FDA approves "The Chip", a step to the future, or to The End?

[Zappo]

Mmm... wouldn't standing near an unshielded microwave oven be enough to fry any chip on your person?

Well, with this, a certain conspiracy theory has gone from the realm of conspiracy to the realm of very possible reality. I say no more lest I wane political and get this thread closed.

Indeed. It's a sad new to hear. I am already regretting to have sired a child, and now it's obvious that I am FORBIDDEN to engender new children.

Besides, maybe I should add this to my new PBP d20 Future game on Enworld?

Well...

The idea of having my very own microchip implanted in my body appealed. I have always been an early adopter, so why not.

The brainwashed cretin.

That conspiracy theory I did read long ago, I believed it was another idiocy written to sell books. Now just a matter of years before you accept it or are an outcast unable to live and work in society. Mmmmh... maybe I should plan going to live in India as an hermit, or whatever far away.

Revelation 13:16-18
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Rev. 13:16-18

If the moon turns to blood, I'm officially freaking out.

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Actually, it's a 10-digit ID number, but who's counting...

Jay: Why the big secret? People are smart, they can handle it.
Kay : A *person* is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.

Bah!

If you implant a chip with all your information on it, I can cut it out and steal it. Imagine a world where you can just walk up to an instant teller and ask it for money from your account, and it gives it to you because it recognizes you by your chip. Think that's really gonna happen with people like me around?

You can keep my box-cutter off your airplane, but you can't keep it out of your alleys.

If this chip encourages people to stop having children, I'm all for it.

Actually, it's a 10-digit ID number, but who's counting...

Like 600 20 20 20 6?

 

[Sorren]

Like 600 20 20 20 6?

Seriously though... score one for apocolyptic prophesy.

If I remember correctly, the Rapture takes place before the Mark. That's good news to believers, bad news to the rest.

I'll not say anymore since I don't want the thread closed based on religious discussion.
