Some people say it would be so much easier with chips in us, but I say that its the worst possible scenario. Now some would say that “big mother” or indeed “big brother” watching us doesn’t mean that we should be afraid. How secure is the chip system? Can we be framed to look like we committed a crime, when we were at home? Will the chip be a more reliable witness than humans? I for one am dead against it. I am never going to have a chip inserted in me (to my knowledge anyway) and I hope to hell that things never get as bad that we seriously consider it as a tenable and cheep measure of fighting crime. Chips won’t stop crime, nor will they abate it. Its my firm belief that indeed chips inside of us are more likely to actually make us commit more crime than less. Why? Well its very simple, how do you make sure that Everyone has a chip? compulsory use? And what happens to those who slip through the cracks? They become non human, they can do whatever they like, whenever they like and never feel guilty. So if you have a chip you can’t do this? No. A chip is not going to stop you. Go on. Hit a wall. You know you can. The chip won’t stop you. Crash a car, drink and drive, very quickly people will realize how much free will they really have. And it will be all thanks to a little chip.
As long as you know its there.
Ever wonder what those injections they give you when your young were really for?

That chip is kind of freaky. What ever happened to just keeping the chip inside of animals? I mean, It doesn’t seem like it would be too bad…but it could definitely lead to something bad down the road.
