do you trust politicians enough to give over to them all you freedoms? ... well do you... do you feel lucky punk?"  :lol

So, I suppose you like the smell of your own farts as well then?

You're on the wrong site if you think you can come on here, get all evangelical on us and not expect a poke in the ribs in return.

Yes, let's examine the reality. More and more shops that I go in are no longer accepting cards as payment because the banks are charging them too much. So rather than less cash, I'm having to carry *gasp* more cash.

You may also like to note, just for the record, that I haven't actually disagreed with anything in your earlier posting. All I've done is take the piss out of someone taking themselves too seriously. If you can't handle that without alluding to non-existant children and mind-numbing TV (neither of which I subscribe to btw) then you should get yourself a blog with a self-contained fart-o-matic air re-purifier.

So there  :rollin

Hello I seem to have aroused the the intellectuals.  :rollin

I don't mind a poke in the ribs fella, but at least try and do it by actually saying something instead of spouting morinic schoolboy drivel. As for getting evangelical, I wouldn't consider inviting people to look into things for themselves - like adults, was actually getting all evangelical.  What a strange person you are. As has been said before on this forum if you don't like the discussion then don't click on it. You're the guy reading this stuff yet you sit there blaming others for writing it. Jeez!

If you can't handle that without alluding to non-existant children etc etc...

No kid's eh? Perhaps your personality (or IQ) are acting as a contraceptive. :lol

I love this kind of stuff.   If only VNA knew so little about life that he was reduced to playground name calling....sigh. The problem is that for every individual who knows what they are talking about there are other characters who appear to be straight from the pages of Viz magazine, people who can only manage fart comments or sniggers, it's quite sad really. Is this your attempt to stifle debate for the rest of us? Or are you simply out of your comfort zone?

So there  :rollin

Hoi!  You forgot to tell me if your dad is bigger than my dad of not. :rolleyes :rollin

Sure I do Chillum. That's why I'm not going to argue with you. I made it a rule some years ago never to get into a battle of wits.... with an unarmed man.  :rollin
